- Price
- ₹20,000
- Sample Type
- Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Result Time

Sample Collection
Genetic counseling session recommended to discuss test implications and family history. Provide clinical history of the patient going for the test.
Method: Venipuncture
Laboratory Analysis
A blood sample is drawn via venipuncture from a vein in the arm. Alternatively, extracted DNA or a blood drop on FTA card can be used.
Report Delivery
The sample is labeled, stored appropriately, and sent to the laboratory for NGS analysis. Follow standard post-venipuncture care.
Timeline: 3 to 4 Weeks

How to Prepare
- Ensure proper patient identification and sample labeling
- Use aseptic technique to avoid contamination
- For blood samples, avoid hemolysis by gentle mixing
- Store samples at ambient room temperature or as specified
- For FTA cards, follow specific instructions for blood application
Doctor's Notes
Reviewed by Dr SULOCHANA HEMCHANDRA HOLLA — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532
"Genetic testing for Fanconi Anemia Type G is essential for early diagnosis, management, and informed family planning, especially for individuals with a family history or symptoms of bone marrow failure."

Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of Fanconi Anemia Type G; recommend genetic counseling and clinical management
No pathogenic variant detected
Fanconi Anemia Type G unlikely but not excluded if symptoms persist; consider testing for other Fanconi genes
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Genetic counseling recommended; further family studies or functional assays may be needed
Carrier status identified
Individual carries one mutant allele; risk assessment for offspring and family advised
Consult a doctor if test results are positive, if symptoms persist despite negative results, for interpretation of variants of uncertain significance, or for personalized management and family planning.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of genetic variations (e.g., large deletions or deep intronic mutations)
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or medical professional
- ⚠Does not assess other genes involved in Fanconi anemia unless specified
- ⚠False negatives are possible in rare cases
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw: pain, bruising, or infection at puncture site
- ●Psychological impact from results; genetic counseling recommended
Interfering Factors
- ●Contaminated or degraded DNA samples
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
- ●Incorrect sample storage conditions
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis
