Test Parameters & Specifications

Sample TypeBlood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Sample VolumeAs per requirement
ContainerAppropriate container as per sample type (e.g., EDTA tube for blood)
Collection MethodVenipuncture for blood; FTA card for drop blood

Sample Stability

Blood samples stable at room temperature for 24 hours
Extracted DNA stable at -20°C for long-term storage
Sample Rejection Criteria:
  • Hemolyzed or clotted samples
  • Insufficient sample volume
  • Improperly labeled or contaminated samples

Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the SUFU gene. A positive result confirms BCNS diagnosis, while a negative result may require further clinical evaluation.
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected, indicating BCNS; refer for clinical management
Negative: No pathogenic variant detected; consider other genetic or clinical causes
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): Requires further investigation and genetic counseling
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare professional immediately if you have symptoms of BCNS, a family history, or after receiving test results for proper diagnosis and management.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications

  • ⚠Genetic counseling is recommended for result interpretation

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results; genetic counseling recommended

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Degraded DNA quality

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the SUFU gene for mutations associated with Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome (BCNS).
How much does the test cost?
The test costs INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available.
What sample is required for the test?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card can be used.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 2-3 weeks after sample receipt.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What are the symptoms of Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome?
Symptoms include multiple basal cell carcinomas, skin pits, bone abnormalities like jaw cysts, and benign tumors in ovaries or testicles.
How is the test performed?
The test involves collecting a blood sample, extracting DNA, and using NGS technology to sequence the SUFU gene for mutations.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic variant in the SUFU gene, confirming BCNS diagnosis and guiding clinical management.
Can the test detect all mutations in the SUFU gene?
NGS is comprehensive but may not detect all mutation types, such as large structural variants; genetic counseling is advised.
Is genetic counseling provided?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is included to draw a pedigree chart and discuss results.
What should I do before getting tested?
Provide clinical history and family pedigree chart; consult a healthcare professional for pre-test counseling.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting point mutations and small indels in the SUFU gene, but accuracy depends on sample quality and lab protocols.
