Frequently Asked Questions

What is Glass syndrome?
Glass syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the SATB2 gene, leading to developmental abnormalities of the skull, face, and brain.
What does the SATB2 Gene Glass Syndrome NGS Genetic Test involve?
It involves sequencing the SATB2 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify mutations associated with Glass syndrome.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms like small head size, high forehead, small jaw, dental problems, speech delays, or developmental delays, and those with a family history of Glass syndrome.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000, which includes genetic counseling and support services.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection across many cities in India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What sample type is required?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What are the risks of the test?
The risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic testing itself poses no significant risks.
How accurate is the test?
The test uses NGS technology, which is highly accurate for detecting mutations in the SATB2 gene, but results should be correlated with clinical findings.
Can the test detect all mutations in the SATB2 gene?
While NGS is comprehensive, it may not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications, which may require additional testing.
What should I do if the test is positive?
Consult a geneticist or healthcare provider for further evaluation, management options, and genetic counseling for family planning.
