Overview
The purpose of this NGS genetic test is to detect clinically significant variants in the KIF1A gene that are known to cause hereditary sensory neuropathy type IIC. It is used to confirm a suspected diagnosis, aid in differential diagnosis, and provide clarity for genetic counselling and family planning.

- 4133
- Price
- ₹20,000
- Sample Type
- Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Result Time
- Reports are usually released within 3 to 4 weeks after sample receipt.

- No
- Method
- Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Sample Collection
No fasting is required. Please carry previous prescriptions, imaging reports, and family history details. A genetic counselling session to draw a pedigree chart should be completed before the test.
Method: Venipuncture / FTA card spot / extracted DNA submission
Laboratory Analysis
A trained phlebotomist will collect a small amount of blood from the arm or a drop of blood on an FTA card. The procedure takes only a few minutes.
Report Delivery
There are no restrictions after sample collection. You can resume normal activities immediately.
Timeline: Reports are usually released within 3 to 4 weeks after sample receipt.

It is used to confirm a suspected diagnosis, aid in differential diagnosis, and provide clarity for genetic counselling and family planning.
How to Prepare
- Appointment confirmation is required for home sample collection
- Blood sample should be collected in an EDTA vacutainer for blood-based testing
- If using an FTA card, apply only one drop of blood to the marked circle
- Patient name, date of birth, and identity must be verified before collection
- Do not submit samples for multiple patients using the same form
Doctor's Notes
Reviewed by Dr SULOCHANA HEMCHANDRA HOLLA — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532
"Genetic counselling and accurate family history are essential before ordering a KIF1A NGS test. In hereditary neuropathies, the choice of gene panel must be guided by clinical presentation and neurological evaluation."

Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected in KIF1A
Confirms the molecular diagnosis of HSN2C; post-test genetic counselling is recommended.
Variant of uncertain significance detected
Cannot confirm or exclude HSN2C; familial segregation analysis may be helpful.
No pathogenic variant detected
HSN2C is less likely but other hereditary neuropathies cannot be ruled out; clinical correlation is required.
Consult your referring doctor or genetic specialist if you have symptoms of sensory neuropathy, if HSN2C is suspected, or after receiving results to discuss management and family implications.
Limitations
- ⚠Standard NGS analysis may not detect all large structural rearrangements, deep intronic variants, or repeat expansions
- ⚠A variant of uncertain significance does not always indicate disease
- ⚠A negative result does not completely exclude all hereditary sensory neuropathies
- ⚠Results must be interpreted with family history and clinical findings
- ⚠Molecular genetic testing does not predict disease severity or progression
Risks & Considerations
- ●Small risk of bruising, bleeding, or infection at the blood collection site
- ●Venipuncture may cause transient discomfort
- ●Genetic results may have meaningful implications for family members and should be discussed with a healthcare provider
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor DNA quality or degradation
- ●Sample mix-up or mislabelling
- ●Low NGS coverage across certain KIF1A exons
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Incomplete clinical information for variant interpretation
