Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the MRPS22 gene. A positive result confirms diagnosis, while a negative result does not rule out other causes if clinical suspicion remains high.
Pathogenic variant detected: Confirms MRPS22-related COXPD5; recommend genetic counseling and management
No pathogenic variants: Consider other genetic or metabolic disorders; clinical correlation needed
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): May require further testing or family studies
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic counselor or metabolic specialist if results are positive, if symptoms persist despite negative results, or for family planning advice.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or deep intronic variants
  • Results require interpretation by a qualified geneticist
  • Limited to MRPS22 gene; other genes in oxidative phosphorylation pathways are not covered

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood collection, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results may require counseling

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA
  • Contamination during sample collection or processing
  • Technical errors in NGS sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MRPS22 Gene NGS Genetic Test?
It is a Next-Generation Sequencing test to detect mutations in the MRPS22 gene, responsible for Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 5, a rare metabolic disorder.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms like seizures, developmental delay, or muscle weakness, or those with a family history of metabolic disorders or COXPD5.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to sequence the MRPS22 gene and identify pathogenic variants.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000 in India, inclusive of home sample collection and genetic counseling.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across India for this test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the results indicate?
Results show if pathogenic variants in the MRPS22 gene are detected, confirming or ruling out the diagnosis of COXPD5.
Is the test accurate?
NGS technology is highly accurate for detecting genetic mutations, but results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist.
Are there any risks to the test?
The test involves a simple blood draw with minimal risks, such as bruising; genetic counseling is recommended for result interpretation.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
It can be part of prenatal genetic counseling, but specific prenatal tests like chorionic villus sampling may be needed for direct fetal testing.
What if the test results are negative but symptoms persist?
Consult a healthcare provider to consider other genetic or metabolic causes, as this test only covers the MRPS22 gene.
How do I prepare for the test?
Provide your clinical history and family pedigree during a genetic counseling session; no fasting is required.
