Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the TRIOBP gene associated with autosomal recessive deafness type 28.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected in TRIOBP gene, confirming diagnosis of DFNB28. Genetic counseling recommended for family implications.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected in TRIOBP gene. Consider other genetic causes or environmental factors for hearing loss.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

A variant identified but clinical significance unknown. Further testing and consultation advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of hearing loss, have a family history of deafness, or receive a positive genetic test result, consult a geneticist or ENT specialist for management.

Limitations

  • Only detects mutations in TRIOBP gene
  • May not identify all genetic causes of deafness
  • Results require genetic counseling for interpretation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
  • Psychological impact of genetic results
  • Potential for incidental findings

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TRIOBP gene deafness?
TRIOBP gene deafness is a genetic condition caused by mutations in the TRIOBP gene, leading to autosomal recessive hearing loss type 28 (DFNB28) by affecting inner ear hair cell development.
How is the NGS genetic test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from a blood sample, identifying mutations in the TRIOBP gene with high accuracy.
What is the cost of the TRIOBP gene deafness test in India?
The test costs INR 20000.0 at DNA Labs India, which includes home sample collection across the country.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
What are the symptoms of TRIOBP gene deafness?
Symptoms include difficulty hearing speech, inability to hear high-pitched sounds, tinnitus, delayed speech development in children, and balance problems.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of hearing loss, a family history of genetic deafness, or those diagnosed with autosomal recessive hearing loss should consider this test.
How accurate is the test?
The NGS technology provides high accuracy for detecting mutations in the TRIOBP gene, but results should be interpreted by a genetic specialist.
What if the test is positive?
A positive result confirms mutations in the TRIOBP gene. Genetic counseling is recommended to discuss management, family implications, and potential treatments.
Can this test detect other types of deafness?
No, this test specifically targets the TRIOBP gene. For other genetic causes, consider comprehensive hearing loss panels or other gene-specific tests.
Is genetic counseling included?
Genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing, and DNA Labs India provides resources to facilitate this process.
