Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sengers syndrome?
Sengers syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the AGK gene, affecting the heart, muscles, and eyes, with symptoms like cardiomyopathy and cataracts.
What causes Sengers syndrome?
It is caused by mutations in the AGK gene, which encodes acylglycerol kinase, an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism.
How is Sengers syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, such as NGS, to identify mutations in the AGK gene, along with clinical evaluation.
What is NGS genetic testing?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput method that analyzes multiple genes simultaneously to detect mutations associated with genetic disorders.
What is the cost of the AGK gene test in India?
The cost at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in numerous cities across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Reports are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What are the symptoms of Sengers syndrome?
Symptoms include cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness and wasting, cataracts, hearing loss, and lactic acidosis.
Is Sengers syndrome inherited?
Yes, it is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning both parents must carry the mutated gene for a child to inherit the condition.
Can Sengers syndrome be treated?
There is no cure, but management focuses on treating symptoms and complications, with genetic counseling for families.
Who should get tested for Sengers syndrome?
Individuals with symptoms like cardiomyopathy or cataracts, or those with a family history of the syndrome, should consider testing.
How accurate is NGS testing for the AGK gene?
NGS is highly accurate and sensitive for detecting mutations in the AGK gene, providing reliable diagnostic results.
