Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether pathogenic mutations in the TBC1D24 gene are detected. Positive results confirm genetic basis for deafness, while negative results may suggest other causes.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected in TBC1D24 gene. Indicates genetic cause for deafness.

Action: Consult geneticist for counseling and management options.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant detected. Deafness may be due to other genetic or non-genetic factors.

Action: Consider additional genetic tests or clinical evaluation.

📊

Variant of Unknown Significance

A variant with uncertain clinical significance.

Action: Genetic counseling recommended for further assessment.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of hearing loss, have a family history of deafness, or receive a positive test result for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • Does not detect all genetic causes of deafness
  • May not identify variants of unknown significance
  • Results require correlation with clinical history
  • Not suitable for prenatal diagnosis without additional validation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at blood draw site
  • Possible anxiety related to test results

Interfering Factors
