Frequently Asked Questions

What is Diamond-Blackfan Anemia Type 10?
DBA10 is a subtype of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia caused by mutations in the RPS26 gene, leading to impaired red blood cell production.
What causes DBA10?
DBA10 is caused by genetic mutations in the RPS26 gene, which is essential for ribosome function and red blood cell development.
What are the symptoms of DBA10?
Symptoms include anemia, fatigue, pale skin, shortness of breath, and jaundice, often appearing in infancy.
How is DBA10 diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, blood tests, and genetic testing such as NGS to detect RPS26 gene mutations.
What is NGS genetic testing?
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a advanced genetic testing method that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously for accurate diagnosis.
How accurate is the RPS26 gene test?
The test is highly accurate for detecting pathogenic mutations in the RPS26 gene, but results should be interpreted by a genetic specialist.
What sample is required for the test?
A blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card is required.
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 within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000.0, with special discounted pricing available.
How can I interpret the test results?
Results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or hematologist who can explain the findings and guide further management.
