Sample Collection
No specific preparation is required. Ensure the patient is informed about the test purpose and provides consent. Clinical history and genetic counseling session are recommended prior to testing.
Method: Blood draw
Laboratory Analysis
A blood sample is collected via standard venipuncture. Alternatively, extracted DNA or a blood drop on an FTA card can be used. The process is quick and minimally invasive.
Report Delivery
Apply pressure to the puncture site to prevent bruising. The sample is labeled and sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks.
Timeline: 3 to 4 Weeks

Understanding Your Results
No pathogenic variants detected
Negative for ATP13A2 mutations. This does not rule out Parkinson's disease or other genetic causes. Continue clinical monitoring if symptoms persist.
Pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant detected
Positive for a mutation linked to increased Parkinson's disease risk. Genetic counseling is recommended for the patient and family members. Clinical management may be adjusted based on findings.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
A genetic variant was found, but its clinical significance is unclear. Further testing, family studies, or research may be needed. Continue standard clinical care.
Consult a neurologist or genetic specialist if you experience symptoms of Parkinson's disease (e.g., tremors, stiffness, slow movement), have a family history of the condition, or receive a positive or uncertain genetic test result. Early consultation can aid in diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling.
Limitations
- ⚠This test only analyzes the ATP13A2 gene; other genetic causes of Parkinson's disease are not assessed
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications
- ⚠Results do not confirm Parkinson's disease diagnosis alone; clinical correlation is essential
- ⚠Genetic variants of uncertain significance may be identified, requiring further evaluation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk associated with blood draw, such as pain, bruising, or infection at the puncture site
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results, including anxiety or stress
- ●Risk of misinterpretation without professional guidance
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination or degradation
- ●Inadequate DNA quantity or quality
- ●Recent blood transfusions (if using blood samples)
- ●Technical errors in sequencing or analysis
