Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the PGAM2 gene associated with glycogen storage disease type 10.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Diagnosis of PGAM2 deficiency confirmed; clinical correlation and management recommended

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected; but if symptoms persist, further testing may be needed

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Genetic counseling advised to discuss implications and family testing

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If experiencing symptoms of glycogen storage disease, such as muscle weakness, hypoglycemia, or enlarged liver/heart, or if there is a family history of metabolic disorders.

Limitations

  • May not detect all mutation types, such as large deletions or duplications
  • Variants of uncertain significance may be identified, requiring further evaluation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or discomfort at the needle site
  • Rare risk of infection or fainting during blood draw

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Hemolyzed samples

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PGAM2 Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 10?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PGAM2 gene, leading to abnormal glycogen storage in liver and muscles, causing symptoms like muscle weakness and hypoglycemia.
What are the symptoms of this disorder?
Symptoms include muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, low blood sugar, enlarged liver or heart, short stature, and delayed development.
How is the diagnosis confirmed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, such as NGS, to identify mutations in the PGAM2 gene, along with clinical evaluation and imaging studies.
What does the NGS Genetic Test involve?
The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the PGAM2 gene DNA sequence, detecting mutations associated with the disorder from a blood sample.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000, which includes sample collection, analysis, and report generation.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across major cities in India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
What should I do before getting tested?
A genetic counseling session is recommended to discuss clinical history, family pedigree, and test implications.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal and similar to standard blood draws, such as minor bruising or rare infection.
How accurate is the genetic test?
NGS genetic testing is highly accurate for detecting pathogenic mutations in the PGAM2 gene, though it may not identify all mutation types.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This test is primarily for postnatal diagnosis; prenatal testing may require different methods and genetic counseling.
What are the treatment options after diagnosis?
Treatment focuses on symptom management, such as dietary adjustments and monitoring, guided by healthcare professionals based on genetic results.
