Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether pathogenic mutations in the ACVRL1 gene are detected. A positive result confirms HHT Type 2 diagnosis, while a negative result may require further testing or clinical evaluation.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of HHT Type 2. Recommend clinical management and family screening.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected in ACVRL1 gene. Consider other HHT genes or clinical assessment.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Genetic variant identified but clinical significance unknown. Requires follow-up and genetic counseling.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare provider if you experience symptoms like recurrent nosebleeds, bleeding from GI tract, or skin spots, especially with a family history of HHT. After receiving test results, seek genetic counseling for interpretation and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants, including deep intronic mutations
  • Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be identified
  • Does not rule out other forms of HHT or related disorders
  • Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results
  • Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
  • Hemolyzed blood sample
  • Recent blood transfusion

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ACVRL1 Gene HHT Type 2 NGS Genetic Test?
This test uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the ACVRL1 gene, which causes Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Type 2, a genetic disorder affecting blood vessels.
Why is this test recommended?
It is recommended for individuals with symptoms of HHT, such as recurrent nosebleeds or skin telangiectasias, or a family history of the disorder, to confirm diagnosis and guide management.
What are the symptoms of HHT Type 2?
Symptoms include recurrent nosebleeds, gastrointestinal bleeding, skin red spots, and potentially serious complications like arteriovenous malformations in organs.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to identify genetic mutations in the ACVRL1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
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 confirms a diagnosis of HHT Type 2, indicating the presence of a pathogenic mutation in the ACVRL1 gene.
What if the result is negative?
A negative result means no mutations were detected in the ACVRL1 gene, but clinical evaluation may still be needed if symptoms persist.
Can this test be done at home?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in many cities across India.
Is genetic counseling provided?
Yes, genetic counseling is included to help interpret results and discuss implications for family planning and health management.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic results may have psychological impacts, so counseling is recommended.
