Overview

The purpose of the CCT5 gene NGS genetic test is to detect pathogenic variants in the CCT5 gene associated with hereditary sensory neuropathy with spastic paraplegia. It serves to confirm a clinical diagnosis, differentiate it from other inherited neuropathies, guide genetic counselling, and inform family members about their recurrence risk. This test is not intended for prenatal diagnosis or predictive testing in asymptomatic minors unless clinically indicated.

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

No special precautions are required. Blood sample collection is a routine procedure. If using FTA card, a single drop of blood is applied to the card and allowed to dry.

Step 3

Report Delivery

The sample is securely transported to the laboratory. Results will be shared after 3 to 4 weeks along with a detailed interpretation report.

Timeline: The final report is delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from the date of sample receipt. The laboratory may take additional time if repeated testing or variant confirmation is required.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:A pre-test genetic counselling session will be arranged to discuss the patient's clinical history, family pedigree, and the implications of genetic testing. The patient should bring any relevant medical records and list of current medications.
2
During the Test:A simple blood sample draw or FTA card blood spot will be performed at home or at a DNA Labs India collection centre. The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.
3
After the Test:No restrictions are imposed after sample collection. The report will be available within 3 to 4 weeks and will be explained during a post-test genetic counselling session if recommended.

About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

The purpose of the CCT5 gene NGS genetic test is to detect pathogenic variants in the CCT5 gene associated with hereditary sensory neuropathy with spastic paraplegia. It serves to confirm a clinical diagnosis, differentiate it from other inherited neuropathies, guide genetic counselling, and inform family members about their recurrence risk. This test is not intended for prenatal diagnosis or predictive testing in asymptomatic minors unless clinically indicated.

How to Prepare

  • No fasting is required.
  • Use an EDTA vacutainer for blood sample.
  • If using FTA card, place a single drop of blood in the marked circle and let it air dry for at least 1 hour.
  • Label the sample with patient name and date of collection.
  • Avoid hemolysis and clot formation.

Understanding Your Results

The genetic test report will be interpreted by a qualified clinical geneticist. A positive result (presence of a pathogenic variant) confirms the diagnosis. A negative result does not entirely exclude the condition if clinical suspicion is strong.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

The patient has a confirmed genetic cause for CCT5 gene neuropathy. Genetic counselling is recommended.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

A genetic variant was found, but its pathogenicity is unknown. Additional family studies may be required.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

No disease-causing change was identified in the CCT5 gene. Alternative diagnoses should be considered.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you are experiencing symptoms such as sensory loss, spasticity, or difficulty walking, or if you have a family history of hereditary sensory neuropathy or spastic paraplegia, consult a neurologist or geneticist to discuss the suitability of this genetic test.

Limitations

  • This test only analyzes the CCT5 gene and cannot rule out variants in other genes associated with similar phenotypes.
  • It may not detect all types of mutations, such as large structural rearrangements not identified by standard NGS.
  • Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and family history.
  • Variant classification may be revised as new scientific evidence emerges.

Risks & Considerations

  • No major physical risks associated with blood sampling.
  • Possible mild bruising or discomfort at the venipuncture site.
  • Psychological implications of discovering a genetic condition in the family.

Interfering Factors

  • Contamination of the sample with DNA from other sources
  • Very low DNA quantity or quality
  • Presence of maternal cell contamination in fetal samples (not applicable for this test)
  • Sequence variants in regions not covered by the assay

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of the CCT5 gene neuropathy NGS genetic test in India?
The test is available at a special discounted price of ?20,000 across India. The price includes free home sample collection and genetic counselling.
What sample is required for this test?
The test can be performed on peripheral blood (EDTA), extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card. For home collection, the blood sample is collected into an EDTA tube.
Do I need to fast before the blood sample is taken?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test. You can eat and drink normally before sampling.
How long does it take to get the results?
The turn-around time is 3 to 4 weeks. The report will be shared digitally and by post if requested.
What does the CCT5 gene test detect?
The test analyses the CCT5 gene using Next Generation Sequencing to identify pathogenic variants that cause hereditary sensory neuropathy with spastic paraplegia.
Is this test suitable for affected children?
Yes, the test can be performed at any age. But it is not recommended for prenatal diagnosis unless specifically requested by a geneticist.
Can this test be done on a sample from someone outside India?
Yes, DNA Labs India accepts samples from all over the world. However, shipping and transport costs are extra. Contact customer support for international logistics.
What does a negative test result mean?
A negative result indicates no pathogenic variant was found in the CCT5 gene. However, it does not completely rule out the condition if clinical features are highly suggestive; other genes may be involved.
How accurate is the NGS test?
The test is highly accurate for detecting sequence variants in coding and splice-site regions. Overall sensitivity is above 99% for single nucleotide variants and small indels.
Will the test affect my health insurance?
Genetic test results may impact eligibility for certain insurance plans. Some insurers consider genetic information in underwriting. Discuss the implications with your genetic counsellor before testing.
Is genetic counselling included in the test price?
Yes, a genetic counselling session before sample collection is included in the price. Post-test counselling is also available if needed.
Which cities in India offer free home sample collection?
We provide free home sample collection in more than 200 cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, and all major urban centres.
