Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether pathogenic variants in the IRAK4 gene are detected. A positive result confirms IRAK4 deficiency, while a negative result suggests no mutations found, but clinical correlation is essential.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variants

Confirms diagnosis of IRAK4 deficiency. Consult a specialist for management.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variants

No mutations detected in IRAK4 gene. Consider other causes if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience recurrent infections, have a family history of immunodeficiency, or receive a positive test result for appropriate management and genetic counseling.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or deep intronic variants
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

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

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Incorrect sample collection or storage

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IRAK4 deficiency?
IRAK4 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the IRAK4 gene, leading to a weakened immune system and increased susceptibility to bacterial infections.
What are the common symptoms of IRAK4 deficiency?
Symptoms include recurrent bacterial infections (respiratory, skin, ears), fever, chronic diarrhea, failure to thrive, enlarged lymph nodes, and recurrent abscesses.
How is IRAK4 deficiency diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect mutations in the IRAK4 gene, often supplemented with blood tests for immune function.
What is the cost of the IRAK4 deficiency genetic test in India?
The cost is approximately INR 20,000, which includes sample collection, NGS testing, and a clinical report.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Genetic testing for IRAK4 deficiency may not be covered by insurance; individuals often pay out of pocket. Check with your insurance provider for details.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What are the risks of the genetic test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic results may have psychological implications, so counseling is advised.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test for IRAK4 deficiency?
NGS technology provides high accuracy in detecting mutations, but results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings by a genetic specialist.
Can children be tested for IRAK4 deficiency?
Yes, the test is suitable for all ages, including children, especially if they show symptoms or have a family history.
What should I do if I have a family history of IRAK4 deficiency?
