Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the EP300 gene associated with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of RTS; genetic counseling and management recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

RTS unlikely based on EP300 gene; consider other genetic tests if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome are present, such as distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, or broad thumbs and toes, or if there is a family history of RTS.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants; genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation.
  • Does not rule out other genetic disorders with overlapping symptoms.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection at the puncture site.

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome?
Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, broad thumbs and toes, and other physical abnormalities.
What causes Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome?
RTS is primarily caused by mutations in the EP300 or CREBBP genes, which are involved in gene regulation and protein function.
What is the EP300 gene?
The EP300 gene provides instructions for making the p300 protein, which plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression and is associated with RTS type 2.
How is Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, developmental assessment, and genetic testing such as NGS to identify mutations in the EP300 gene.
What is NGS genetic testing?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a powerful technology that sequences entire genes or genomes to detect genetic mutations with high accuracy.
What is the cost of the EP300 RTS NGS test?
The cost at DNA Labs India is INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Reports are typically delivered within 3-4 weeks via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
What are the symptoms of Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome?
Symptoms include distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, broad thumbs and toes, delayed speech, short stature, heart defects, and recurrent infections.
Can Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome be treated?
There is no cure for RTS, but management focuses on addressing symptoms through therapies, surgeries, and supportive care.
Is genetic counseling necessary before testing?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended to understand the test implications, interpret results, and provide family support.
How accurate is the NGS test for RTS?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting mutations in the EP300 gene, but genetic counseling is advised for comprehensive interpretation.
