Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the Waardenburg Syndrome Gene Panel check for?
It screens for mutations in genes linked to hearing impairment and pigmentation changes seen in Waardenburg syndrome.
How is the test performed?
DNA extracted from an EDTA blood sample is analyzed using high-depth NGS technology to detect disease-causing mutations.
Who should consider this test?

Why is this test important?
It confirms the genetic cause of the condition, enabling early hearing and developmental interventions.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are generally available within a standard NGS reporting timeframe, depending on lab workflow.
Can this test guide treatment or management?
While there is no cure, results help clinicians plan supportive therapies such as hearing rehabilitation and regular monitoring.
Is the test suitable for children?
Yes, it can be performed for both children and adults showing relevant symptoms.
Does this test assist in family planning?
