About This Test
Who Should Get This Test
To identify pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the FCRL6 gene in individuals with autism or a family history suggestive of FCRL6-related neurodevelopmental disorder.
How to Prepare
- Please bring the filled test requisition form and your clinical history.
- A prior genetic counselling session is mandatory for FCRL6 gene testing.
- If you are on blood thinners, inform the phlebotomist.
Doctor's Notes
Reviewed by Dr SULOCHANA HEMCHANDRA HOLLA — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532
"Genetic testing for autism-related gene variants such as FCRL6 is important for families seeking a clear etiological explanation. As a gynecologist, I often discuss recurrence risks and prenatal options with couples when a genetic contribution is suspected."

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Haemolysed blood sample
- Sample without proper labelling
- Incomplete clinical history and missing consent
- Sample in heparin tube (not suitable for NGS)
Understanding Your Results
Positive (Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic variant)
Confirms a genetic contribution to autism risk; genetic counselling recommended.
Negative (No variant)
Does not identify FCRL6-related genetic cause; other causes may be considered.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Insufficient evidence to determine clinical significance; family study may be advised.
If your child exhibits signs of autism such as absence of babbling by 12 months, no single words by 16 months, or no two-word phrases by 24 months, consult your paediatrician or child neurologist promptly.
Limitations
- ⚠This test is focused solely on the FCRL6 gene and does not exclude other genetic or environmental causes of autism.
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance may require additional family studies.
- ⚠Not intended for prenatal diagnosis unless specifically requested.
- ⚠Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical history and developmental assessment.
Risks & Considerations
- ●No significant risks associated with blood draw.
- ●Minor bruising or pain at the puncture site may occur.
- ●Rare risk of syncope (fainting) during blood collection.
Interfering Factors
- ●Maternal cell contamination
- ●Recent blood transfusion
- ●Bone marrow transplantation
- ●Extremely degraded DNA sample
