Understanding Your Results

Results of the CNTNAP4 gene NGS test indicate the presence or absence of mutations. Genetic counseling is recommended to interpret findings in the context of clinical symptoms and family history.
Positive: Pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutation detected in the CNTNAP4 gene, indicating increased risk for associated neurodevelopmental disorders.
Negative: No pathogenic variants found in the CNTNAP4 gene, suggesting low genetic risk based on this gene.
Inconclusive: Variant of unknown significance (VUS) identified, requiring further clinical evaluation and possible additional testing.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic specialist, neurologist, or healthcare provider if symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders are present, for family planning advice, or if a genetic mutation is detected in the family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CNTNAP4 gene?
The CNTNAP4 gene is located on chromosome 16q23.3 and encodes the CASPR4 protein, which is involved in myelin sheath formation and maintenance in the nervous system.
What neurodevelopmental disorders are linked to CNTNAP4 mutations?
Mutations in the CNTNAP4 gene have been associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia, epilepsy, dyslexia, and developmental delay.
What are the symptoms of CNTNAP4-related neurodevelopmental disorders?
Symptoms may include difficulty with social interaction, repetitive behaviors, inattention, hyperactivity, hallucinations, seizures, reading difficulties, and delayed milestones such as walking or talking.
How is CNTNAP4 neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, genetic testing (such as NGS), and sometimes imaging studies to assess symptoms and rule out other conditions.
What is NGS genetic testing?
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is an advanced genetic testing method that allows for the detection of mutations in multiple genes simultaneously, providing accurate diagnosis for genetic disorders.
What is the cost of the CNTNAP4 NGS Genetic Test?
The cost of the CNTNAP4 Gene NGS Genetic Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What sample is required for the test?
The test can be performed on a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across numerous cities in India.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders, a family history of CNTNAP4 mutations, or those seeking genetic diagnosis for conditions like autism, ADHD, or epilepsy should consider this test.
What are the limitations of the test?
The test detects mutations in the CNTNAP4 gene but may not identify all genetic causes of neurodevelopmental disorders. Variants of unknown significance may require further evaluation.
How can I book the test?
You can book the CNTNAP4 Gene NGS Genetic Test through DNA Labs India's online portal or by contacting their customer service for home sample collection or walk-in appointments.
