Overview

The purpose of this NGS genetic test is to detect mutations in the ATRIP gene that cause Seckel syndrome. It aids in confirming a clinical diagnosis, identifying carriers, and providing information for genetic counseling and family planning. The test also helps in differentiating ATRIP-related Seckel syndrome from other similar conditions, guiding appropriate medical management and surveillance.

Step 1

Sample Collection

No special preparation is required. However, a genetic counseling session is recommended before the test to discuss the implications and obtain informed consent.

Method: Venipuncture or Finger-prick

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

A blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm, or a finger-prick blood spot is collected on an FTA card. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.

Step 3

Report Delivery

No specific aftercare is needed. The sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks.

Timeline: Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after the sample reaches the laboratory.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:Before the test, a genetic counseling session is recommended to discuss the purpose, risks, benefits, and potential outcomes. The counselor will draw a pedigree to understand the family history.
2
During the Test:The test involves a simple blood draw or finger-prick. No anesthesia is required. The procedure is safe and quick.
3
After the Test:After the test, you can resume normal activities. The laboratory will process the sample, and results will be shared with your healthcare provider. A follow-up genetic counseling session is advised to discuss the results.

About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

The purpose of this NGS genetic test is to detect mutations in the ATRIP gene that cause Seckel syndrome. It aids in confirming a clinical diagnosis, identifying carriers, and providing information for genetic counseling and family planning.

How to Prepare

  • For blood sample: Use EDTA tube, fill to the indicated mark.
  • For FTA card: Apply one drop of blood onto the designated circle, allow to air dry.
  • Label the sample with patient's name, date of birth, and collection date.
  • Transport the sample at ambient temperature to the laboratory.

Understanding Your Results

The test results are interpreted by a clinical geneticist. The presence of a pathogenic variant in the ATRIP gene confirms the diagnosis of ATRIP-related Seckel syndrome. The report includes variant details, zygosity, and clinical significance.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of ATRIP-related Seckel syndrome. Genetic counseling is recommended for the family.

📊

Likely pathogenic variant detected

Highly suggestive of the condition; further confirmation may be needed through family studies.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Cannot be definitively classified; additional testing or family segregation analysis may be required.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

No mutation found in the ATRIP gene; however, clinical suspicion may warrant testing of other genes.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you or your child exhibit symptoms such as severe growth delay, microcephaly, or intellectual disability, or if there is a family history of Seckel syndrome, consult a clinical geneticist or pediatrician for evaluation and possible genetic testing.

Limitations

  • This test detects mutations only in the ATRIP gene; other genes associated with Seckel syndrome are not covered.
  • Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) may require further family studies.
  • Large deletions/duplications may not be detected by standard NGS; additional testing may be needed.
  • Negative result does not completely rule out the condition if clinical suspicion is high.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
  • Psychological impact of receiving genetic results
  • Potential for uncertain results (VUS) requiring further testing

Interfering Factors

  • Poor DNA quality or quantity
  • Contamination during sample collection
  • Presence of maternal cell contamination in prenatal samples
  • Incomplete clinical information may affect interpretation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of the ATRIP Gene Seckel syndrome NGS genetic test?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India. This includes the genetic counseling session and the NGS analysis.
What sample is required for the test?
The test can be performed on a blood sample (2-3 ml in EDTA tube), extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
How long does it take to get the results?
The turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks from the time the sample is received at the laboratory.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
What is the accuracy of the NGS test?
NGS technology has high accuracy (greater than 99%) for detecting single nucleotide variants and small insertions/deletions in the ATRIP gene.
Can this test detect all types of mutations in the ATRIP gene?
The test detects point mutations and small indels. Large deletions or duplications may not be detected; additional testing may be required.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with clinical features suggestive of Seckel syndrome, or those with a family history of the condition, should consider this test.
Will the test provide information for genetic counseling?
Yes, the test results are interpreted by a geneticist and can be used for genetic counseling, including recurrence risk assessment.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage varies. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. We also offer a discounted price of INR 20,000.
What is the difference between this test and a Seckel syndrome panel?
This test focuses only on the ATRIP gene, while a panel includes multiple genes associated with Seckel syndrome. A panel may be more comprehensive if the genetic cause is unknown.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed. However, a genetic counseling session is recommended before the test to discuss the implications.
