Overview
The SIX1 Gene Genetic Test identifies pathogenic variants in the SIX1 gene responsible for autosomal dominant deafness type 23 (DFNA23). This non‑syndromic hearing loss often presents in childhood or adolescence, and this test clarifies the genetic cause with clinical‑grade precision.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“Genetic testing for hearing loss is an empowering step, but results must always be correlated with audiometric and clinical findings. A negative result does not exclude other genetic or acquired causes; a positive finding guides early intervention and family planning. I remain available to discuss your child’s entire auditory profile.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011
⚠ Important Medication Notice
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or hearing aid use based solely on this test result. Always consult your treating physician.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active middle‑ear infection or recent ear surgery – postpone collection until resolved.
- Inability to provide valid consent for genetic testing (especially minors – CDS Law 2026 requires parental/legal guardian signed consent).
- Red Flags: sudden acute hearing loss within 72 hours, acute vertigo with nystagmus, or focal neurological signs – proceed to emergency care, not elective testing.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What sample is required for the SIX1 gene NGS test, and can it be collected at home?
A simple blood draw (3‑5 mL in an EDTA tube), one drop of blood on an FTA card, or extracted DNA is accepted, and our DHA‑licensed mobile phlebotomist can collect it at your residence from 8 AM to 11 PM. The sample must be stored according to cold‑chain protocols and shipped within 24 hours. For infants, a heel‑prick FTA card is a gentle alternative.
عينة دم بسيطة (3‑5 مل في أنبوب EDTA) أو قطرة دم على بطاقة FTA أو حمض نووي مستخلص مقبولة، ويمكن لفني سحب مرخص من هيئة الصحة بدبي أن يأتي إليك من الثامنة صباحاً حتى الحادية عشرة مساءً.
2. How long does it take to get results, and will a doctor interpret them for me?
The turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks, and a complimentary post‑test teleconsultation with a DHA‑registered genetic counsellor is included to explain your results and next clinical steps. The report identifies pathogenic, likely pathogenic, and variants of uncertain significance according to ACMG 2026 guidelines.
مدة النتائج من 3 إلى 4 أسابيع، وتشمل استشارة هاتفية مجانية بعد الاختبار مع مستشار وراثي مسجل لدى هيئة الصحة بدبي لشرح النتائج والتوجيه.
3. Is this test covered by insurance, and what if I need a genetic counselling session beforehand?
Many UAE insurers cover genetic hearing loss testing when medically indicated; we verify your benefits instantly via WhatsApp and also arrange a pre‑test genetic counselling session to construct a three‑generation pedigree. Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87) protects the confidentiality and informed consent for genetic data.
