Overview

The primary purpose of the NGSNeuro NGS Genetic Test is to identify the underlying genetic cause of symptoms suggestive of a hereditary neurological disorder. It may also be used for carrier status determination, preconception screening, and prenatal diagnosis in families with an established genetic risk.

Method
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Step 1

Sample Collection

No fasting or special preparation is required. Please provide clinical history and any relevant family pedigree details to the genetic counsellor.

Method: Blood draw or FTA card spotting

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

A trained phlebotomist will collect a blood sample or a spot of blood on an FTA card. If providing extracted DNA, the laboratory will accept DNA isolated at an accredited facility.

Step 3

Report Delivery

No restrictions after sample collection. You can resume daily activities immediately.

Timeline: Reports are generally available within 3 to 4 weeks after the laboratory receives the sample.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:No specific preparation is needed. Clinical history and pedigree details should be shared before testing.
2
During the Test:A simple blood sample collection or FTA card spot is performed. It usually takes less than 5 minutes.
3
After the Test:You can leave immediately after sample collection. No special care is required afterward.

Understanding Your Results

The NGSNeuro NGS Genetic Test report is interpreted in the context of clinical history, family history, and variant databases. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants are considered clinically relevant.
📊

No pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant detected

No clinically significant mutation was found in the targeted genes covered by the panel. This does not completely exclude a genetic cause.

📊

Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant detected

A clinically significant variant was identified. The result may confirm the suspected genetic diagnosis and guide management or reproductive counselling.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

A genetic change was found, but its clinical significance is not yet known. Additional familial studies or further testing may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have persistent neurological symptoms, a family history of a genetic neurological condition, or are planning a family with known inherited risk, consult a neurologist or a clinical geneticist for genetic testing and counselling.

Limitations

  • ⚠Targeted NGS panels may not detect all types of genetic changes, such as large structural rearrangements or repeat expansions in all genes.
  • ⚠Some variants may be reported as variants of uncertain significance (VUS); additional family studies may be needed.
  • ⚠The test is not a substitute for clinical evaluation by a neurologist.
  • ⚠A negative result does not completely exclude a genetic cause.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●No significant physical risks are involved. The test requires routine blood collection, and rare risks include mild bruising, bleeding, or infection at the puncture site.

Interfering Factors

  • ●Low DNA concentration or quality
  • ●Sample contamination or degradation
  • ●Incomplete coverage of complex genomic regions
  • ●Presence of homologous pseudogenes can complicate read alignment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NGSNeuro NGS Genetic Test?
It is a next-generation sequencing-based genetic test that analyses targeted genes associated with neurological disorders to identify pathogenic variants that may explain symptoms.
How much does the NGSNeuro NGS Genetic Test cost?
The cost is INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, which includes genetic counselling and free home sample collection in most cities.
What sample is required for the test?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card can be used for the test.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get the report?
Reports are generally available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Which diseases can the NGSNeuro test help detect?
It may help identify germline genetic causes related to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, hereditary neuropathy, and other neurological disorders. Clinical evaluation is always required.
Can this test be used for carrier or prenatal testing?
Yes, the NGSNeuro panel can be used for carrier, preconception, and prenatal testing to assess inherited mutations, with appropriate genetic counselling.
What is included in the test cost?
The cost includes free home sample collection in eligible cities, genetic counselling session, NGS analysis, and a detailed clinical report.
Will I get raw data files with my report?
Yes, DNA Labs India provides raw data, FASTQ, and VCF files along with the conclusive clinical report for transparency.
Is the NGSNeuro NGS Genetic Test covered by insurance?
Coverage is not guaranteed and depends on the insurance scheme. You should confirm with your insurance provider or check under schemes like CGHS, PMJAY, or ECHS.
What does a variant of uncertain significance mean?
It is a genetic change that has not yet been classified as disease-causing or benign. It may require additional family segregation studies or further testing.
Are there any risks in this test?
Risks are limited to routine blood collection, such as mild pain, bruising, or very rare infection. No additional physical risks are expected.
