Sample Stability

Sample Rejection Criteria:
  • Hemolyzed or lipemic blood samples
  • Contaminated samples
  • Incorrect sample type or insufficient volume

Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the ARSE gene. A positive result confirms diagnosis, while negative results may require further testing or clinical correlation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Chondrodysplasia punctata; genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

May indicate absence of ARSE gene mutation, but does not rule out other genetic causes; further testing may be needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Additional family studies or functional analysis may be required for clarity.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic counselor or medical geneticist if test results are positive, if symptoms persist despite negative results, or for carrier testing and family planning advice.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variants, such as large deletions or duplications
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or medical geneticist
  • Testing may not be available for all populations or rare mutations

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or discomfort
  • Psychological impact of genetic diagnosis

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
  • Insufficient sample volume

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ARSE Gene Chondrodysplasia punctata NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test using Next Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the ARSE gene, which causes Chondrodysplasia punctata, an X-linked recessive disorder affecting bone and cartilage development.
Who should get this test?
Individuals with symptoms such as short stature, skeletal abnormalities, or facial abnormalities, as well as those with a family history of the disorder, and females considering carrier testing or prenatal diagnosis.
What are the symptoms of Chondrodysplasia punctata?
Symptoms include short stature, abnormal bone development, facial abnormalities, cataracts, skeletal abnormalities, and intellectual disability, varying in severity.
How is the test performed?
The test requires a blood or saliva sample, which is analyzed in a lab using NGS technology to sequence the ARSE gene for mutations.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000, with free home sample collection available across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from the time the sample is received at the lab.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
Can females be tested for this disorder?
Yes, females can be tested as carriers, and the test is recommended for carrier testing and prenatal diagnosis in families with a history of the disorder.
What is the accuracy of the test?
NGS genetic testing is highly accurate for detecting pathogenic variants in the ARSE gene, but accuracy depends on sample quality and lab standards.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic testing may have psychological implications, so counseling is advised.
How can I interpret the results?
A genetic counselor or medical geneticist will help interpret results, explaining whether a pathogenic variant is detected and its implications for diagnosis and family planning.
Where can I get this test done in India?
The test is available at DNA Labs India with home collection in cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and many others listed on our website.
