Frequently Asked Questions

What is PHKA1 Gene Muscle Glycogenosis?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PHKA1 gene, leading to abnormal glycogen storage in muscles and symptoms like weakness and pain.
What are the common symptoms?
Symptoms include muscle weakness, cramping, pain, fatigue, difficulty walking, and in severe cases, heart or breathing problems.
How is the diagnosis confirmed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through the PHKA1 Gene NGS Genetic Test, which detects mutations in the PHKA1 gene from a DNA sample.
What does the NGS Genetic Test involve?
It involves analyzing a blood or DNA sample using Next-Generation Sequencing technology to identify genetic variants in the PHKA1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.

Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings across many cities in India.
What samples are required?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card are accepted.
Who should consider getting tested?
Individuals experiencing symptoms of muscle glycogenosis or with a family history of the disorder should consult a geneticist for testing.
What if the test result is positive?
A positive result confirms the diagnosis, and a genetic counselor can guide treatment and family planning options.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test carries minimal risk from blood draw, but genetic implications for family members should be discussed during counseling.
