Overview

The purpose of this test is to confirm a clinical suspicion of Urofacial syndrome by identifying pathogenic mutations in the LRIG2 gene. It aids in establishing a definitive diagnosis, enabling early intervention, genetic counseling, and informed family planning. It also helps differentiate UFS from other conditions with overlapping symptoms.

How to Prepare

  • Ensure the sample is collected in the provided EDTA tube or FTA card.
  • Label the sample with patient's name and date of birth.
  • For FTA card, allow the blood spot to dry completely before packaging.
  • Transport the sample to the lab at ambient temperature.

Understanding Your Results

The interpretation of the LRIG2 gene NGS test results should be performed by a qualified geneticist. Results are reported as positive, negative, or variants of uncertain significance.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms the diagnosis of Urofacial syndrome. Genetic counseling is recommended for the family.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutation detected in LRIG2 gene. Clinical diagnosis should be re-evaluated; other genes may be involved.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing of family members may help clarify.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or pediatrician if the test result is positive or if you have concerns about Urofacial syndrome symptoms. Early consultation can help in management and family planning.

Limitations

  • This test detects mutations only in the LRIG2 gene; other genes may also cause Urofacial syndrome.
  • Large deletions/duplications may not be detected by standard NGS; additional testing may be required.
  • Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) may require further family studies.
  • Test does not assess the functional impact of variants.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
  • Fainting or dizziness during blood collection
  • Emotional distress from receiving genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality or quantity
  • Contamination during sample collection
  • Recent blood transfusion (may dilute DNA)
  • Bone marrow transplantation (may affect results)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Urofacial syndrome?
Urofacial syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bladder dysfunction and facial abnormalities. It is caused by mutations in genes like LRIG2 or HPSE2.
How is the LRIG2 gene test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the LRIG2 gene for mutations. A blood or saliva sample is collected and sent to the lab.
What is the cost of the LRIG2 gene test in India?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, which includes free home sample collection.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after the sample is received.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
Can this test be done on children?
Yes, the test is suitable for children, especially those showing symptoms of Urofacial syndrome.
What sample types are accepted?
We accept blood in EDTA tube, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Will the test detect all genetic causes of Urofacial syndrome?
No, this test specifically analyzes the LRIG2 gene. Other genes like HPSE2 may also cause the condition, and additional testing may be needed.
Is genetic counseling included?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is included to help you understand the test and its implications.
Can I book the test online?
Yes, you can book online through our website, and we offer free home sample collection in many cities.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the LRIG2 gene, confirming the diagnosis of Urofacial syndrome.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test is safe with minimal risks, such as slight bruising at the blood draw site.
