Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the PROS1 gene. Positive results confirm genetic predisposition to protein S deficiency.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis; increased thrombosis risk. Consult hematologist for management.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Reduces likelihood of genetic deficiency; consider other causes if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further testing or family studies may be needed. Genetic counseling recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have a family history of thrombosis, recurrent clots, or unexplained pregnancy losses, consult a hematologist or genetic counselor.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants
  • Results require clinical correlation
  • Does not measure protein S levels directly

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising at puncture site
  • Rare infection risk
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Recent blood transfusion
  • Anticoagulant therapy
  • Sample hemolysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PROS1 gene protein S deficiency?
It is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder where mutations in the PROS1 gene lead to reduced protein S, increasing the risk of blood clots.
Who should get this genetic test?
Individuals with a personal or family history of thrombosis, recurrent miscarriages, or unexplained clotting events.
How is the test performed?
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the PROS1 gene for mutations from a blood or DNA sample.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with home collection available.
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 in 3 to 4 weeks.
What do the results mean?
Results indicate if pathogenic variants are present, confirming genetic risk. A genetic counselor can help interpret.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Some insurance plans may cover genetic testing; check with your provider. DNA Labs India offers transparent pricing.
What are the symptoms of protein S deficiency?
Symptoms include deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack, and recurrent miscarriages.
Can this test be done at home?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across India for this test.
What is the sample type required?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting genetic variants, but results should be correlated with clinical findings.
