Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the FLNC gene associated with filaminopathy.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected in FLNC gene, consistent with diagnosis of filaminopathy.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant detected; does not rule out other genetic causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown; further testing or family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If experiencing symptoms like unexplained muscle weakness, heart issues, or with a family history of genetic disorders, consult a geneticist or neurologist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FLNC gene filaminopathy?
FLNC gene filaminopathy is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FLNC gene, leading to skeletal and cardiac muscle problems due to defective filamin C protein.
What are the common symptoms of this condition?
Common symptoms include muscle weakness and wasting, difficulty walking, heart issues like arrhythmias or cardiomyopathy, breathing difficulties, and scoliosis.
How is FLNC gene filaminopathy diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves physical examination, family history assessment, and genetic testing using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify mutations in the FLNC gene.
What is the cost of the NGS Genetic Test at DNA Labs India?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection in numerous cities nationwide for online bookings.
How long does it take to receive test results?
Reports are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What sample type is required for the test?
The test can be performed on blood samples, 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.
Who should consider getting tested for FLNC gene filaminopathy?
Individuals with symptoms such as muscle weakness, heart problems, or a family history of the condition should consider genetic testing.
What does a positive test result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic variant in the FLNC gene has been detected, confirming a diagnosis of filaminopathy and guiding treatment.
Can this test detect all possible FLNC gene mutations?
While NGS is comprehensive, it may not detect all mutations; results should be interpreted by a genetic counselor for accuracy.
How should I prepare for the test?
Prepare by providing your clinical history and attending a genetic counseling session before sample collection to ensure accurate interpretation.
