Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the DSG2 gene. Positive findings confirm genetic predisposition to ARVC type 10, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms genetic diagnosis of ARVC type 10; family screening recommended.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and clinical correlation needed.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Reduces likelihood of DSG2-related ARVC, but does not exclude other genetic causes.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms like palpitations or fainting, have a family history of ARVC, or receive a positive genetic test result.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor
  • ⚠Does not rule out other causes of ARVC

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Degraded DNA
  • ●Hemolyzed blood sample

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ARVC type 10?
ARVC type 10 is a genetic heart disorder caused by mutations in the DSG2 gene, leading to abnormal heart rhythms and muscle tissue replacement.
Who should consider this genetic test?
Individuals with symptoms of ARVC, family history of the condition, or those diagnosed with unexplained cardiac issues.
How is the test performed?
It uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from a blood or saliva sample for DSG2 gene mutations.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available in many cities.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do positive results mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic DSG2 mutation, confirming genetic predisposition to ARVC type 10 and guiding family screening.
Can this test be used for family screening?
Yes, it is recommended for at-risk family members to identify carriers and enable early intervention.
What are the limitations of the test?
It may not detect all genetic variants, and results should be interpreted alongside clinical findings by a specialist.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home collection is offered for online bookings across India, including major cities.
What should I do after receiving results?
Consult a genetic counselor or cardiologist to discuss implications, management, and potential lifestyle changes.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies; check with your insurance provider or government schemes like PMJAY for details.
