Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the NDP gene. A positive result confirms a genetic predisposition to Exudative Vitreoretinopathy Type 2.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of EVR2; genetic counseling and ophthalmology consultation recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No NDP gene mutation detected; consider other causes of symptoms.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed; consult genetic counselor.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult an ophthalmologist or genetic counselor if experiencing vision changes, especially with a family history of eye disorders, or upon receiving test results.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in the NDP gene
  • ⚠Results should be interpreted in clinical context
  • ⚠Does not rule out other causes of vision loss

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, slight pain
  • ●No significant risks associated with genetic testing

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Hemolyzed blood samples
  • ●Improper sample storage

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NDP Gene Exudative Vitreoretinopathy Type 2?
It is an inherited eye disorder caused by mutations in the NDP gene, leading to retinal issues and potential vision loss.
How is the NDP Gene Genetic Test performed?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from a blood sample for mutations in the NDP gene.
What is the cost of this genetic test in India?
The cost is INR 20000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available across many cities.
Is home collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
How long does it take to receive test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What are the symptoms of Exudative Vitreoretinopathy Type 2?
Symptoms include poor night vision, loss of peripheral vision, blurred vision, floaters, and flashes in vision.
Who should consider getting this genetic test?
Individuals with a family history of EVR2, those experiencing related symptoms, or those undergoing genetic counseling.
Is this test covered by health insurance schemes in India?
Coverage depends on the insurance plan; schemes like PMJAY, CGHS, etc., may not cover it directly—check with your provider.
What do the test results mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic NDP gene mutation, confirming EVR2 diagnosis; negative suggests no detected mutation.
Are there any risks associated with this genetic test?
The test involves a standard blood draw with minimal risks such as bruising; no significant genetic testing risks.
How accurate is the NDP Gene Genetic Test?
The test uses NGS technology for high accuracy in detecting NDP gene mutations, but it may not identify all possible variants.
Can this test detect all mutations causing eye disorders?
No, it specifically targets NDP gene mutations for EVR2; other genetic or non-genetic causes may require different tests.
