Frequently Asked Questions

What is POLE Gene FILS Syndrome?
POLE Gene FILS Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the POLE gene, leading to genomic instability and increased risk of various cancers, including colorectal, ovarian, breast, and endometrial cancers.
What are the symptoms of POLE Gene FILS Syndrome?
Symptoms can vary but often include development of multiple tumors, early-onset cancers such as colorectal, ovarian, breast, or endometrial cancer, and in some cases, no symptoms until cancer diagnosis.
How is POLE Gene FILS Syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis is primarily through genetic testing, specifically the POLE Gene FILS Syndrome NGS Genetic Test, which sequences the POLE gene to identify mutations from a blood or tissue sample.
What is the cost of the POLE Gene FILS Syndrome NGS Genetic Test?
The cost in India is INR 20,000, which includes home sample collection. Prices may vary by location, and it is often not covered by insurance.
Is the test covered by insurance?
This test may not be covered by insurance, and individuals may need to pay out of pocket. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection, delivered via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card, collected through venipuncture or FTA card method.
Can the test be done at home?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across many cities in India, making it convenient for patients.
What is the accuracy of the test?
The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), which is highly accurate for detecting genetic mutations, but results should be interpreted by a genetic counselor in clinical context.
Who should get tested for POLE Gene FILS Syndrome?
Individuals with a family history of FILS Syndrome, early-onset cancers, or symptoms suggestive of the disorder should consider testing after genetic counseling.
What are the risks of the test?
Risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw (e.g., bruising), but psychological impacts may occur, so genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing.
How can I prepare for the test?
Prepare by attending a genetic counseling session, providing clinical history, and ensuring proper sample collection. No fasting is required, but follow lab instructions for sample handling.
