Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypomagnesemia type 2?
Hypomagnesemia type 2 is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FXYD2 gene, leading to low magnesium levels and symptoms like muscle cramps and seizures.
How is the test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from blood or FTA card samples for mutations in the FXYD2 gene.
What are the symptoms of hypomagnesemia type 2?
Symptoms include muscle cramps, seizures, irregular heartbeats, weakness, tremors, and numbness or tingling in hands and feet.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of hypomagnesemia or a family history of the condition should consider genetic testing.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000, which includes sample collection, genetic analysis, and reporting.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across India for this test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the FXYD2 gene, confirming hypomagnesemia type 2 diagnosis.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising, but genetic testing may have psychological implications.
Can the test detect all mutations?
While highly accurate, NGS may not detect very rare or structural variants; clinical correlation is advised.
Is genetic counseling provided?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is included to discuss results and family implications.
How do I prepare for the test?
No fasting is required. Provide clinical history and attend the genetic counseling session before sample collection.
