Timeline: Reports are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from the date the sample is received at the laboratory.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:A genetic counseling session is recommended before the test to discuss the purpose, implications, and expected outcomes of genetic testing.
2
During the Test:During the procedure, a blood sample is drawn by a qualified phlebotomist. For FTA card, a drop of blood is collected from a finger prick. The procedure is quick and minimal discomfort.

After the Test:After the test, you are free to leave. Your sample is processed in the laboratory, and results will be shared via the chosen delivery method.

About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

To identify pathogenic mutations in the ARHGEF10 gene associated with autosomal dominant slowed nerve conduction velocity, aiding in diagnosis, prognosis, and genetic counseling.

How to Prepare

  • Collect blood in an EDTA vacutainer; mix gently by inverting.
  • For FTA card, place one drop of blood on the marked circle and allow to dry at room temperature.
  • Label the sample container with patient name, date of birth, and collection date.
  • Ensure the sample is shipped to the laboratory within 24-48 hours if transported at ambient temperature.

Understanding Your Results

This test identifies pathogenic variants in the ARHGEF10 gene associated with autosomal dominant slowed nerve conduction velocity. The clinical significance is determined based on the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) guidelines.
📊

Positive for a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant

Confirms genetic cause; autosomal dominant inheritance; consult neurologist and genetic counselor.

📊

Negative (no pathogenic variant detected)

Does not rule out a genetic cause; other genes or mechanisms may be involved.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

A variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown; further family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a neurologist or clinical geneticist if you experience persistent neurological symptoms or if you are considering genetic testing for hereditary neuropathy.

Limitations

  • Test detects mutations in coding regions and splice sites; mutations in regulatory regions may be missed.
  • Large deletions, duplications, or structural variants may not be detected by standard NGS panels.
  • False negative results may occur if the mutation is low-level mosaic or not covered by the assay.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or discomfort at the blood draw site
  • Fainting or dizziness during or after collection

Interfering Factors

  • Maternal cell contamination in sample
  • Degraded DNA due to improper storage
  • Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ARHGEF10 gene?
The ARHGEF10 gene provides instructions for making a protein involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, which is essential for proper nerve conduction. Mutations in this gene can cause slowed nerve conduction velocity.
What is slowed nerve conduction velocity?
It is a condition where electrical signals travel more slowly than normal along peripheral nerves, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and coordination problems.
What does autosomal dominant inheritance mean?
In autosomal dominant inheritance, a single copy of the mutated gene inherited from either parent is sufficient to cause the condition. There is a 50% chance of passing the mutation to each child.
Who should consider this ARHGEF10 gene NGS test?
Individuals with symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, a family history of autosomal dominant neuropathy, or abnormal nerve conduction studies should consider this test to establish a genetic diagnosis.
What is the cost of the ARHGEF10 gene NGS test in India?
The test is offered at a special discounted price of Rs 20000 across India, including free home sample collection in multiple cities.
How is the ARHGEF10 gene NGS test performed?
The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology on a blood sample or FTA card blood spot to analyze the ARHGEF10 gene for mutations.
What sample type is required for this test?
The sample can be blood (EDTA), extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Free home sample collection is available for online bookings.
Is fasting required before the ARHGEF10 gene test?
No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before sample collection.
How long will it take to get the test results?
The turnaround time for this genetic test is 3 to 4 weeks from the time the sample is received at the laboratory.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates detection of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in the ARHGEF10 gene, confirming the genetic cause of slowed nerve conduction velocity.
What does a negative result mean?
A negative result means no pathogenic variant was detected in the ARHGEF10 gene. However, it does not completely rule out a genetic cause, as other genes may be involved.
Are there any risks associated with this test?
The test involves a standard blood draw or finger prick, which carries minimal risks such as minor bruising or discomfort at the sample collection site.
