Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the SNCA gene. A positive result suggests an increased genetic risk for Parkinson's disease, while a negative result indicates no detectable mutations in this gene.
📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected in the SNCA gene, suggesting lower genetic risk for Parkinson's disease associated with this gene.

📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected in the SNCA gene, indicating increased genetic risk for Parkinson's disease. Genetic counseling and clinical correlation are recommended.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

A genetic variant identified but not yet classified as pathogenic. Further testing and family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have a family history of Parkinson's disease, experience symptoms like tremors, stiffness, or movement difficulties, or if the test result is positive or shows a variant of uncertain significance.

Limitations

  • ⚠Tests only the SNCA gene, not other genes associated with Parkinson's disease
  • ⚠Does not confirm a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
  • ⚠Results may vary based on sample quality and laboratory factors

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as slight pain, bruising, or infection at the collection site
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic risk information

Interfering Factors

  • ●DNA degradation due to improper sample storage
  • ●Sample contamination during collection
  • ●Insufficient DNA quantity for analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SNCA Gene PARK1 Parkinson NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the SNCA gene for mutations associated with Parkinson's disease.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample or extracted DNA is collected and analyzed in the lab using NGS technology to detect mutations in the SNCA gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 20000, which includes home sample collection and genetic counseling.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home collection for this test across many cities in India.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a mutation in the SNCA gene, increasing the genetic risk for Parkinson's disease, but it does not confirm diagnosis.
How accurate is the test?
The test uses advanced NGS technology, which is highly accurate for detecting genetic mutations, though clinical correlation is essential.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with a family history of Parkinson's, early-onset symptoms, or those undergoing genetic counseling for neurological disorders.
What are the symptoms of Parkinson's disease?
Common symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, impaired balance, and coordination difficulties.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
Is genetic counseling included?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is part of the pre-test process to draw a family pedigree chart and discuss implications.
Can this test diagnose Parkinson's disease?
No, this test identifies genetic risk factors. Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is based on clinical evaluation by a neurologist.
What are the risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal and primarily related to blood draw, such as bruising or infection. Genetic results may have psychological implications.
