Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of maternal UPD of chromosome 7 and other genetic variants associated with Silver-Russell Syndrome. Positive results confirm diagnosis, while negative results may require further testing.
📊

Positive for Maternal UPD Chr. 7

Confirms diagnosis of Silver-Russell Syndrome due to UPD. Recommend genetic counseling and multidisciplinary management.

📊

Negative for Maternal UPD Chr. 7

UPD not detected, but SRS may still be present due to other genetic causes. Consider additional genetic tests.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Follow-up with genetic specialist recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic specialist or pediatrician if test results are positive, if symptoms persist despite negative results, or for family planning and genetic counseling.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic causes of SRS
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Limited to known genetic markers
  • False negatives possible in rare cases

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic diagnosis
  • Potential for incidental findings

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • DNA degradation due to improper storage
  • Hemolyzed blood samples
  • Recent blood transfusions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is maternal UPD of chromosome 7?
Maternal UPD of chromosome 7 occurs when a person inherits two copies of chromosome 7 from the mother and none from the father, leading to Silver-Russell Syndrome.
How is the test performed?
The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from a blood sample or FTA card for genetic markers associated with Silver-Russell Syndrome.
What are the symptoms of Silver-Russell Syndrome?
Symptoms include low birth weight, delayed growth, short stature, facial asymmetry, small head size, clinodactyly, and café-au-lait spots.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required. The test can be performed at any time with a blood sample.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across India in numerous cities.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes sample collection, genetic analysis, and report generation.
Can this test diagnose all cases of Silver-Russell Syndrome?
No, it detects maternal UPD of chromosome 7, but SRS can also be caused by other genetic abnormalities, so additional tests may be needed.
Who should undergo this test?
The test is recommended for pediatric patients with symptoms of Silver-Russell Syndrome or a family history of the disorder.
What are the risks of the test?
Risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic counseling is provided to address psychological aspects.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed. Provide clinical history and attend a genetic counseling session before testing.
What do positive results mean?
Positive results confirm maternal UPD of chromosome 7, indicating Silver-Russell Syndrome. Consult a genetic specialist for management and counseling.
