Understanding Your Results

The results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the FBP1 gene associated with Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency.
Negative result: No pathogenic variants detected in the FBP1 gene. Clinical correlation is advised for persistent symptoms.
Positive result: Pathogenic variant(s) detected, confirming diagnosis of FBP1 deficiency. Genetic counseling and treatment planning are recommended.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): Further testing and clinical evaluation may be needed to determine significance.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, or other metabolic issues occur, or if there is a family history of FBP1 deficiency, consult a geneticist or healthcare provider immediately.

Limitations

  • May not detect all mutations in the FBP1 gene
  • Results should be interpreted in clinical context
  • Genetic counseling recommended for interpretation

Risks & Considerations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FBP1 Gene Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FBP1 gene, affecting the liver's ability to produce glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, leading to hypoglycemia and metabolic issues.
What are the symptoms of FBP1 deficiency?
Symptoms include hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, ketosis, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, seizures, and in severe cases, coma.
How is FBP1 deficiency diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, such as the NGS Genetic Test, which detects mutations in the FBP1 gene.
What is the cost of the FBP1 Gene NGS Genetic Test?
The test costs INR 20000 at DNA Labs India, with home sample collection available.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What treatment options are available for FBP1 deficiency?
Treatment may include a low-fructose diet, medications to control blood sugar, and in severe cases, liver transplantation.
Is genetic counseling recommended?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended for affected families to understand the condition, assess risks, and plan for the future.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
The NGS genetic test is highly accurate in detecting mutations in the FBP1 gene, but results should be interpreted by a qualified professional.
Who should get tested for FBP1 deficiency?
Individuals with a family history of FBP1 deficiency, unexplained hypoglycemia, or symptoms suggestive of metabolic disorders should consider testing.
