Overview

The purpose of the CFHR3 Gene HUS NGS Genetic Test is to detect mutations in the CFHR3 gene that may cause or predispose individuals to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This test aids in confirming a genetic diagnosis, differentiating atypical HUS from other forms, guiding targeted therapy, assessing family risk, and facilitating genetic counseling.

About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

The purpose of the CFHR3 Gene HUS NGS Genetic Test is to detect mutations in the CFHR3 gene that may cause or predispose individuals to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This test aids in confirming a genetic diagnosis, differentiating atypical HUS from other forms, guiding targeted therapy, assessing family risk, and facilitating genetic counseling.

How to Prepare

  • Blood sample: Collect via venipuncture in an EDTA tube.
  • Extracted DNA: Ensure proper handling and storage.
  • FTA Card: Use one drop of blood on the card as per protocol.

Doctor's Notes

Reviewed by — MBBS, MD (Pathology) · Reg. No. 21521

"Genetic testing for CFHR3 gene mutations is crucial for diagnosing atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and guiding personalized treatment. Consult a genetic counselor or nephrologist for comprehensive evaluation and management."

Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the CFHR3 gene. Positive results suggest a genetic predisposition to hemolytic uremic syndrome, while negative results may not rule out other causes.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms genetic basis for HUS; consider complement inhibitor therapy and family screening.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further clinical correlation and family studies recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Genetic cause unlikely; evaluate for other etiologies of HUS.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of HUS such as abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, or decreased urine output, or if you have a family history of HUS. After testing, discuss results with a nephrologist or genetic counselor for management.

Limitations

  • This test may not detect all genetic variants or mutations in the CFHR3 gene.
  • Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and family history.
  • Genetic testing has limitations in predicting disease severity or onset.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CFHR3 Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome NGS Genetic Test?
This test uses Next-Generation Sequencing to analyze the CFHR3 gene for mutations linked to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a condition causing red blood cell destruction and kidney failure.
Why is this test recommended?
It is recommended for individuals with symptoms of HUS, family history of atypical HUS, or unexplained thrombotic microangiopathy to identify genetic causes and guide treatment.
What are the symptoms of CFHR3 gene-related HUS?
Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, decreased urine output, fatigue, fever, headache, jaundice, nausea, vomiting, pale skin, and rapid heartbeat.
How is the test performed?
The test involves collecting a blood sample, extracted DNA, or a blood drop on an FTA card, which is then analyzed using NGS technology to sequence the CFHR3 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000 in India, with free home sample collection available in many cities.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What do positive results mean?
Positive results indicate a pathogenic variant in the CFHR3 gene, suggesting a genetic predisposition to HUS. Consult a doctor for management options.
Can this test diagnose all types of HUS?
No, it specifically detects genetic mutations in the CFHR3 gene associated with atypical HUS. Other forms may require different tests.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings across India, including major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and more.
Who should I consult before and after the test?
Consult a nephrologist, hematologist, or genetic counselor for pre-test counseling and post-test interpretation and management.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test itself has minimal risks, such as discomfort from blood draw. Genetic testing may have psychological implications, so counseling is advised.
