Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the ITGB6 gene. A positive result confirms a genetic cause for AI Type 1H, while a negative result may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 1H due to ITGB6 mutation. Genetic counseling and tailored dental management are recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected in ITGB6 gene. Clinical correlation is advised, as other genetic or environmental factors may be involved.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

A genetic variant was found but its clinical impact is unclear. Further testing or family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare provider if you or your child exhibit symptoms of Amelogenesis Imperfecta, such as discolored or weak teeth, or if there is a family history of the disorder.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible mutations in the ITGB6 gene.
  • Variants of uncertain significance may be identified, requiring further evaluation.
  • Test results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks associated with blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising.
  • No significant risks from the genetic test itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 1H?
Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 1H is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ITGB6 gene, leading to abnormal enamel formation and resulting in weak, discolored teeth.
What causes AI Type 1H?
It is caused by pathogenic mutations in the ITGB6 gene, which is involved in enamel development.
What are the symptoms of AI Type 1H?
Symptoms include yellow or brownish tooth discoloration, thin enamel that chips easily, sensitivity to temperature, and increased risk of cavities.
How is AI Type 1H diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a dental examination and genetic testing, such as the ITGB6 Gene NGS Test, to identify mutations.
What is the ITGB6 Gene NGS Genetic Test?
It is a Next Generation Sequencing test that analyzes the ITGB6 gene for mutations associated with Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 1H.
How much does the test cost?
The test costs INR 20000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available across India.
