Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the COL11A1 gene. A positive result confirms a diagnosis of Fibrochondrogenesis type 1, while a negative result may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Fibrochondrogenesis type 1. Genetic counseling and management planning recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Fibrochondrogenesis type 1 unlikely based on this gene. Consider other genetic or clinical causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or pediatric specialist if symptoms persist, worsen, or if there is a family history of skeletal disorders.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or mosaicism
  • Requires clinical correlation for diagnosis
  • Genetic counseling is recommended for result interpretation

Risks & Considerations

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

Interfering Factors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fibrochondrogenesis type 1?
Fibrochondrogenesis type 1 is a rare genetic disorder that affects bone and cartilage development, caused by mutations in the COL11A1 gene.
Who should get this genetic test?
This test is recommended for individuals, especially children, showing symptoms like short stature, joint stiffness, bowed legs, or facial abnormalities suggestive of Fibrochondrogenesis type 1.
How is the test performed?
The test involves collecting a blood sample or extracted DNA, which is then analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect mutations in the COL11A1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost of the COL11A1 Gene Fibrochondrogenesis type 1 NGS Genetic Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test 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 does a positive result mean?
A positive result confirms the presence of a pathogenic mutation in the COL11A1 gene, indicating a diagnosis of Fibrochondrogenesis type 1.
Is genetic counseling included?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is included to help interpret results 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. There are no significant genetic risks.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This test is primarily for postnatal diagnosis. For prenatal testing, consult a genetic specialist for appropriate options.
What if the test result is negative?
A negative result suggests no pathogenic variants in the COL11A1 gene, but clinical evaluation may be needed to rule out other conditions.
How accurate is this genetic test?
The test uses advanced NGS technology with high accuracy for detecting mutations in the COL11A1 gene, but results should be correlated with clinical findings.
