Understanding Your Results

Results from the CR2 Gene Immunodeficiency NGS Genetic Test indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the CR2 gene. A positive result confirms a diagnosis of CVID7, while a negative result suggests no detectable mutations, but does not rule out other genetic causes.
📊

Positive for pathogenic CR2 mutation

Confirms diagnosis of common variable immunodeficiency type 7 (CVID7). Genetic counseling and immunological management recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic CR2 mutation

No detectable mutations in the CR2 gene. Clinical correlation and further testing may be needed if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Repeat testing or family studies may be advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience recurrent infections, chronic diarrhea, autoimmune symptoms, or have a family history of immunodeficiency. Also, seek genetic counseling after receiving test results for proper interpretation and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variants, such as large deletions or duplications
  • Requires genetic counseling for proper interpretation of results
  • Results should be correlated with clinical symptoms and family history

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection at the puncture site
  • Psychological impact of genetic results, requiring counseling support

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination during collection or processing
  • Degraded DNA due to improper storage or handling
  • Presence of inhibitors in the sample affecting sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CR2 gene immunodeficiency?
CR2 gene immunodeficiency, also known as common variable type 7 (CVID7), is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CR2 gene, leading to impaired immune function and recurrent infections.
What are the symptoms of CR2 gene immunodeficiency?
Symptoms include recurrent respiratory infections, chronic diarrhea, autoimmune disorders, enlarged spleen or liver, and low immunoglobulin levels.
How is CR2 gene immunodeficiency diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, specifically NGS analysis of the CR2 gene, along with clinical evaluation and immunological tests.
What is the cost of the CR2 Gene Immunodeficiency NGS Genetic Test?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from the date of sample receipt.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for the CR2 Gene Immunodeficiency NGS Genetic Test.
What sample types are accepted?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card are accepted sample types.
Can this test be done at home?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in many cities across India.
What does a positive test result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of a pathogenic mutation in the CR2 gene, confirming a diagnosis of CVID7. Genetic counseling and medical management are recommended.
What if the test result is negative?
