Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the DNAH11 gene. Positive results confirm PCD type 7 diagnosis, while negative results may require further testing.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of PCD type 7. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

PCD type 7 unlikely, but clinical correlation needed. Consider other genetic tests.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further analysis or family studies may be required.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms persist despite negative results, or for genetic counseling and family planning after a positive diagnosis.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all types of mutations (e.g., large deletions)
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • ⚠Results may be inconclusive in some cases

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • ●No significant risks from buccal swab

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination

Frequently Asked Questions

What is primary ciliary dyskinesia type 7?
PCD type 7 is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the DNAH11 gene, leading to impaired cilia function and chronic respiratory issues.
What are the symptoms of PCD type 7?
Symptoms include chronic sinusitis, bronchitis, otitis media, recurrent pneumonia, middle ear infections, male infertility, and rarely situs inversus.
How is the DNAH11 gene test performed?
The test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from a blood or buccal swab sample for mutations in the DNAH11 gene.
What is the cost of the DNAH11 gene test?
The test costs INR 20,000, 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 after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in numerous cities across India.
What sample types are accepted?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card are accepted sample types.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result confirms a diagnosis of PCD type 7 due to DNAH11 gene mutations, guiding treatment and genetic counseling.
Can this test detect all mutations?
While NGS is comprehensive, it may not detect all mutation types, such as large deletions; further testing might be needed.
Is genetic counseling recommended?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to understand results and implications for family planning.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the insurance provider; it is not typically covered under government schemes like PMJAY or CGHS.
