Understanding Your Results

Results from the PSMB8 Gene NGS Genetic Test are interpreted based on the detection of mutations in the PSMB8 gene. Variants are classified according to clinical guidelines to determine their pathogenicity.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of PRAAS; tailored treatment and genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Likely pathogenic variant detected

Strong evidence for PRAAS; clinical correlation and further testing may be advised.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Insufficient evidence; monitor symptoms and consider family studies.

📊

No pathogenic variants detected

PRAAS unlikely due to PSMB8 mutations; consider other diagnoses.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms such as recurrent fever, skin rashes, joint pain, or abnormal fat distribution persist, or for genetic counseling regarding family planning and inheritance risks.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants, including large deletions or duplications
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • Does not replace clinical evaluation and other diagnostic tests
  • Genetic counseling is recommended for understanding implications

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • Psychological impact of genetic results
  • Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality (e.g., hemolyzed blood)
  • Contamination during sample collection or processing
  • Insufficient DNA quantity
  • Technical errors in sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PSMB8 Gene Autoinflammation, Lipodystrophy, and Dermatosis Syndrome (PRAAS)?
PRAAS is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PSMB8 gene, leading to immune dysregulation, inflammation, skin disorders, and abnormal fat distribution.
What are the common symptoms of PRAAS?
Symptoms include recurrent fever, skin rashes, joint pain, muscle weakness, and lipodystrophy (loss or excess of fat tissue in certain areas).
How is PRAAS diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and genetic testing, specifically the NGS Genetic Test to identify mutations in the PSMB8 gene.
What does the NGS Genetic Test for PRAAS involve?
The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the PSMB8 gene from a blood or DNA sample, detecting mutations with high accuracy.
What is the cost of the PSMB8 Gene NGS Genetic Test?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, which includes home sample collection and genetic counseling.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across India for online bookings.
What sample types are accepted for the test?
Accepted samples include blood in EDTA tube, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What are the benefits of genetic testing for PRAAS?
Benefits include accurate diagnosis, tailored treatment plans, early intervention to prevent complications, and genetic counseling for families.
Can PRAAS be treated?
While there is no cure, treatments focus on managing symptoms, reducing inflammation, and addressing complications through personalized care plans.
Is genetic counseling provided with the test?
Yes, DNA Labs India includes genetic counseling to help patients and families understand the disorder, inheritance risks, and implications for family planning.
