- Method
- Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology
Sample Collection
No fasting is required. Kindly share the patient's relevant clinical history and previous reports with the laboratory. A genetic counseling session may be scheduled to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with OR13H1 gene-related neurological disorders.
Method: Peripheral blood collection, FTA blood spot, or submitted extracted DNA
Laboratory Analysis
A blood sample will be collected in an EDTA tube, or one drop of blood will be placed on an FTA card. For extracted DNA, the specimen should be provided in a sterile vial.
Report Delivery
The sample will be transported to the lab at ambient temperature. Reports will be available in 3 to 4 weeks. You will receive an online portal link, email, and WhatsApp notification.
Timeline: Reports are delivered in 3 to 4 weeks after the sample reaches the laboratory.

About This Test
Who Should Get This Test
This NGS test is designed to identify variants in the OR13H1 gene that may contribute to autism-related phenotypes. It aids clinicians in evaluating the genetic basis of communication and social behavioral difficulties. This is not a standalone diagnostic test for autism.
How to Prepare
- Sample type: Blood or extracted DNA or one drop blood on FTA card
- Use a labeled EDTA vacutainer for blood collection
- FTA card should be air-dried before packing
- Extracted DNA should be stored in a sterile microtube
Doctor's Notes
Reviewed by Dr SULOCHANA HEMCHANDRA HOLLA — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532
"Pre- and post-test genetic counseling is essential when evaluating OR13H1 variants in autism spectrum disorder. The result should be discussed with a clinical geneticist and the referring physician before making clinical decisions."

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Clotted or hemolyzed blood sample
- Unlabeled or mislabeled sample
- FTA card with insufficient blood spot
- Degraded extracted DNA not meeting quality threshold
Understanding Your Results
Indicates a variant associated with OR13H1-related autism susceptibility. Genetic counseling and clinical correlation are recommended.
The variant cannot yet be classified. Additional family studies and further genetic testing may be required.
No clinically significant OR13H1 variant was found. Autism may still be present due to other genetic or environmental factors.
Patients should consult their referring physician or a clinical geneticist if a pathogenic variant is identified, if the report shows a variant of uncertain significance, or if symptoms continue despite a negative result.
Limitations
- ⚠NGS may not detect large structural rearrangements, deep intronic variants, repeat expansions, or copy number changes depending on the test design.
- ⚠Absence of a pathogenic variant in OR13H1 does not rule out autism or other genetic causes.
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance may require additional family segregation studies.
- ⚠Clinical correlation with developmental and behavioral assessment is essential.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Blood collection can cause minor pain, bruising, or bleeding at the puncture site
- ●No significant medical risks are associated with genetic testing using blood/FTA card samples
- ●Possible psychological or emotional impact of genetic findings
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor quality or degraded DNA
- ●Low sequence coverage in OR13H1 gene regions
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Errors in family history or clinical information
- ●Incomplete genetic counseling or pedigree details
