Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the CD79B gene. Positive results confirm diagnosis, while negative results may require further testing.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of CD79B Gene Agammaglobulinemia Type 6. Consult a specialist for treatment options.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Does not rule out other genetic or non-genetic causes. Clinical correlation and additional tests may be needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further analysis and family studies recommended. Genetic counseling advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience recurrent infections, have a family history of immunodeficiency, or receive a positive test result, consult a hematologist or immunologist promptly.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible genetic variants or deep intronic mutations
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
  • Does not rule out other causes of immunodeficiency

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising
  • No significant risks associated with the genetic test itself

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
  • Insufficient sample volume
  • Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CD79B Gene Agammaglobulinemia Type 6?
It is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CD79B gene, leading to low immunoglobulin levels and recurrent infections.
How is CD79B Gene Agammaglobulinemia Type 6 diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through NGS genetic testing, which sequences the CD79B gene to identify pathogenic mutations.
What are the symptoms of this condition?
Symptoms include recurrent respiratory, ear, sinus, skin, and gastrointestinal infections, along with fever and cough.
What is the cost of the NGS Genetic Test in India?
The test costs INR 20000 at DNA Labs India, with home sample collection available.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered 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 sample type is required for the test?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card can be used.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What should I do if I receive a positive result?
Consult a hematologist or immunologist for further evaluation and treatment options, such as immunoglobulin therapy.
Can this test detect all mutations in the CD79B gene?
NGS provides comprehensive analysis, but it may not detect all possible variants, such as deep intronic mutations.
Is genetic counseling recommended before testing?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is advised to understand the test implications and draw a family pedigree chart.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising, but no significant genetic test-related risks.
