Test Parameters & Specifications

Sample TypeBlood or Extracted DNA
Collection MethodVenipuncture

Sample Stability

Blood samples are stable for 24 hours at room temperature; extracted DNA can be stored longer per lab protocol
Sample Rejection Criteria:
  • Hemolyzed or clotted samples
  • Insufficient sample volume
  • Improperly labeled samples

Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the PROC gene. A positive result confirms genetic predisposition to Protein C Deficiency, while a negative result suggests no detected mutations, but clinical correlation is advised.
📊

No pathogenic variants detected

Normal; low genetic risk for Protein C Deficiency, but clinical symptoms may require further evaluation.

📊

Pathogenic variants identified

Abnormal; confirms genetic diagnosis of Protein C Deficiency. Consult a geneticist for management and family screening.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like unexplained blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, or have a family history of clotting disorders. Also, seek advice after receiving test results for personalized management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible mutations in the PROC gene
  • Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
  • Does not assess protein C activity levels directly

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or pain at the blood draw site
  • Rare risk of infection or fainting

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Improper sample storage or handling
  • Recent blood transfusions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PROC Gene Protein C Deficiency?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PROC gene, leading to deficiency of protein C, which increases the risk of blood clots.
What are the symptoms of Protein C Deficiency?
Symptoms may include abnormal bleeding, leg swelling and pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, stroke, or heart attack. Some individuals may be asymptomatic.
How is Protein C Deficiency diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, blood tests for protein C activity and antigen levels, and genetic testing to confirm PROC gene mutations.
What is the AD NGS Genetic Test?
It is a Next Generation Sequencing-based genetic test that analyzes the entire PROC gene to identify mutations causing Protein C Deficiency with high accuracy.
How accurate is the AD NGS Genetic Test?
The test is highly accurate and can detect even small mutations that may be missed by other genetic tests, providing reliable results for diagnosis.
What is the cost of the PROC Gene Protein C Deficiency Test?
The cost is INR 20,000 in India, which may vary slightly by laboratory. Home sample collection is often included.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across many cities in India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What should I do before the test?
Provide your clinical history and undergo genetic counseling. No fasting is required, but bring ID and prescription.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves a standard blood draw, with minimal risks like bruising or infection. Genetic testing itself has no physical risks.
Can this test be used for family screening?
Yes, if a mutation is identified, family members can be tested to assess their risk and guide preventive measures.
What are the treatment options if diagnosed?
Treatment may include anticoagulant therapy, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized management.
