Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the CD40LG gene. A positive result confirms diagnosis, while a negative result may require further testing.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome. Genetic counseling and treatment initiation recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

CD40LG gene mutation not identified. Consider other genetic or immunological causes if symptoms persist.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If experiencing recurrent infections, chronic diarrhea, or growth issues, especially with a family history of immunodeficiency, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and possible genetic testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or intronic variants
  • Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or discomfort at blood draw site
  • Minimal risk of infection
  • Emotional impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Degraded DNA sample
  • Contaminated sample
  • Incorrect sample type

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CD40LG Gene Immunodeficiency?
It is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CD40LG gene, leading to impaired immune function and hyper-IgM syndrome.
What are the symptoms of X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome?
Symptoms include recurrent infections, chronic diarrhea, enlarged lymph nodes, liver or spleen, and failure to thrive.
How is the CD40LG gene test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the CD40LG gene from a blood or DNA sample.
What is the cost of the NGS Genetic Test in India?
The test costs INR 20000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings across India.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What does a positive test result mean?
A positive result confirms a pathogenic mutation in the CD40LG gene, diagnosing X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.
Can this test be done for prenatal diagnosis?
Prenatal testing may be possible with genetic counseling, but it requires specific sample types and consultation.
Is genetic counseling required before the test?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended to understand the test implications and family history.
What are the treatment options for hyper-IgM syndrome?
Treatment includes immunoglobulin replacement therapy, prophylactic antibiotics, and in some cases, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the insurance provider; it is not typically covered under government schemes like PMJAY or CGHS.
How accurate is the NGS Genetic Test?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting mutations, but results should be interpreted in clinical context with genetic counseling.
