About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

The primary purpose of this test is to provide high-throughput DNA sequencing for clinical and research applications. It helps in identifying disease-causing mutations, guiding targeted therapy, and understanding genetic predispositions. It is also used for pathogen identification and antimicrobial resistance profiling.

How to Prepare

  • Provide a blood sample (5-10 mL in EDTA tube) or tissue biopsy as per clinical requirement.
  • DNA extraction will be performed at the laboratory; ensure sample is transported at 2-8°C if not processed immediately.
  • For outstation samples, use dry ice shipment to maintain DNA integrity.

Understanding Your Results

The sequencing results are analyzed using bioinformatics pipelines to identify variants. Variants are annotated and classified according to ACMG guidelines. The report includes clinically significant findings, coverage metrics, and quality scores.
Pathogenic variants: Indicate disease causation; clinical correlation required.
Likely pathogenic variants: High likelihood of pathogenicity; further testing may be needed.
Variants of uncertain significance (VUS): Insufficient evidence; may require family studies.
Benign variants: No clinical significance.
Coverage metrics: Ensure target regions have adequate depth for reliable variant calling.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic counselor or physician if you have a family history of genetic disorders, if you are considering carrier screening, or if you have been diagnosed with cancer and need targeted therapy options.

Limitations

  • Not suitable for whole-genome sequencing due to limited output
  • May not detect large structural variants or repeat expansions
  • Requires high-quality DNA; poor quality may lead to failed runs
  • Bioinformatics interpretation requires expert review
  • Variant pathogenicity may be uncertain in some cases

Risks & Considerations

  • No direct physical risks as the test is performed on extracted DNA.
  • Blood collection may cause minor bruising or discomfort.
  • Psychological impact of unexpected genetic findings.

Interfering Factors

  • Low DNA concentration or degraded DNA
  • Contamination with RNA or proteins
  • PCR inhibitors in the sample
  • Incorrect library preparation
  • Insufficient sequencing depth for rare variants
