Frequently Asked Questions

What is Feingold syndrome?
Feingold syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital anomalies such as microcephaly, facial abnormalities, and limb malformations.
What causes Feingold syndrome?
Feingold syndrome is caused by genetic mutations, including in the MYCN gene, which is implicated in approximately 5% of cases.
What are the symptoms of Feingold syndrome?
Symptoms include microcephaly, small jaw, low-set ears, widely spaced eyes, short fingers and toes, growth delays, and intellectual disability.
How is Feingold syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, such as NGS, which analyzes genes like MYCN for mutations.
What is the MYCN gene?
The MYCN gene is one of the genes associated with Feingold syndrome; mutations in this gene can contribute to the disorder.
What is NGS genetic testing?
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is an advanced technology that analyzes multiple genes simultaneously, providing comprehensive genetic analysis.
How much does the MYCN Gene Feingold Syndrome NGS Genetic Test cost?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, including sample collection and analysis.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires a blood sample, 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 collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across many cities in India.
What should I do if the test is positive?
If positive, consult a geneticist or pediatrician for management options and genetic counseling.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This test is primarily for postnatal diagnosis; for prenatal testing, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate options.
