Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CRB2 Gene Ventriculomegaly with Cystic Kidney Disease NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the CRB2 gene, which causes ventriculomegaly with cystic kidney disease.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms like enlarged brain ventricles, kidney cysts, high blood pressure, or a family history of the disorder.
What are the symptoms of ventriculomegaly with cystic kidney disease?
Symptoms include enlarged ventricles in the brain, cysts in the kidneys, high blood pressure, proteinuria, impaired kidney function, and developmental delays.
How is the test performed?
A blood or DNA sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to sequence the CRB2 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000 in India, with free home sample collection available.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result confirms the presence of a pathogenic CRB2 gene mutation, indicating the disorder.
What if the test is negative?
A negative result means no pathogenic variants were detected, but clinical correlation is needed as other causes may exist.
Is genetic counseling required?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to understand the implications.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw, but genetic results may have emotional implications.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting gene mutations, but no test is 100% foolproof; interpretation by a geneticist is essential.
