Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the SLC2A2 gene. Positive results confirm Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome; genetic counseling and management recommended

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

FBS unlikely based on genetic testing; consider other diagnoses

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms such as failure to thrive, hypoglycemia, or abdominal swelling are present, or if genetic test results are positive or uncertain.

How is Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and genetic testing, such as the SLC2A2 Gene NGS Genetic Test, to identify mutations in the SLC2A2 gene.
What are the symptoms of Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome?
Symptoms include failure to thrive, abdominal swelling, recurrent hypoglycemia, delayed growth, bone abnormalities, and enlarged liver and spleen.
What is the cost of the SLC2A2 Gene Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome NGS Genetic Test in India?

What is the inheritance pattern of Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome?
It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning both parents must be carriers of the mutated gene for a child to be affected.
Can this test detect other genetic disorders?
This test specifically targets the SLC2A2 gene for Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome; for other disorders, different genetic tests may be needed.
