Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the RXFP2 gene associated with cryptorchidism.
📊

No pathogenic variants detected

Normal result; low genetic risk for cryptorchidism due to RXFP2 mutations.

📊

Pathogenic variants detected

Abnormal result; increased risk for cryptorchidism; genetic counseling recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If results indicate pathogenic variants or if symptoms persist, consult a geneticist or urologist for further management.

Limitations

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

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising at puncture site
  • ●Rare infection risk
  • ●Minimal discomfort during blood draw

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Degraded DNA
  • ●Hemolyzed blood sample

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cryptorchidism?
Cryptorchidism is a condition where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum, commonly seen in male infants.
What is the RXFP2 gene?
The RXFP2 gene codes for a protein involved in testicular descent during fetal development; mutations can lead to cryptorchidism.
How is the RXFP2 Gene Cryptorchidism NGS Genetic Test performed?
It involves Next-Generation Sequencing of DNA from a blood sample to detect mutations in the RXFP2 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3-4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the results mean?
Results indicate whether pathogenic variants in the RXFP2 gene are detected, which can inform diagnosis and management.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the insurance provider; it is not universally covered. Check with your insurer.
Who should take this test?
Males with undescended testicles, family history of cryptorchidism, or related symptoms should consider this test.
Are there any risks to the test?
Risks are minimal, including minor bruising or discomfort from blood draw.
How accurate is the test?
NGS technology provides high accuracy for detecting genetic mutations, but results should be interpreted clinically.
What should I do after receiving the results?
Consult a geneticist or healthcare provider to understand the implications and discuss management options.
