Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the SBDS gene. Positive results confirm genetic predisposition to Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and associated aplastic anemia.
📊

No pathogenic variants detected

Normal result; low genetic risk for SDS-related aplastic anemia.

📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Positive for SBDS gene mutation; diagnosis of SDS likely, requiring clinical correlation and monitoring.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of aplastic anemia or Shwachman-Diamond syndrome are present, or if there is a family history of these conditions.

Limitations

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

Risks & Considerations

  • Bruising at the blood draw site
  • Rare risk of infection
  • Minimal discomfort

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Incorrect sample handling

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SBDS gene?
The SBDS gene provides instructions for making a protein involved in ribosome biogenesis and blood cell production. Mutations can lead to Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
What is aplastic anemia?
Aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells, causing fatigue, infections, and bleeding.
How is the SBDS gene test performed?
The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from a blood sample for mutations in the SBDS gene.
What is the cost of the SBDS gene test in India?
The cost is INR 20000, which includes sample collection and analysis at DNA Labs India.
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 within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of aplastic anemia or Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, or those with a family history of these conditions.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the SBDS gene, suggesting a diagnosis of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and associated risks.
Is genetic counseling required?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to understand implications and guide decisions.
Are there any risks to the test?
The test involves a standard blood draw, with minimal risks like bruising or infection at the site.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
It may be used in family studies, but prenatal testing requires specific consultation with a genetic specialist.
What files are provided with the report?
DNA Labs India provides raw data, FASTQ, and VCF files along with the clinical test report for transparency.
