Pre‑Test Information & Preparation
A mandatory genetic counselling session with a certified genetic counsellor is required before sample collection. The session includes drawing a detailed pedigree chart of family members affected by PAX8‑related hypothyroidism. To ensure optimal DNA quality, avoid the following for 24 hours prior to blood draw unless your physician advises otherwise: biotin supplements, high‑dose vitamin B7, and anticoagulant medications. Please bring a completed clinical history form and relevant medical reports.
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a senior clinical pathologist, I emphasize that genetic test results should always be interpreted in the context of your child's clinical symptoms, thyroid function tests, and family history. This NGS test provides comprehensive sequencing of the PAX8 gene, but a negative result does not exclude other genetic or environmental causes of congenital hypothyroidism. Please consult your endocrinologist or pediatrician before making any medical decisions.”

Safety Exclusion & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion criteria: Active systemic infection, recent blood transfusion (within 4 weeks), or inability to provide informed consent (minors require legal guardian approval per CDS Law 2026).
- Seek emergency care immediately if your child exhibits extreme lethargy, difficulty breathing, poor feeding, or hypothermia — potential signs of thyroid crisis unrelated to the test procedure.
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
