Understanding Your Results

Results from the CISD2 Gene Wolfram Syndrome Type 2 NGS Genetic Test should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or healthcare provider in the context of clinical findings and family history.
📊

Positive for pathogenic mutation

Confirms diagnosis of Wolfram Syndrome Type 2 or carrier status. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic mutation

No CISD2 gene mutations detected. Does not completely rule out other genetic causes if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing and family studies may be needed.

📊

Carrier status

Heterozygous mutation detected; individual is a carrier. Risk of passing to offspring if partner is also a carrier.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you or a family member experience symptoms such as hearing loss, vision loss, diabetes, bladder problems, or balance issues, especially with a family history of Wolfram Syndrome. Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations (e.g., large deletions)
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results may have variants of uncertain significance (VUS)
  • Not a substitute for clinical evaluation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
  • Psychological impact of genetic results
  • Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Hemolyzed blood samples
  • Improper sample storage

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Wolfram Syndrome Type 2?
Wolfram Syndrome Type 2 is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CISD2 gene, leading to symptoms like hearing loss, vision loss, diabetes, and neurological issues.
How is the CISD2 Gene Test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the CISD2 gene for mutations from a blood or DNA sample.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of Wolfram Syndrome Type 2, a family history of the disorder, or those seeking carrier testing.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes home sample collection across India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home collection is available in many cities across India for online bookings.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the results mean?
Results can indicate positive for mutation (diagnosis or carrier), negative, or variant of uncertain significance. Genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation.
Is the test painful?
The test involves a standard blood draw, which may cause minor discomfort but is generally not painful.
Can this test diagnose other types of Wolfram Syndrome?
This test specifically targets Wolfram Syndrome Type 2 via the CISD2 gene. Other types may require different genetic tests.
Is genetic counseling necessary?
Yes, genetic counseling is strongly recommended before and after testing to understand implications and results.
What if I am a carrier?
If you are a carrier, you may not show symptoms but can pass the mutation to offspring. Genetic counseling can help with family planning.
Are there any risks to the test?
Risks are minimal, mainly related to blood draw. Psychological impact of results is possible, so counseling is advised.
