Method
NGS Technology
Step 1

Sample Collection

No fasting is required. A pre-test genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with ATP10A-related neurodevelopmental disorders. Please carry clinical history, referral notes, previous investigation reports, and any prior genetic testing records.

Method: Venipuncture or FTA card blood spot

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

A blood sample will be collected by venipuncture, or a one-drop blood sample will be collected on an FTA card. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.

Step 3

Report Delivery

You can resume routine activities immediately. If you experience excessive bleeding, swelling, or signs of infection at the puncture site, contact your physician.

Timeline: The genetic test report is usually available within 3 to 4 weeks after the sample reaches the laboratory.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:No fasting is required. A genetic counseling session should be completed before testing to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with ATP10A-related disorders. Please bring clinical history, prior reports, and referral notes.
2
During the Test:A blood sample will be collected by venipuncture, or a one-drop blood sample will be collected on an FTA card. The procedure is safe and takes only a few minutes.
3
After the Test:You can return to normal activities immediately after sample collection. Any unexpected local symptoms at the collection site should be reported to your doctor.

About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

To identify pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the ATP10A gene that may increase susceptibility to autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, and Angelman syndrome, and to provide information for diagnosis, risk assessment, and genetic counseling.

How to Prepare

  • Maintain the sample at ambient room temperature for FTA cards
  • Use only the provided blood collection tube for blood sampling
  • Label the sample clearly with patient name, unique ID, and collection time
  • Ensure the sample reaches the laboratory within the required transport time
  • Avoid exposing the FTA card to direct sunlight or high temperature

Doctor's Notes

Reviewed by — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532

"Clinical correlation is essential because ATP10A variants may act as susceptibility factors rather than definitive causes. A multidisciplinary approach with neurology, pediatrics, clinical genetics, and obstetric/gynecologic counseling is recommended."

Understanding Your Results

The ATP10A NGS test result should be interpreted by a clinical geneticist along with the patient's clinical presentation, family pedigree, and other laboratory findings. The following categories are commonly used for a single-gene NGS report.
📊

Pathogenic / Likely pathogenic

Supports increased susceptibility or possible contribution to the neurodevelopmental phenotype; may guide management and family testing.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Cannot be classified as benign or pathogenic at present; additional segregation or functional studies may be required.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

A clinically significant mutation in ATP10A was not identified; other genetic or non-genetic causes should be considered.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your referring physician or a clinical geneticist if the test shows a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant, a variant of uncertain significance is reported, symptoms persist despite a negative result, or you need help understanding recurrence risk and family planning options.

Limitations

  • This test only analyzes the ATP10A gene and does not rule out other genetic causes
  • Mutations in other genes associated with autism, intellectual disability, or Angelman syndrome will not be detected
  • Large structural rearrangements, deep intronic variants, and methylation defects may not be detected unless additional testing is performed
  • A variant of uncertain significance may be reported and require further family studies
  • Result should always be interpreted alongside clinical features and pedigree information

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising at the venipuncture site
  • Rare bleeding or hematoma
  • Very rare infection at the puncture site
  • Emotional or psychological impact of receiving a genetic test result

Interfering Factors

  • Poor DNA quality or insufficient sample quantity
  • Sample contamination during collection or processing
  • NGS coverage gaps in certain gene regions
  • Presence of pseudogenes or complex genomic rearrangements
  • Very large deletions or structural variants may not be detected by standard NGS analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATP10A gene test?
This NGS genetic test analyzes the ATP10A gene on chromosome 15 to identify pathogenic mutations associated with susceptibility to autism, intellectual disability, and Angelman syndrome.
What is the cost of the ATP10A gene NGS test at DNA Labs India?
The test costs Rs 20,000. Home sample collection is offered free for online bookings in many cities across India.
What sample is needed for ATP10A gene NGS testing?
The sample can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. A simple venipuncture or FTA card spot is used.
Do I need to fast before this test?
No fasting is required. The test can be done at ambient room temperature without any special preparation.
How long does the ATP10A NGS genetic test take?
The report is generally available within 3 to 4 weeks after the sample reaches the laboratory.
Who should consider this ATP10A gene test?
It may be considered if there is clinical suspicion of autism, intellectual disability, Angelman syndrome, or a family history of these neurodevelopmental disorders.
Does a negative result rule out Angelman syndrome or autism?
No. A negative result does not exclude these conditions because other genes and non-genetic factors may also be responsible. The result should be interpreted by a clinical geneticist.
Does the test include genetic counseling?
Pre-test genetic counseling is recommended and includes a pedigree chart of affected family members. DNA Labs India provides counseling support to help interpret results.
What does a pathogenic ATP10A variant mean?
A pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant indicates increased susceptibility and supports the clinical diagnosis, but it is not a standalone diagnostic certainty.
Can this NGS test detect other genetic causes?
The test specifically targets the ATP10A gene. Broader testing, such as whole exome sequencing or a multi-gene neurodevelopmental panel, may be needed to evaluate other genes.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in many cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune.
How should the ATP10A gene test result be used?
The result should be discussed with the referring neurologist, pediatrician, or clinical geneticist for diagnosis, management, and family planning decisions.
