How is the NGS Genetic Test for F13B deficiency performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing technology to analyze the F13B gene from a blood sample, detecting mutations with high accuracy.
What are the symptoms of Factor XIIIB Deficiency?
Symptoms include easy bruising, prolonged bleeding, heavy menstrual periods, nosebleeds, and internal bleeding in organs like the brain or gut.
Why is genetic testing recommended for this condition?
Genetic testing confirms the diagnosis, helps assess family risk, guides treatment decisions, and enables genetic counseling for affected families.
What type of sample is required for the test?
A blood sample or extracted DNA is needed. One drop of blood on an FTA card can also be used.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.

The test costs INR 20,000, which includes sample collection and analysis.
How accurate is the NGS Genetic Test?
NGS technology is highly accurate and can detect even small genetic mutations, providing reliable results for diagnosis.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
While the test is for genetic analysis, prenatal diagnosis may be possible through other methods like chorionic villus sampling, but consult a geneticist.
What should I do if I have a family history of bleeding disorders?
Consider genetic testing for early detection and management. Consult a hematologist or genetic counselor for advice.
Are there any risks associated with the genetic test?
