Frequently Asked Questions

What is Buschke-Ollendorff Syndrome?
Buschke-Ollendorff Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skin lesions (connective tissue nevi) and bone abnormalities (osteopoikilosis), caused by mutations in the LEMD3 gene.
What causes Buschke-Ollendorff Syndrome?
It is caused by mutations in the LEMD3 gene, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
How is the LEMD3 Gene Test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the LEMD3 gene from a blood sample or extracted DNA.
What are the symptoms of Buschke-Ollendorff Syndrome?
Symptoms include multiple connective tissue nevi, osteopoikilosis, nail and teeth abnormalities, and benign tumors such as in the breast.
Who should get this genetic test?
Individuals with symptoms of the syndrome, family history, or clinical suspicion by a dermatologist or geneticist.

Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks.
What do the test results mean?
Positive results indicate pathogenic variants in the LEMD3 gene, confirming diagnosis. Negative results may require further clinical correlation.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
It is primarily for postnatal diagnosis; prenatal testing may require consultation with a genetic specialist.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, such as slight discomfort from blood draw, but genetic results may have psychological implications.
