Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the IFT172 gene. A positive result confirms the diagnosis, while a negative result may require further testing.
📊

Positive (pathogenic variant detected)

Confirms diagnosis of Short-rib thoracic dysplasia type 10. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative (no pathogenic variant detected)

Does not rule out the condition; consider other genetic tests or clinical evaluation.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further analysis and family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms such as short stature, narrow chest, or polydactyly are present, or if there is a family history of skeletal dysplasias. Consult a geneticist or pediatric specialist for evaluation.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variants (e.g., deep intronic mutations)
  • Results require clinical correlation
  • Cannot predict disease severity or progression

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
  • Hemolyzed blood samples

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Short-rib thoracic dysplasia type 10?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by IFT172 gene mutations, affecting bone growth and cilia function, leading to skeletal abnormalities and other symptoms.
How is the IFT172 gene test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the DNA sequence of the IFT172 gene from a blood or DNA sample.
What is the cost of this genetic test in India?
The cost is INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across numerous cities in India.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What are the common symptoms of this condition?
Symptoms include short stature, narrow chest, spinal curvature, polydactyly, respiratory issues, heart defects, and kidney abnormalities.
Who should consider getting this genetic test?
Individuals with symptoms of skeletal dysplasia, a family history of the condition, or those recommended by a healthcare provider.
Is genetic counseling required before the test?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is recommended to understand the test implications and draw a family pedigree chart.
What does a positive test result mean?
A positive result confirms the presence of pathogenic IFT172 gene mutations, diagnosing Short-rib thoracic dysplasia type 10.
Can this test detect all mutations in the IFT172 gene?
NGS is highly accurate but may not detect all types of variants, such as deep intronic mutations; clinical correlation is advised.
Is the test covered by insurance schemes like PMJAY or CGHS?
Coverage varies; it is recommended to check with the specific insurance provider for details.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test for this condition?
NGS is a reliable method for detecting gene mutations, with high sensitivity and specificity, but results should be interpreted by a geneticist.
