Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the MRPS16 gene. A positive result confirms genetic basis for the condition, while a negative result may require further testing.
📊

Positive for MRPS16 mutation

Confirms diagnosis of Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 2. Genetic counseling and management recommended.

📊

Negative

No mutations detected in MRPS16 gene. Consider other genetic or metabolic causes if symptoms persist.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If test results are positive, or if symptoms persist despite negative results, consult a geneticist or metabolic specialist for comprehensive evaluation.

Limitations

  • Only detects mutations in the MRPS16 gene
  • May not identify all genetic variants
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Technical errors in sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MRPS16 Gene Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 2 NGS Genetic Test?
This test uses Next Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the MRPS16 gene, which cause Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 2, a rare genetic disorder affecting cellular energy production.
Why is this test recommended?
It is recommended for diagnosing symptoms like muscle weakness, developmental delays, seizures, or cardiac issues, especially with a family history of metabolic disorders.
What samples are required for this test?
Samples can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample receipt.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across many cities in India.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000, which includes testing, analysis, and a detailed report.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS technology provides high accuracy for detecting mutations in the MRPS16 gene, but results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional.
Can this test be done during pregnancy?
Consult your healthcare provider; prenatal testing may be possible but requires genetic counseling.
What are the symptoms of Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 2?
Symptoms include muscle weakness, developmental delays, seizures, heart problems, and can vary in severity from mild to life-threatening.
How is the test performed?
A sample is collected and analyzed in the lab using NGS technology to sequence the MRPS16 gene for mutations.
What if the test results are negative but symptoms persist?
If symptoms persist, further testing or consultation with a geneticist is recommended, as other genetic or metabolic causes may be involved.
Is genetic counseling provided with the test?
Yes, DNA Labs India recommends a genetic counseling session before testing to discuss implications and draw a family pedigree chart.
