Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the RPS19 gene associated with Diamond-Blackfan anemia type 1.
Positive for RPS19 mutation: Confirms diagnosis of DBA type 1
Negative for RPS19 mutation: DBA less likely or other genes may be involved
Variant of uncertain significance: Requires further testing and genetic counseling
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of anemia persist, if genetic test results are positive, or for genetic counseling regarding family planning.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw such as bruising or infection
  • Genetic counseling recommended for emotional impact of results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Diamond-Blackfan anemia?
Diamond-Blackfan anemia is a rare genetic disorder that affects red blood cell production, leading to anemia and related symptoms.
What is the RPS19 gene?
The RPS19 gene is involved in ribosome biogenesis, and mutations in this gene are a common cause of Diamond-Blackfan anemia type 1.
How is the NGS genetic test performed?
The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the RPS19 gene for mutations from a blood or DNA sample.
What are the symptoms of DBA type 1?
Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, delayed growth, and increased risk of infections.
Who should get this test?
Individuals with symptoms of DBA, family history of the condition, or those needing genetic confirmation.
How accurate is the test?
NGS technology provides high accuracy for detecting mutations in the RPS19 gene, but results should be interpreted by a genetic specialist.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result confirms the presence of an RPS19 mutation, indicating Diamond-Blackfan anemia type 1.
What if the test is negative?
A negative result suggests no RPS19 mutation, but DBA may still be possible due to other gene mutations; further testing may be needed.
Is genetic counseling required?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to understand implications and family risks.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan; check with your provider. Government schemes like PMJAY may not cover it.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
