Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dyschromatosis Symmetrica Hereditaria (DSH)?
DSH is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by symmetrical hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules on the skin, often appearing at birth or in early childhood.
What are the symptoms of DSH?
Symptoms include symmetrical hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules on the face, neck, trunk, and limbs, which are typically non-itchy and stable over time.
How is DSH inherited?
DSH is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning a mutation in one copy of the ADAR gene can cause the condition.
What is the ADAR gene's role in DSH?
The ADAR gene is the most commonly mutated gene in DSH, and mutations in this gene lead to the skin pigmentation abnormalities characteristic of the disorder.
What is the ADAR Gene DSH NGS Genetic Test?
It is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) test that detects mutations in the ADAR gene to diagnose DSH accurately.
How is the test performed?
The test requires a blood sample, which is analyzed using NGS technology to sequence the ADAR gene for mutations.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes sample collection, analysis, and genetic counseling services.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What do the test results mean?
Positive results indicate a pathogenic variant in the ADAR gene, confirming DSH diagnosis. Negative results suggest no variant detected, but clinical correlation is advised.
Is genetic counseling included?
Yes, genetic counseling services are available to help individuals and families understand the implications of test results.
Who should consider getting this test?
Individuals with symptoms of DSH, a family history of the disorder, or those seeking genetic confirmation for diagnosis and management.
