Understanding Your Results

Results from the IFNGR2 Gene NGS Genetic Test indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations. Interpretation should be done by a genetic specialist in correlation with clinical findings.
If pathogenic mutations are detected, it suggests susceptibility to atypical mycobacterial infections and confirms MSMD
Negative results indicate no mutations found in the IFNGR2 gene, but do not rule out other genetic causes
Consult a genetic counselor for family screening and implications
Results can guide treatment options, such as targeted immunotherapies
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms like fever, weight loss, fatigue, cough, skin lesions, or swollen lymph nodes persist for weeks or months, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, consult a doctor immediately.

Limitations

  • Test is specific to the IFNGR2 gene and may not detect mutations in other genes associated with immunodeficiency
  • Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
  • Turnaround time may vary based on laboratory workload

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or discomfort at the blood draw site
  • Very low risk of infection at puncture site
  • Psychological impact of genetic testing results

Interfering Factors

  • Low-quality or degraded DNA samples
  • Contamination during sample collection or processing
  • Insufficient sample volume

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFNGR2 Gene Atypical Mycobacterial Infection NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the IFNGR2 gene, which can cause susceptibility to atypical mycobacterial infections.
Who should get this test?
Individuals with recurrent atypical mycobacterial infections, family history of immunodeficiency, or chronic symptoms like fever and weight loss without clear cause.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to identify mutations in the IFNGR2 gene.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The cost is INR 20,000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in many cities across India.
What is the turnaround time for results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
How accurate is the test?
The test uses advanced NGS technology with high accuracy for detecting mutations, but results should be interpreted by a genetic specialist.
What are the symptoms of atypical mycobacterial infection?
Common symptoms include fever, weight loss, fatigue, cough, skin lesions, and swollen lymph nodes.
Can this test detect other genes involved in immunodeficiency?
No, this test is specific to the IFNGR2 gene. For broader analysis, consider tests like whole exome sequencing.
Is genetic counseling required before testing?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended to discuss implications, draw a pedigree chart, and understand results.
How are the results interpreted?
Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the IFNGR2 gene. A genetic counselor or specialist will explain the clinical significance.
What are the treatment options if mutations are found?
Treatment may include targeted therapies such as interferon-gamma therapy, antibiotics, and supportive care based on genetic findings.
