Understanding Your Results

Genetic testing for ABCC9 gene mutations helps diagnose dilated cardiomyopathy type 1O. Results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or cardiologist in the context of clinical findings.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of ABCC9 gene cardiomyopathy. Genetic counseling and cardiac management recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Reduces likelihood of ABCC9-related cardiomyopathy, but clinical correlation and further testing may be needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further testing, family studies, and clinical follow-up are required for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or have a family history of cardiomyopathy, consult a cardiologist or geneticist immediately.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in the ABCC9 gene
  • ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be reported
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for accurate interpretation
  • ⚠Does not rule out other causes of cardiomyopathy

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • ●Potential for genetic discrimination concerns
  • ●Psychological impact of results, requiring counseling

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample hemolysis
  • ●Insufficient DNA quantity
  • ●Contamination during collection or processing

The cost is approximately INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across many cities in India.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What does a positive test result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the ABCC9 gene, confirming diagnosis and guiding treatment and genetic counseling.
Can this test be performed on children?
Yes, the test can be performed on individuals of all ages, but genetic counseling is recommended for minors.
Is genetic counseling required before the test?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is recommended to discuss implications, family history, and interpretation of results.
What is the accuracy of the NGS genetic test?
