Understanding Your Results

Interpretation of the CP Gene Cerebellar Ataxia NGS Genetic Test results involves assessing the presence of pathogenic variants in the CP gene. A negative result indicates no detectable mutations, while a positive result confirms genetic predisposition. Clinical correlation is essential for accurate diagnosis.
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected – confirms genetic cause, recommend clinical evaluation
Negative: No pathogenic variant – but does not rule out other genetic causes
Variant of uncertain significance – may require further testing or family studies
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or neurologist if results are positive or if symptoms persist, for comprehensive management and family planning advice.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all types of CP gene mutations
  • ⚠Results require clinical correlation
  • ⚠Not suitable for prenatal diagnosis without additional counseling

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Potential psychological impact from genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality
  • ●Contamination during collection
  • ●Previous blood transfusions within 4 weeks

What is CP Gene Cerebellar Ataxia?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CP gene, affecting the nervous system and leading to movement and coordination problems.
What does the NGS Genetic Test involve?
The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze DNA from blood or saliva samples, detecting mutations in the CP gene.
What are the common symptoms?
Symptoms include difficulty with movement, balance, speech, tremors, and muscle weakness, often appearing in childhood or early adulthood.
How is the test performed?
A blood or saliva sample is collected and sent to the lab for NGS analysis, with results available in 3-4 weeks.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20000, which includes sample collection and genetic counseling.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home collection is offered in many cities across India for online bookings.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How accurate is the test?
The test is highly accurate using NGS technology, but results should be correlated with clinical findings.
What if the test is positive?
A positive result indicates a genetic mutation; consult a geneticist for further evaluation and management options.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
