Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA-licensed clinical expert, I emphasise that GJB6 genetic results must be correlated with a complete audiological assessment and family history. This NGS panel delivers comprehensive detection of both common and rare variants, empowering families with a definitive molecular diagnosis. However, no single test replaces thorough clinical evaluation.”

⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medications, hearing aids, or cochlear implant therapy without consulting your doctor. Genetic results are not a substitute for medical management.
