Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of genetic variants in the CETP gene and QTL 10 region that may impact HDL cholesterol levels. Interpretation should be done in context of clinical history and lipid profile.
📊

Pathogenic Variant

High likelihood of affecting HDL cholesterol levels, increasing cardiovascular risk.

📊

Likely Pathogenic Variant

Probable impact on HDL cholesterol; clinical correlation recommended.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Insufficient evidence; monitoring and further testing advised.

📊

Likely Benign Variant

Low impact on HDL cholesterol; routine follow-up.

📊

Benign Variant

No known effect on HDL cholesterol levels.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, have abnormal lipid results, or a family history of cardiovascular disease to discuss testing and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor
  • Does not measure actual HDL cholesterol levels
  • Limited to known variants in databases

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor pain or bruising at blood draw site
  • Rare risk of infection at puncture point
  • Psychological impact of genetic findings

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
  • Incorrect sample type or volume

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CETP Gene HDL Cholesterol QTL 10 NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to analyze the CETP gene and the HDL cholesterol QTL 10 region on chromosome 10 for variations that may affect HDL cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk.
Why is this test important?
It helps identify genetic predispositions to abnormal HDL cholesterol levels, enabling early intervention, personalized treatment, and risk assessment for cardiovascular diseases.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample or extracted DNA is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to detect mutations, deletions, or insertions in the target genes.
What samples are required?
Blood in an EDTA tube, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required as the test analyzes DNA, not blood lipid levels.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes home sample collection across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings in major cities across India.
What do the results mean?
Results indicate the presence of genetic variants classified as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, VUS, likely benign, or benign, which may influence HDL cholesterol levels. Interpretation should be done by a genetic counselor.
Who should take this test?
Individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease, abnormal lipid levels, symptoms of dyslipidemia, or those seeking personalized risk assessment.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, such as slight pain from blood draw or bruising. Genetic results may have psychological implications, so counseling is recommended.
How can I book the test?
You can book online through DNA Labs India's website, with options for home sample collection and payment via various methods.
