Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the HR gene. Interpretation should be done by a qualified geneticist considering clinical symptoms and family history.
📊

Normal

No pathogenic variants detected in the HR gene; Atrichia with Papular Lesions unlikely due to HR gene mutations.

Action: Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes; consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

📊

Abnormal

Pathogenic variants identified in the HR gene, confirming diagnosis of Atrichia with Papular Lesions.

Action: Refer for genetic counseling, family screening, and management options; discuss with a dermatologist or geneticist.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience persistent hair loss, skin papules, or other related symptoms, especially with a family history of genetic disorders. Early consultation can aid in diagnosis and management.

Symptoms include hair loss on scalp and body, small itchy or painful skin bumps, red scaly patches, thickened skin on palms and soles, and nail abnormalities.
How is the HR Gene Atrichia with Papular Lesions diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, specifically the NGS Genetic Test that analyzes the HR gene for mutations from a blood or DNA sample.
What does the NGS Genetic Test involve?
It involves Next-Generation Sequencing to examine the HR gene for pathogenic variants, requiring a simple blood draw or DNA sample.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What is the cost of the HR Gene Atrichia with Papular Lesions NGS Genetic Test?
The test costs INR 20000, which includes sample collection, analysis, and report generation with home collection available across India.

Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What should I do before getting tested?
It is recommended to provide clinical history and undergo a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members.
How accurate is the NGS Genetic Test?
The test is highly accurate for detecting HR gene mutations, but results should be interpreted by a geneticist in context of clinical findings.
Can this test be used for family planning purposes?
Yes, identifying HR gene mutations can inform genetic counseling and family planning decisions, especially for carriers or affected individuals.
What if my test results are abnormal?
If pathogenic variants are detected, consult a healthcare provider or geneticist for management options, family screening, and supportive care.
