About This Test

Who Should Get This Test

To detect pathogenic mutations in the SERPINC1 gene for diagnosing hereditary antithrombin III deficiency, guiding clinical management, and informing family risk assessment.

How to Prepare

  • No fasting required; maintain ambient room temperature for sample
  • Ensure proper identification and labeling of sample
  • Follow aseptic techniques to avoid contamination
  • For FTA card, apply one drop of blood and air-dry completely

Doctor's Notes

Reviewed by — MBBS, MD (Medical Genetics) · Reg. No. 8532

"Genetic testing for SERPINC1 mutations is essential for diagnosing hereditary antithrombin deficiency, which increases the risk of thrombotic events. Early detection guides personalized anticoagulation therapy and family screening."

Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the SERPINC1 gene, which are associated with antithrombin III deficiency.
📊

Positive (Pathogenic Variant Detected)

Confirms diagnosis of hereditary antithrombin III deficiency. Increases risk of thrombotic events; clinical management and family screening recommended.

📊

Negative (No Pathogenic Variant Detected)

No SERPINC1 mutations identified. Does not rule out other causes of clotting disorders; clinical correlation with functional tests is advised.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Genetic variant detected with unclear clinical significance. Further testing, family studies, and genetic counseling are recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare provider if you experience symptoms like unexplained swelling, pain, shortness of breath, or chest pain, or have a family history of clotting disorders. Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible genetic variants or large deletions/duplications
  • Requires confirmation by Sanger sequencing for certain variants
  • Results should be correlated with clinical history and functional antithrombin assays
  • Genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation and family implications

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw: slight pain, bruising, or infection at puncture site
  • Genetic implications: potential psychological impact or family dynamics; genetic counseling recommended

Interfering Factors

  • Recent blood transfusions or anticoagulant therapy may affect sample quality
  • Sample contamination or improper storage
  • Presence of other genetic variants of uncertain significance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SERPINC1 Gene Antithrombin III Deficiency NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the SERPINC1 gene for mutations causing antithrombin III deficiency, a hereditary clotting disorder.
Why is this test recommended?
It is recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of unexplained blood clots, recurrent thrombotic events, or symptoms suggestive of antithrombin deficiency, to confirm diagnosis and guide treatment.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The cost is INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, which includes home sample collection across India.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to detect mutations in the SERPINC1 gene. The process is non-invasive and requires no special preparation.
What sample is required for the test?
Blood (3-5 mL in EDTA tube), extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card can be used.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required. The test can be done at any time without dietary restrictions.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the results mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic SERPINC1 mutation, confirming antithrombin III deficiency. A negative result means no mutation was detected, but clinical correlation is advised. Variants of uncertain significance may require further evaluation.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The risks are minimal, similar to a standard blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising. Genetic testing may have psychological implications, so genetic counseling is recommended.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance provider and policy. It is advisable to check with your insurer for pre-authorization and eligibility.
Can I get home sample collection for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across numerous cities in India.
How should I interpret the results?
Results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional or genetic counselor in the context of your clinical history and family background. They can guide further management and family screening.
