Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the PRKN gene, which are associated with Parkinson's disease risk.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Increased genetic risk for Parkinson's disease. Consult a neurologist for further evaluation and management. Genetic counseling recommended for family members.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Low genetic risk for Parkinson's related to PRKN gene. Clinical correlation is essential, as other factors may contribute to symptoms.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

After receiving test results, consult with a neurologist or genetic counselor to discuss implications, treatment options, and family planning.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in the PRKN gene
  • ⚠Results must be correlated with clinical findings and family history
  • ⚠Genetic testing does not predict disease onset with certainty

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising or discomfort at the blood draw site
  • ●Very low risk of infection or hematoma
  • ●Potential psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality or contamination
  • ●Inadequate DNA quantity or degradation
  • ●Technical errors during sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PRKN Gene PARK2 Parkinson NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the PRKN gene, associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease.
Who should consider taking this test?
Individuals with symptoms of Parkinson's, a family history of the disease, or early-onset Parkinson's, and those seeking genetic counseling.
How is the test performed?
The test analyzes a blood or DNA sample using NGS technology to sequence the PRKN gene for pathogenic variants.
What sample is required for the test?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card can be used.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of mutations in the PRKN gene, suggesting an increased genetic risk for Parkinson's disease. Consult a neurologist for guidance.
What does a negative result mean?
A negative result means no pathogenic variants were detected, indicating a lower genetic risk, but clinical correlation is still necessary.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance provider and plan. Contact your insurer for details; genetic tests may not be routinely covered.
Can the test be done at home?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across many cities in India.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20,000, which includes sample collection, analysis, and report generation.
How accurate is the NGS technology?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting genetic mutations, but results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in clinical context.
Should I get genetic counseling before the test?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended to understand the implications, benefits, and limitations of the test before proceeding.
