Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the NRG1 gene. Consult a genetic specialist for interpretation.
Normal result: No pathogenic variants detected, reducing the likelihood of NRG1-related Hirschsprung disease.
Abnormal result: Pathogenic variant detected, confirming genetic predisposition and guiding further management.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms of Hirschsprung disease are present, such as chronic constipation or abdominal distension, or if there is a family history of the condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hirschsprung disease?
Hirschsprung disease is a rare congenital condition where nerve cells are missing in parts of the large intestine, causing bowel obstruction and digestive problems.
What is the NRG1 gene?
The NRG1 gene on chromosome 8 produces neuregulin-1 protein, essential for nervous system development, including digestive tract neurons. Mutations are linked to Hirschsprung disease.
How is the NGS genetic test performed?
The test uses Next Generation Sequencing to analyze the NRG1 gene from a blood or DNA sample, detecting genetic variants associated with Hirschsprung disease.
What is the cost of the NRG1 Gene Hirschsprung Disease NGS Genetic Test?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample 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 get the test results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.

Symptoms include chronic constipation, abdominal distension, difficulty passing stools, diarrhea, vomiting, and slow growth in children.
Who should consider getting this genetic test?
Individuals with symptoms of Hirschsprung disease, a family history of the condition, or those seeking genetic counseling for reproductive planning.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the insurance provider and policy. It is not typically covered under government schemes like PMJAY or CGHS; check with your insurer.
What is NGS technology?
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput method that sequences multiple genes simultaneously, allowing for comprehensive genetic analysis at a reasonable cost.
Can this test diagnose other conditions?
This test specifically targets NRG1 gene variants related to Hirschsprung disease. For other conditions, different genetic tests may be required.
What should I do after receiving the test results?
Consult a genetic counselor or healthcare provider to interpret the results, understand implications, and discuss management or treatment options.
