Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IARS2 gene test?
The IARS2 gene test is a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test that detects mutations in the IARS2 gene, which is associated with conditions like cataracts, growth hormone deficiency, sensory neuropathy, sensorineural hearing loss, and skeletal dysplasia.
Why is the IARS2 gene test important?
It helps diagnose the underlying genetic cause of symptoms, enabling personalized treatment plans and genetic counseling for affected individuals and families.
What symptoms indicate the need for this test?
Symptoms such as cataracts, short stature, delayed puberty, numbness or tingling in extremities, hearing loss, and abnormal bone growth may indicate the need for testing.
How is the IARS2 gene test performed?
The test is performed using a small blood, saliva, or extracted DNA sample. The DNA is sequenced using NGS technology to identify mutations.
What is the cost of the IARS2 gene test?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes sample collection, sequencing, and result analysis.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What do the results mean?
Positive results indicate the presence of pathogenic mutations in the IARS2 gene, confirming a diagnosis. Negative results mean no mutations were detected, but symptoms may be due to other causes.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks, such as minor bruising from blood draw. There are no significant health risks.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This test is primarily for diagnostic purposes in symptomatic individuals. For prenatal testing, consult a genetic counselor for appropriate options.
How accurate is the IARS2 gene test?
NGS technology provides high accuracy in detecting genetic mutations, but interpretation should be done by qualified professionals.
What should I do after receiving the results?
Discuss the results with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to understand implications and plan management or treatment.
