Understanding Your Results

Results are interpreted based on the presence or absence of mutations in the ANKH gene, with genetic counseling recommended for comprehensive understanding.
📊

Mutation Detected

Consistent with Chondrocalcinosis Type 2. Genetic counseling and clinical management are advised.

📊

No Mutation Detected

Low likelihood of ANKH-related Chondrocalcinosis Type 2. Further clinical evaluation may be needed if symptoms persist.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, or have a family history of joint disorders for appropriate testing and management.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a geneticist
  • ⚠Does not replace clinical evaluation

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or discomfort
  • ●Very low risk of infection at puncture site

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chondrocalcinosis Type 2?
Chondrocalcinosis Type 2 is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ANKH gene, leading to calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition in joints, causing pain and inflammation.
What does the ANKH gene do?
The ANKH gene provides instructions for the ANK protein, which regulates inorganic pyrophosphate levels, influencing crystal formation in joints.
How is the ANKH Gene Chondrocalcinosis Type 2 NGS Genetic Test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing to analyze DNA from a blood or saliva sample for mutations in the ANKH gene.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with chronic joint pain, stiffness, family history of chondrocalcinosis, or unexplained calcium deposits in joints.
Is the test painful?
The test involves a simple blood draw or saliva collection, with minimal discomfort similar to routine blood tests.
How accurate is this genetic test?
NGS technology provides high accuracy in detecting ANKH gene mutations, but results should be interpreted by a geneticist.
What are the symptoms of Chondrocalcinosis Type 2?
Common symptoms include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and calcium deposits visible on imaging.
Can this test be done at home?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across India.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000.0, with possible discounts available for online bookings.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available in 3-4 weeks, delivered via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
Is genetic counseling recommended after the test?
Yes, genetic counseling is advised to understand results, implications, and management options.
What should I do if the test shows a mutation?
Consult a doctor or geneticist for personalized treatment plans, which may include medications, lifestyle changes, or further monitoring.
