Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the PRKAR1A gene. A positive result confirms acrodysostosis type 1, while a negative result may require further testing if clinical suspicion remains.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of acrodysostosis type 1; genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Acrodysostosis type 1 unlikely; consider other diagnoses or repeat testing if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further evaluation and family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms such as short stature, bone abnormalities, developmental delays, or hormonal issues are present, especially with a family history of similar conditions.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications
  • Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
  • Does not rule out other genetic disorders with similar symptoms

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality
  • Contamination during collection
  • Recent blood transfusions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PRKAR1A Gene Acrodysostosis Type 1 NGS Genetic Test?
This test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the PRKAR1A gene for mutations causing acrodysostosis type 1, a rare genetic disorder affecting bone growth and development.
Why is this test recommended?
It is recommended for individuals with symptoms like short stature, bone abnormalities, or developmental delays to confirm diagnosis and guide treatment.
What sample is required for the test?
A blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card can be used.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000, which includes home sample collection across India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a mutation in the PRKAR1A gene, confirming acrodysostosis type 1, and may involve hormone resistance.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic results may have psychological implications.
Can this test detect all mutations?
While NGS is comprehensive, it may not detect all mutation types, such as large structural variants; clinical correlation is advised.
Do I need genetic counseling before testing?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended to understand the test implications and draw a family pedigree chart.
What should I do after receiving results?
Consult a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to interpret results and discuss management options.
