Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in MPS-related genes. A positive result confirms a genetic basis for MPS, while a negative result may require further testing or clinical correlation.
Pathogenic variant detected: Suggests a diagnosis of specific MPS type; consult a geneticist for management
Variant of uncertain significance: May require family studies or functional assays for clarification
No pathogenic variants: Does not completely rule out MPS; consider enzyme assays or clinical evaluation
Report includes raw data files (FASTQ, VCF) for independent verification if needed
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare professional or genetic counselor immediately after receiving test results for interpretation, management options, and family planning advice.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all possible mutations or variants of unknown significance
  • ⚠Does not assess enzyme activity levels; complementary enzyme assays may be needed
  • ⚠Limited to known MPS-related genes; other metabolic disorders may require additional testing

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising, pain, or infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results; genetic counseling recommended

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality (e.g., hemolyzed or degraded DNA)
  • ●Contamination during sample collection or transport
  • ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis

What is the MPS Enzyme Panel NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test using NGS technology to identify mutations in genes associated with Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), a group of metabolic disorders.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of MPS, such as joint stiffness, coarse facial features, or developmental delays, and those with a family history of MPS.
How is the test performed?
A small blood sample is collected and analyzed in the lab using NGS to detect over 100 mutations linked to MPS disorders.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000 at DNA Labs India, which includes home sample collection and report delivery.
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, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across many cities in India for this test.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates pathogenic mutations in MPS-related genes, confirming a genetic basis for MPS. Consult a genetic counselor for next steps.
Can this test detect all types of MPS?
The test covers mutations for over 100 variants associated with MPS, but it may not detect every possible mutation. Additional testing might be needed.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What sample types are accepted?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card are accepted samples.
Is genetic counseling required before testing?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart and discuss implications.
How can I access my test results?
Results are delivered via online portal, email, or WhatsApp, and raw data files (FASTQ, VCF) are provided for transparency.
