Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the IDS gene. Consult a genetic specialist for detailed interpretation.
Normal: No pathogenic variants detected; low risk for MPS II
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected; confirms diagnosis of MPS II
Variant of Uncertain Significance: Further testing or clinical correlation may be needed
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If test results are positive or show variants of uncertain significance, consult a genetic counselor or specialist for management and family planning.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
  • Cannot predict disease severity or progression
  • Requires confirmation through clinical evaluation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor pain or bruising at the blood draw site
  • Rare risk of infection

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA
  • Contamination during sample collection or processing
  • Recent blood transfusions may affect results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mucopolysaccharidosis type 2?
Mucopolysaccharidosis type 2 (MPS II), or Hunter syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by deficiency of iduronate 2-sulfatase enzyme, leading to buildup of glycosaminoglycans.
What causes MPS II?
MPS II is caused by mutations in the IDS gene, which is responsible for producing the iduronate 2-sulfatase enzyme.
What are the symptoms of MPS II?
Common symptoms include coarse facial features, enlarged tongue, liver and spleen enlargement, joint stiffness, developmental delays, and recurrent ear infections.
How is MPS II diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, enzyme assays, and genetic testing to detect mutations in the IDS gene.
What is the IDS Gene NGS Genetic Test?
It is a Next-Generation Sequencing test that analyzes the IDS gene for mutations to diagnose MPS II.
How accurate is the test?
The test is highly accurate for detecting mutations in the IDS gene, but accuracy depends on sample quality and test methodology.
What sample is required for the test?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card can be used.
Is fasting required for the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3-4 weeks after sample collection.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes sample collection and analysis.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across many cities in India.
How do I interpret the test results?
Consult a genetic counselor or healthcare provider to understand the results and implications for diagnosis and management.
