Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the DNAI2 gene. A positive result confirms diagnosis of PCD type 9, while a negative result may require further testing.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of DNAI2 gene PCD type 9. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

PCD type 9 unlikely, but clinical correlation and additional tests may be needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further family studies or functional analysis required.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic specialist or pulmonologist if symptoms persist or if family history suggests PCD.

Limitations

  • ⚠NGS may not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • ⚠Test does not cover other PCD-related genes

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising at puncture site
  • ●Rare infection risk

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Degraded DNA
  • ●Incorrect sample storage

Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home collection is offered for online bookings in many cities across India.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result confirms a diagnosis of DNAI2 gene PCD type 9, guiding management and genetic counseling.
Can this test detect all mutations in the DNAI2 gene?
NGS is highly accurate but may not detect all mutation types, such as large structural variants.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with chronic respiratory symptoms, recurrent infections, or a family history of PCD.
Is genetic counseling recommended?
Yes, genetic counseling is advised before and after testing to discuss implications and family planning.
What are the risks of the test?
Risks are minimal, including minor bruising from blood draw. No significant health risks are associated with the test itself.
