Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the REN gene, which can confirm or rule out Renal Tubular Dysgenesis.
📊

Pathogenic Mutation Detected

Confirms diagnosis of Renal Tubular Dysgenesis due to REN gene mutation. Genetic counseling and specialist consultation recommended.

📊

No Pathogenic Mutation Detected

Reduces likelihood of REN gene-related Renal Tubular Dysgenesis, but clinical correlation and further evaluation may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms persist, test results are positive, or for family planning advice, consult a nephrologist or geneticist immediately.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for proper interpretation
  • ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Potential psychological impact of genetic results on family

Symptoms include low birth weight, persistent low blood pressure, elevated potassium levels, decreased urine output, and failure to thrive.
How is Renal Tubular Dysgenesis diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies like ultrasound, and genetic testing such as NGS to identify REN gene mutations.
What is NGS Genetic Testing?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a advanced technique that sequences multiple genes simultaneously to detect mutations efficiently.
What is the cost of the REN Gene NGS Test in India?
The cost is approximately INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
