How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to identify mutations in the ACTC1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of a mutation in the ACTC1 gene, confirming the diagnosis of FHC11 and requiring further management.
What if the test is negative?
A negative result means no mutation was detected, but clinical correlation and additional tests may be needed if symptoms persist.
Is genetic counseling required before the test?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is recommended to understand the implications of the test and results.
