Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the NLRP7 gene. Positive results suggest a genetic predisposition to hydatidiform mole, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

No pathogenic variants detected

Normal result; no genetic mutations linked to hydatidiform mole found.

📊

Pathogenic variants detected

Abnormal result; genetic mutations identified, increasing risk for hydatidiform mole and related conditions.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of hydatidiform mole, have a family history of the condition, or receive abnormal test results for further management and genetic counseling.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all possible mutations
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • ⚠Results may vary based on sample quality

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●No significant risks associated with the genetic test itself

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NLRP7 Gene Hydatidiform Mole NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the NLRP7 gene, which are associated with hydatidiform mole and other reproductive disorders.
Why is this test recommended?
This test is recommended for individuals with symptoms of hydatidiform mole, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, or those with a family history of the condition, to identify genetic causes.
What is NGS technology?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for the detection of genetic variations across large regions of the genome with high accuracy.
What are the symptoms of hydatidiform mole?
Symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormally large uterus, high hCG levels, nausea, vomiting, and preeclampsia.
How is the test performed?
The test involves collecting a blood sample or DNA extract, which is then analyzed using NGS technology to identify mutations in the NLRP7 gene.
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 the results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost of the NLRP7 Gene Hydatidiform Mole NGS Genetic Test is INR 20,000.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across many cities in India.
What do the test results indicate?
Results indicate whether pathogenic variants are detected in the NLRP7 gene. Positive results suggest a genetic risk for hydatidiform mole.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test has minimal risks, primarily related to blood draw, such as bruising. The genetic analysis itself poses no direct risks.
How can I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed. Provide your clinical history and undergo genetic counseling as recommended.
