Understanding Your Results

Test results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the GATA6 gene associated with Atrial Septal Defect Type 9.
Positive result: Pathogenic mutation detected, confirming ASD9 diagnosis and guiding management
Negative result: No mutation detected, but clinical correlation and further testing may be needed
Variant of uncertain significance: Requires additional family studies or functional analysis for clarification
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of ASD9 are present, such as shortness of breath or fatigue, or if there is a family history of congenital heart defects, consult a cardiologist or geneticist.

Limitations

  • ⚠Cannot detect all possible mutations in the GATA6 gene
  • ⚠May identify variants of uncertain significance requiring further study
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for accurate interpretation

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results, requiring counseling support

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality or hemolysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GATA6 Gene Atrial Septal Defect Type 9 NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the GATA6 gene for mutations causing Atrial Septal Defect Type 9, a congenital heart defect.
How is ASD9 diagnosed?
ASD9 is diagnosed through clinical tests like echocardiograms and confirmed with genetic testing using NGS to detect GATA6 gene mutations.
What are the symptoms of ASD9?
Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, frequent respiratory infections, irritability, poor weight gain, heart palpitations, and cyanosis.
How much does the test cost?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, including NGS analysis, genetic counseling, and result interpretation.
What sample is required for the test?
A blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card is required.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is genetic testing necessary for ASD9?
Genetic testing is recommended for definitive diagnosis, especially if there is a family history or clinical suspicion of ASD9.
Can ASD9 be inherited?
Yes, ASD9 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning one mutated copy of the GATA6 gene can cause the condition.
What is the role of the GATA6 gene?
The GATA6 gene provides instructions for making a protein essential for the development of the heart and other organs.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising, and potential psychological impact, which is mitigated through genetic counseling.
How do I prepare for the test?
No fasting is required. Provide clinical history and attend a genetic counseling session before sample collection.
What should I do after receiving the test results?
Consult a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to understand the results and discuss management options.
