Frequently Asked Questions

What is Blau syndrome?
Blau syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NOD2 gene, leading to granulomas and inflammation in joints, skin, and eyes.
What are the symptoms of Blau syndrome?
Common symptoms include arthritis, skin rash, uveitis (eye inflammation), fever, and swollen lymph nodes, typically starting in childhood.
How is Blau syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and genetic testing, such as the NOD2 Gene NGS Test, to confirm mutations in the NOD2 gene.
What is the NOD2 gene?
The NOD2 gene provides instructions for a protein involved in immune response; mutations can cause Blau syndrome and other inflammatory conditions.
What does the NOD2 Gene Blau Syndrome NGS Genetic Test involve?
It uses Next-Generation Sequencing to analyze the NOD2 gene for mutations, performed on blood or saliva samples.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
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, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in numerous cities across India.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of Blau syndrome, a family history of the condition, or those needing genetic confirmation for diagnosis.
What are the treatment options for Blau syndrome?
Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants under medical supervision.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies; check with your insurance provider. Government schemes like PMJAY may not cover it.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting known mutations, but genetic counseling is recommended for result interpretation.
