Patient Instructions
About This Test
Who Should Get This Test
This test is intended to detect mutations in the CTC1 gene and other genes associated with Coat plus syndrome. It uses NGS technology to identify pathogenic variants, which helps confirm the clinical diagnosis, guide treatment strategies, and facilitate genetic counselling for the patient and family.
How to Prepare
- No fasting required.
- Blood should be collected in an EDTA vacutainer or as one drop of blood on an FTA card.
- If using FTA card, ensure the blood spot is thoroughly dry before storing.
- The sample should be labelled with the patient's name and date of birth.
Doctor's Notes
Reviewed by Dr SULOCHANA HEMCHANDRA HOLLA — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532
"Coat plus syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that can be suspected during pregnancy or early childhood. Genetic testing for the CTC1 gene mutation is essential for confirming the diagnosis, planning care, and providing informed genetic counselling to the family."

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Improperly labelled samples
- Blood sample collected in a non-approved tube
- Clotted or hemolyzed blood sample
- Samples without clinical history or requisition form
Understanding Your Results
Negative result. No disease-causing mutation was identified in the CTC1 gene or the associated panel genes. This does not completely rule out a genetic cause.
Positive result. A disease-causing mutation was identified. This confirms the genetic diagnosis and helps guide management.
A variant was found that is not yet classified as pathogenic or benign. Additional testing or family studies may be needed.
If you or your child experience symptoms suggestive of Coat plus syndrome (such as short stature, nail/skin abnormalities, hearing loss, anemia, or recurrent infections) or have a family history of telomere disorders, please consult a clinical geneticist or genetic counsellor.
Limitations
- ⚠The test detects mutations in the CTC1 gene and a defined set of associated genes; it does not rule out mutations in other genes.
- ⚠Variants of unknown significance may be reported and require further analysis.
- ⚠Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and family history.
Risks & Considerations
- ●There is very low risk associated with a blood draw. Minor bruising or discomfort at the puncture site may occur.
Interfering Factors
- ●Improper sample collection or handling can affect test quality.
- ●Contamination of the sample with other biological material may interfere with sequencing.
