Method
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), Sanger confirmation for detected variants
Step 1

Sample Collection

No fasting is required. A genetic counselling session is recommended to document the family history and draw a three-generation pedigree chart. Please bring available clinical records, neuroimaging reports, and prior genetic testing results.

Method: Peripheral blood draw or dried blood spot on FTA card

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

A peripheral blood sample will be collected in an EDTA vacutainer. If an FTA card is used, one drop of blood will be placed on the designated circle. The process usually takes only a few minutes.

Step 3

Report Delivery

There are no post-test restrictions. The collected sample is transported to the laboratory at room temperature. The report will be released in 3 to 4 weeks.

Timeline: Reports are released in 3 to 4 weeks after receipt of the sample.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:No fasting is required. A genetic counselling session is recommended to document the family history and draw a three-generation pedigree chart. Please bring available clinical records, neuroimaging reports, and prior genetic testing results.
2
During the Test:A trained phlebotomist will collect a blood sample or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The procedure generally takes 5 to 10 minutes.
3
After the Test:You may resume routine activities immediately. The sample will be transported to the laboratory for NGS analysis. Reports will be shared after 3 to 4 weeks.

About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

To confirm or rule out a pathogenic variant in the IGBP1 gene in a person with clinical features suggestive of corpor callosum agenesis with intellectual disability, ocular coloboma and micrognathia. It aids in diagnosis, management, genetic counselling, and recurrence-risk assessment.

How to Prepare

  • No fasting is required
  • EDTA blood or FTA card should be used
  • Ensure the sample is clearly labelled with the patient's name and date of birth
  • Carry the completed requisition form and patient ID
  • For FTA cards, let the blood spot air-dry completely before packing

Doctor's Notes

Reviewed by — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532

"The clinical presentation of agenesis of the corpus callosum with intellectual disability and ocular coloboma overlaps with several genetic syndromes. A precise molecular test is essential for accurate genetic counselling and reproductive planning."

Understanding Your Results

This test is intended to detect nucleotide variants in the IGBP1 gene. All variants are classified according to ACMG/AMP guidelines. Results should be interpreted by a clinical geneticist in the context of the patient's clinical presentation, radiological findings, family history, and post-test genetic counselling.
📊

Pathogenic variant identified

Molecularly confirmed IGBP1-related disorder; suitable for targeted familial variant testing and reproductive counselling.

📊

Likely pathogenic variant identified

High likelihood of disease causation; further family segregation studies are recommended to confirm.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance reported

Insufficient evidence to classify the variant as pathogenic or benign; additional testing of family members may help.

📊

No pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant identified

Does not exclude a genetic cause; further comprehensive testing or reanalysis may be considered.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

You should consult a clinical geneticist or neurologist if the child has unexplained corpus callosum abnormality, developmental delay, epilepsy, coloboma, micrognathia, or if the genetic test report shows a variant requiring interpretation.

Limitations

  • This single-gene test does not analyse other genes implicated in corpus callosum agenesis
  • Large structural variants such as whole-gene deletions or duplications may not be detected
  • Deep intronic variants and regulatory variants may be missed
  • A variant of uncertain significance may be reported and require further family studies

Risks & Considerations

  • Mild bruising at the puncture site
  • Slight pain during blood collection
  • Very rare risk of bleeding or infection from the venipuncture site

Interfering Factors

  • Poor DNA quality or low DNA quantity
  • Contamination during sample collection
  • Recent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
  • Maternal cell contamination in blood samples from infants

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IGBP1 gene NGS genetic test?
It is a targeted next-generation sequencing test used to identify variants in the IGBP1 gene associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum, intellectual disability, ocular coloboma and micrognathia.
Who should get this test?
This test is useful for individuals with unexplained agenesis or hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, intellectual disability or global developmental delay, ocular coloboma, micrognathia, seizures, hypotonia, or a family history of an IGBP1-related disorder.
Is fasting required before the IGBP1 gene test?
No fasting is required. Patients can eat and drink normally before sample collection.
What sample is needed for this NGS genetic test?
The test can be performed on blood in an EDTA tube, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood spotted on an FTA card.
What is the cost of the IGBP1 gene NGS genetic test at DNA Labs India?
The test costs Rs 20,000. Free home sample collection is available for online bookings across multiple cities in India.
How long does the IGBP1 gene NGS test report take?
The report is usually available in 3 to 4 weeks after the sample reaches the laboratory.
What is Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)?
NGS is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that can read multiple gene regions simultaneously, allowing detection of small sequence variants in a single test.
Does this test detect all causes of corpus callosum agenesis?
No. This is a single-gene test for IGBP1. Other monogenic, chromosomal or structural causes may require broader genetic tests such as multigene panels, exome sequencing or chromosomal microarray.
What does a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) mean?
A VUS is a genetic change whose effect on health is not yet known. Additional family testing and clinical correlation may be required before the result can be used for diagnosis.
Can a negative IGBP1 gene test exclude the condition?
A negative result makes an IGBP1 sequence variant less likely, but it does not completely exclude the condition because NGS may not detect all variant types or regulatory changes.
Does DNA Labs India provide raw data with the genetic test report?
Yes. DNA Labs India shares raw data, FASTQ, and VCF files along with the clinical report to ensure transparency.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This is not a prenatal diagnostic test. If prenatal testing is required, a clinical geneticist or obstetrician should be consulted for the appropriate invasive or non-invasive testing pathway.
