Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the MET gene associated with papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1.
Positive: Mutation detected, increased risk for papillary RCC type 1
Negative: No mutation detected, reduced risk but not zero
Variant of uncertain significance: Requires further evaluation
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or oncologist if results are positive or if there is a family history of kidney cancer.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of MET gene mutations
  • Results require genetic counseling for interpretation
  • False negatives or positives possible in rare cases

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising at puncture site
  • Rare risk of infection
  • Psychological impact of results

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Technical errors in sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MET Gene Renal Cell Carcinoma, Papillary Type 1, Familial NGS Genetic Test?
It is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) test that detects mutations in the MET gene associated with familial papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1, a rare form of kidney cancer.
Who should consider this genetic test?
Individuals with a family history of papillary RCC type 1, those experiencing symptoms like blood in urine or flank pain, or those recommended by a healthcare provider for genetic counseling.
What are the symptoms of papillary RCC type 1?
Symptoms may include blood in urine, pain in the side or back, a lump in the kidney area, fever, fatigue, weight loss, and loss of appetite, though some cases may be asymptomatic.
How is papillary RCC type 1 diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves physical exams, blood tests, urinalysis, imaging tests (CT, MRI, ultrasound), biopsy, and genetic testing for MET gene mutations in familial cases.
What does the NGS genetic test involve?
The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze DNA from a blood or extracted DNA sample for mutations in the MET gene, providing highly accurate results.
How accurate is the NGS test for MET gene mutations?
NGS is a state-of-the-art technique with high accuracy for detecting genetic mutations, but results should be interpreted by a geneticist due to possible variants of uncertain significance.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes sample collection and report generation, with free home collection available across many cities.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across numerous cities in India.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
What do the test results mean?
A positive result indicates a MET gene mutation, increasing risk for papillary RCC type 1; a negative result suggests no mutation detected, but genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal and may include minor bruising at the puncture site, rare infection, or psychological impact from results.
What should I do if the test results are positive?
Consult a geneticist or oncologist for further evaluation, surveillance, and management options to address the increased risk of papillary RCC type 1.
