Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether pathogenic mutations in the NEUROD1 gene are detected.
Positive result: Mutation detected, consistent with MODY6 diagnosis
Negative result: No mutations detected, but clinical symptoms may warrant further testing
Variant of uncertain significance: Requires additional clinical and family data
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or endocrinologist if results are positive or if symptoms persist despite negative results.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in NEUROD1 gene
  • ⚠Results require genetic counseling for interpretation
  • ⚠Not a standalone diagnostic tool; clinical correlation needed

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk of bruising or infection at blood draw site
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic diagnosis

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor DNA quality
  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Hemolyzed blood sample

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MODY6?
MODY6 is a rare form of diabetes caused by mutations in the NEUROD1 gene, leading to insulin production issues and typically onset before age 25.
What causes MODY6?
MODY6 is caused by genetic mutations in the NEUROD1 gene, which disrupts insulin regulation in the pancreas.
Who should get this test?
Individuals with a family history of MODY, early-onset diabetes symptoms, or unexplained hyperglycemia before age 25 should consider this test.
How is the test performed?
The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from blood samples for mutations in the NEUROD1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The NEUROD1 Gene MODY6 NGS Genetic Test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India.
Is home collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the results mean?
Positive results indicate a NEUROD1 mutation linked to MODY6, while negative results suggest no such mutations, but clinical correlation is advised.
Can this test be used for family screening?
Yes, it helps identify at-risk family members who may carry NEUROD1 mutations.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, such as bruising from blood draw; genetic counseling is recommended to address psychological impacts.
How accurate is the NGS test?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting genetic mutations, but limitations exist, and results should be interpreted by a genetic specialist.
What should I do if I test positive?
Consult a geneticist or endocrinologist for personalized management, treatment options, and family screening recommendations.
