Step 1

Sample Collection

Patient should provide complete clinical history and undergo a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with glycosylation disorders.

Method: Venipuncture for blood, cheek swab for DNA collection

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

Blood sample is drawn via venipuncture by a trained phlebotomist, or a cheek swab is collected non-invasively.

Step 3

Report Delivery

Sample is labeled, processed, and sent to the laboratory under stable conditions for DNA extraction and analysis.

Timeline: Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample receipt.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:Genetic counseling session to discuss test implications, informed consent obtained, and clinical history reviewed.
2
During the Test:Sample collected, DNA extracted, and NGS sequencing performed in the laboratory.
3
After the Test:Results analyzed, interpreted by geneticists, and reported with counseling recommendations.

Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the MPI gene. A positive result suggests a diagnosis of MPI glycosylation disorder type 1B, while a negative result reduces the likelihood but does not completely exclude it due to test limitations.
Positive for pathogenic variant: Confirms diagnosis, prompting further clinical evaluation and management.
Negative for pathogenic variant: May require additional testing if clinical suspicion remains high.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): Requires follow-up and possibly functional studies.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms such as failure to thrive, developmental delays, or liver dysfunction are present, or for genetic counseling if there is a family history of glycosylation disorders.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications
  • Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and family history
  • Does not rule out other genetic or metabolic disorders

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or discomfort from blood draw
  • Psychological impact of genetic results on patients and families
  • Risk of false positives or negatives due to test limitations

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
  • Hemolyzed blood samples
  • Improper sample storage
