Overview

The primary purpose of the Dysmorphology Panel NGS Genetic Test is to identify the genetic basis of physical abnormalities and developmental delays in individuals, especially children. By detecting pathogenic variants in genes associated with dysmorphology, this test enables accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for appropriate medical management, therapeutic interventions, and genetic counseling. It helps healthcare providers understand the underlying cause of symptoms, predict disease progression, and assess the risk of recurrence in families.

Step 1

Sample Collection

Patient should provide detailed clinical history and undergo genetic counseling to draw a pedigree chart of family members. No fasting required.

Method: Blood draw or Cheek swab

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

A blood sample or cheek swab will be collected by a trained phlebotomist. For blood, a venipuncture is performed; for cheek swab, cells are gently scraped from the inner cheek.

Step 3

Report Delivery

The sample is sent to the laboratory for DNA extraction and NGS analysis. Results are interpreted by a geneticist and reported within 3-4 weeks.

Timeline: 3-4 weeks

Understanding Your Results

Results from the Dysmorphology Panel NGS Genetic Test are analyzed to identify genetic variants associated with dysmorphology. Variants are classified based on their pathogenicity.
Pathogenic variants indicate a genetic cause for the symptoms.
Likely pathogenic variants suggest a probable genetic etiology.
Variants of uncertain significance require further evaluation.
Negative result does not completely rule out a genetic condition, as not all genes may be covered.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or pediatric specialist if the test reveals pathogenic variants, or if symptoms persist despite a negative result, for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants
  • Results require clinical correlation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
