Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the PGM1 gene associated with Glycogen Storage Disease Type 14.
Positive result: Pathogenic mutation detected, confirming GSD14 diagnosis
Negative result: No pathogenic mutation found; consider other genetic tests or clinical evaluation
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): Further evaluation with clinical correlation and family studies is recommended
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or metabolic specialist if symptoms such as enlarged liver, muscle weakness, hypoglycemia, or delayed growth appear, or if there is a family history of GSD14.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variations, such as large deletions or insertions
  • False negatives are possible in rare cases
  • Cannot predict disease severity or exact onset age
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks associated with blood draw, such as bruising, pain, or rare infection at the puncture site

Interfering Factors

  • DNA degradation due to improper sample handling
  • Sample contamination
  • Incorrect sample type collection

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Glycogen Storage Disease Type 14 (GSD14)?
GSD14 is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PGM1 gene, leading to enzyme deficiency and glycogen accumulation in organs, causing symptoms like liver enlargement, muscle weakness, and hypoglycemia.
What does the PGM1 Gene NGS Genetic Test involve?
The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the entire PGM1 gene for mutations, providing a definitive diagnosis for GSD14 from a blood or DNA sample.
How is the sample collected for this test?
Sample collection involves a blood draw via venipuncture using an EDTA tube, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Home collection services are available.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after the sample reaches the laboratory.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across many cities in India.
What is the cost of the PGM1 Gene GSD14 NGS Genetic Test?
The test costs INR 20000.0, with a special discounted price available through DNA Labs India.
How accurate is this genetic test?
The NGS Genetic Test is highly accurate and reliable for detecting mutations in the PGM1 gene, but no test is 100% foolproof; false negatives can occur in rare cases.
What should I do if the test result is positive?
A positive result confirms GSD14; consult a geneticist or metabolic specialist for treatment planning, lifestyle adjustments, and genetic counseling for family members.
Can this test be performed on family members?
Yes, the test can be used for carrier testing or diagnostic purposes in family members, especially if there is a known history of GSD14.
Are there any risks associated with this test?
The risks are minimal and related to the blood draw, such as bruising or minor infection; genetic testing itself poses no physical risks.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed, but genetic counseling is recommended before testing to understand implications and provide accurate family history information.
