Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the FAN1 gene. A positive result confirms genetic predisposition to karyomegalic interstitial nephritis, while a negative result suggests no detected mutations, but does not rule out other causes.
📊

Positive for FAN1 mutation

Confirms diagnosis of karyomegalic interstitial nephritis. Genetic counseling and nephrology consultation recommended for management and family planning.

📊

Negative for FAN1 mutation

No pathogenic variants detected. Clinical correlation needed; other causes of interstitial nephritis should be investigated.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be required. Consult genetic counselor for guidance.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like decreased urine output, swelling, high blood pressure, or fatigue, especially with a family history of kidney disease. After receiving test results, seek guidance from a nephrologist or geneticist.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
  • Requires genetic counseling for proper interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings and other tests

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results; counseling provided

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
  • Improper sample collection or storage
  • Recent blood transfusion may affect results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FAN1 Gene Interstitial Nephritis Karyomegalic NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the FAN1 gene, which causes karyomegalic interstitial nephritis, a rare kidney disorder.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of kidney disease, family history of karyomegalic interstitial nephritis, or unexplained chronic kidney issues should consider this test.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample or DNA extract is analyzed using NGS technology to identify mutations in the FAN1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000 in India, with free home sample collection available across many cities.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is the test accurate?
Yes, NGS technology provides highly accurate and reliable results for detecting genetic mutations.
What are the symptoms of karyomegalic interstitial nephritis?
Symptoms include decreased urine output, swelling in legs and ankles, high blood pressure, fatigue, shortness of breath, weight gain, and nausea.
How is karyomegalic interstitial nephritis inherited?
It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning both parents must carry the mutated gene for a child to be affected.
Can this test help with family planning?
Yes, knowing your genetic status can inform family planning decisions and help prevent transmission to future generations.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across India.
What should I do after receiving a positive result?
Consult a nephrologist or geneticist for further evaluation, management, and genetic counseling.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic counseling is provided to address any psychological concerns.
