Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the SLC20A2 gene, aiding in diagnosis.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of SLC20A2 gene basal ganglia calcification type 1; consider management and genetic counseling.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Suggests no genetic cause identified in SLC20A2; evaluate for other etiologies or consider additional testing.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms such as cognitive impairment, movement disorders, or psychiatric abnormalities are present, or if there is a family history of basal ganglia calcification, consult a neurologist or geneticist.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising at blood draw site
  • ●Rare infection at needle site

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SLC20A2 Gene Basal Ganglia Calcification Type 1?
It is a rare neurological disorder caused by mutations in the SLC20A2 gene, leading to calcium deposits in the basal ganglia and symptoms like cognitive impairment and movement disorders.
What are the common symptoms of this disorder?
Symptoms include cognitive impairment, psychiatric abnormalities, movement disorders, headaches, seizures, stiffness, rigidity, tremors, and loss of coordination.
How is SLC20A2 Gene Basal Ganglia Calcification Type 1 diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, imaging tests (CT or MRI) to detect calcifications, and genetic testing to identify mutations in the SLC20A2 gene.
What is NGS genetic testing?
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an advanced technology that analyzes multiple genes simultaneously, providing comprehensive and accurate genetic analysis for disorders like basal ganglia calcification.
What is the cost of the SLC20A2 NGS genetic test in India?
The cost is INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, which includes home sample collection and a detailed clinical report.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires a blood sample, 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.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test for SLC20A2?
NGS testing is highly accurate for detecting mutations in the SLC20A2 gene, providing reliable diagnostic confirmation.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This test is primarily for diagnostic purposes in affected individuals; prenatal testing may require specialized genetic counseling and different approaches.
What should I do if the test result is positive?
A positive result confirms the diagnosis; consult a neurologist or geneticist for management options, treatment, and genetic counseling for family planning.
