Step 1

Sample Collection

No special preparation is required. However, a clinical history and genetic counseling session is recommended before testing.

Method: Venipuncture or FTA card blood spot

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

Blood sample is collected by a trained phlebotomist. For FTA card, a few drops of blood are placed on the card and allowed to dry.

Step 3

Report Delivery

No specific aftercare is needed. The sample is transported to the laboratory at ambient temperature.

Timeline: Reports are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample receipt.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:No special preparation. Genetic counseling is recommended to discuss the implications of testing.
2
During the Test:A blood sample is drawn. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.
3
After the Test:You will receive the report in 3-4 weeks. A genetic counselor will explain the results and next steps.

Understanding Your Results

The test report will indicate whether a pathogenic variant in the PTPN11 gene was identified. Positive results confirm the diagnosis of Noonan Syndrome Type 1. Negative results do not rule out the condition, as other genes may be involved.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected. Confirms diagnosis. Genetic counseling recommended for family members.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant found. Consider testing other RASopathy genes if clinical suspicion remains.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

A variant with unknown clinical significance. Further segregation analysis may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or pediatrician if you or your child have features suggestive of Noonan syndrome, or if there is a family history. Early diagnosis can guide management and surveillance.

Limitations

  • This test detects mutations only in the PTPN11 gene; mutations in other genes (e.g., SOS1, RAF1, RIT1) may cause Noonan syndrome and would not be detected.
  • Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) may be reported; further family studies may be needed.
  • Large deletions/duplications may not be detected by standard NGS; additional testing may be required.
  • Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
  • Psychological impact of genetic results
  • Potential for incidental findings

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
  • Insufficient sample quantity
  • Presence of maternal cell contamination in prenatal samples
  • Recent blood transfusion (may dilute nucleated cells)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Noonan Syndrome Type 1?
Noonan Syndrome Type 1 is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the PTPN11 gene, leading to characteristic facial features, short stature, heart defects, and other health issues.
How is the PTPN11 NGS test performed?
A blood sample is collected, DNA is extracted, and the PTPN11 gene is sequenced using Next-Generation Sequencing technology to detect mutations.
What is the cost of the PTPN11 NGS test in India?
The cost is approximately INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection included.
Do I need to fast 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 the sample reaches the laboratory.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the PTPN11 gene, confirming the diagnosis of Noonan Syndrome Type 1.
Can this test detect all cases of Noonan syndrome?
No, this test only analyzes the PTPN11 gene. Other genes can also cause Noonan syndrome, so a negative result does not rule out the condition.
Is genetic counseling provided?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is included to discuss the implications of testing and to draw a pedigree chart.
What sample types are accepted?
We accept blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection in over 200 cities across India.
Will I receive raw data files?
Yes, DNA Labs India provides raw data files (FASTQ, VCF) along with the clinical report for transparency.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed. However, it is recommended to have a clinical history and genetic counseling session before testing.
