Understanding Your Results

Results from the SRCAP Gene NGS test indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the SRCAP gene associated with Floating-Harbor Syndrome, aiding in diagnosis and management.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Floating-Harbor Syndrome. Genetic counseling recommended for family planning and management.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Floating-Harbor Syndrome is unlikely based on this gene, but clinical correlation is needed. Consider other genetic tests if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing, family studies, or functional analysis may be required for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or pediatrician if symptoms of Floating-Harbor Syndrome are present, such as short stature, delayed speech, or distinct facial features, or if there is a family history of the condition.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variants, such as large deletions or duplications
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
  • Does not rule out other genetic disorders with similar symptoms

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection at the puncture site
  • No significant risks associated with the genetic analysis itself

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality or contamination
  • Insufficient DNA yield from sample
  • Improper sample storage or handling

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Floating-Harbor Syndrome?
Floating-Harbor Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects skeletal growth, speech development, and intellectual ability, caused by mutations in the SRCAP gene.
What causes Floating-Harbor Syndrome?
It is caused by mutations in the SRCAP gene, which plays a role in regulating gene expression and protein formation in the body.
What are the common symptoms of FHS?
Common symptoms include short stature, delayed bone growth, delayed speech, distinct facial features, intellectual disability, and physical abnormalities like cleft palate or hearing loss.
How is Floating-Harbor Syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and genetic testing, such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), to identify mutations in the SRCAP gene.
What is the SRCAP Gene NGS Genetic Test?
It is a Next Generation Sequencing test that analyzes the entire SRCAP gene to detect mutations associated with Floating-Harbor Syndrome.
What is the cost of the SRCAP Gene NGS test at DNA Labs India?
The test costs INR 20,000, which includes comprehensive analysis and home sample collection across India.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across numerous cities in India.
How long does it take to receive the test results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the test results indicate?
Results indicate whether pathogenic variants in the SRCAP gene are detected, confirming or ruling out Floating-Harbor Syndrome, with interpretation guidance provided.
Is genetic counseling included with the test?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is included to discuss results, implications, and family planning.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
This test is primarily for postnatal diagnosis; prenatal testing may require specialized procedures and consultation with a genetic specialist.
What are the limitations of the SRCAP Gene NGS test?
Limitations include potential inability to detect all variant types, need for expert interpretation, and it does not assess other genetic conditions.
