Sample Collection
Provide detailed clinical history of the patient and undergo a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with cystic fibrosis or related disorders.
Method: Venipuncture or FTA card application
Laboratory Analysis
A blood sample is drawn from a vein using standard venipuncture, or a drop of blood is applied to an FTA card under aseptic conditions.
Report Delivery
The sample is labeled, stored at ambient room temperature, and transported to the laboratory for DNA extraction and NGS analysis.
Timeline: Reports are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt.

Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted blood samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Contaminated or mislabeled samples
- Incorrect sample type for the requested test
Understanding Your Results
Positive
Pathogenic variants detected in SLC6A14 gene, which may increase cystic fibrosis risk or modify symptoms. Genetic counseling recommended.
Negative
No pathogenic variants detected in SLC6A14 gene. However, this does not rule out cystic fibrosis if CFTR mutations are present.
Variant of Uncertain Significance
Genetic change identified, but its clinical impact is unknown. Further testing or family studies may be advised.
Consult a geneticist or pulmonologist if mutations are detected, if symptoms persist despite negative results, or for personalized management of cystic fibrosis.
Limitations
- ⚠Not all genetic variants may be detected due to technical limitations
- ⚠Results do not confirm clinical diagnosis alone and require correlation with symptoms
- ⚠Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) may require further investigation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, soreness, or infection at the collection site
- ●No risk from FTA card collection method
- ●Psychological impact from test results, mitigated through genetic counseling
Interfering Factors
- ●Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
- ●Incorrect sample type or collection method
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect results
