Understanding Your Results

Test results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the SLC2A9 gene associated with renal hypouricemia type 2.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected, confirming diagnosis of SLC2A9 gene hypouricemia, renal type 2. Carriers may also be identified.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected. Clinical correlation is needed as symptoms may have other causes.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

A variant with unknown clinical impact. Further testing or family studies may be required for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If experiencing symptoms like recurrent kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, gout, or joint pain, or with a family history of hypouricemia or renal disorders.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible variants in the SLC2A9 gene
  • Results require interpretation in clinical context and genetic counseling
  • Does not rule out other genetic causes of hypouricemia

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Potential psychological impact of genetic results; genetic counseling helps mitigate

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Inadequate DNA quantity or quality
  • Hemolyzed blood samples

What are the common symptoms of this condition?
Symptoms include recurrent kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, gout, joint pain, increased risk of urinary tract infections, and calcium oxalate kidney stones.
How is SLC2A9 Gene Hypouricemia diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, such as the NGS Genetic Test, which identifies mutations in the SLC2A9 gene from a blood or saliva sample.
What is the cost of the SLC2A9 NGS Genetic Test at DNA Labs India?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample collection available for this test?

How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
What do the test results indicate?
Results show whether pathogenic variants in the SLC2A9 gene are detected, which confirms the diagnosis, identifies carriers, or indicates the need for further evaluation.
Who should consider getting this genetic test?
Individuals with symptoms of hypouricemia, family history of renal disorders, or recurrent kidney stones, and those seeking carrier screening for family planning.
Can this test identify carriers of the gene mutation?
Yes, the test can detect carriers who may not have symptoms but can pass the mutation to their children.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw. Genetic counseling is provided to address psychological impacts of results.
