Overview

The purpose of this NGS genetic test is to confirm the diagnosis of Kagami-Ogata syndrome by detecting paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14. It helps in differentiating this condition from other imprinting disorders and provides essential information for prognosis and management. Early diagnosis enables timely intervention for growth retardation, feeding difficulties, and developmental delays. Additionally, it allows for accurate genetic counseling for the family regarding recurrence risks and reproductive options.

Sample Collection

No special preparation is required. However, a genetic counseling session is recommended before the test to discuss the implications and obtain informed consent. Please provide a detailed clinical history and any relevant family pedigree.

Method: Venipuncture or FTA card spot

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

Blood sample will be collected by a trained phlebotomist. For FTA card, a few drops of blood will be spotted on the card. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.

Step 3

Report Delivery

No specific aftercare is needed. You can resume normal activities immediately. The sample will be transported to the laboratory for analysis.

Timeline: Reports are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after the sample reaches the laboratory.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:A pre-test genetic counseling session is mandatory. The counselor will draw a pedigree chart and explain the test procedure, risks, and benefits. Written informed consent will be obtained.
2
During the Test:The test involves a simple blood draw or FTA card sample collection. No anesthesia is required. The procedure takes about 5-10 minutes.

Understanding Your Results

The test results are interpreted by a clinical geneticist. A positive result for paternal UPD14 confirms the diagnosis of Kagami-Ogata syndrome. Negative results do not exclude the condition if clinical suspicion is high, and further testing may be recommended.
📊

Positive for paternal UPD14

Confirms diagnosis of Kagami-Ogata syndrome. Genetic counseling is advised for family planning and management.

📊

Negative for paternal UPD14

No evidence of paternal UPD14. Other genetic causes should be considered if symptoms persist.

📊

Inconclusive

Test could not be completed due to technical issues. Repeat testing or alternative methods may be required.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a pediatric geneticist or clinical geneticist if your child shows features such as abdominal wall defects, characteristic facial appearance, or developmental delay. Early diagnosis can significantly improve management outcomes.

Limitations

  • This test detects only paternal UPD14, not other causes of Kagami-Ogata syndrome (e.g., microdeletions, epimutations)
  • Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings
  • Genetic counseling is recommended for result interpretation
  • Prenatal testing requires prior confirmation of fetal indication

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
  • Fainting or dizziness during blood collection (rare)
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Maternal cell contamination in the sample
  • Low DNA quality or quantity
  • Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks)
  • Bone marrow transplantation
  • Incomplete clinical information
