Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether pathogenic mutations in the CAV3 gene are detected. A positive result confirms genetic predisposition to familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic mutation detected. Increased risk for FHC. Clinical correlation and family screening recommended.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic mutations detected. Does not completely rule out FHC if clinical suspicion remains.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Genetic variant found but significance unknown. Further testing and clinical evaluation advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or have a family history of heart disease, consult a cardiologist or genetic counselor.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in the CAV3 gene
  • ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be identified
  • ⚠Does not rule out other genetic causes of cardiomyopathy

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising at the blood draw site
  • ●Rare risk of infection
  • ●Emotional impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality
  • ●Contamination during collection
  • ●Recent blood transfusion

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CAV3 Gene Cardiomyopathy NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that analyzes the CAV3 gene for mutations associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using next-generation sequencing technology.
Who should get this test?
Individuals with a family history of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, those experiencing symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, or those recommended by a healthcare provider.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and sent to the lab where DNA is extracted and the CAV3 gene is sequenced using NGS.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20000, which includes sample collection, testing, and report generation.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across many cities in India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the CAV3 gene, increasing the risk for familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Genetic counseling is recommended.
What if the result is negative?
A negative result means no known pathogenic mutations were detected, but it does not completely rule out the condition if clinical suspicion remains.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves a standard blood draw with minimal risks such as bruising. Emotional impact of results is possible.
Is genetic counseling provided?
Yes, genetic counseling is included to help interpret results and understand implications for family members.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This test is for diagnostic purposes in affected individuals. For prenatal testing, consult a genetic counselor for appropriate options.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS technology is highly accurate for detecting mutations, but no test is 100% foolproof. Variants of uncertain significance may be identified.
