Sample Collection
Clinical history of the patient and a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members are required before sample collection.
Method: Venipuncture
Laboratory Analysis
Sample is collected via venipuncture (blood draw) or using an FTA card for one drop of blood, following standard phlebotomy procedures.
Report Delivery
The sample is processed and sent to the laboratory for NGS analysis. Patients should follow any post-collection care instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
Timeline: 3 to 4 weeks

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or contaminated samples
- Incorrect labeling or insufficient volume

Understanding Your Results
No pathogenic variants detected
Normal result; no mutations associated with the condition found. Clinical correlation is recommended.
Pathogenic variants detected
Abnormal result; mutations identified that may cause pulmonary fibrosis and/or bone marrow failure. Genetic counseling and further clinical evaluation are advised.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms such as persistent cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, frequent infections, or if you have a family history of pulmonary fibrosis or bone marrow failure, especially after receiving test results.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in the PARN gene
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic or environmental causes
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for inconclusive results requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample degradation or contamination
- ●Technical errors during sequencing
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity or quality
