Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the SUFU gene.
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected – increased risk for meningioma
Negative: No pathogenic variants detected – lower risk, but not zero
Variant of uncertain significance: Further testing may be needed
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have a family history of meningioma, experience symptoms like headaches or seizures, or receive a positive genetic test result.

Limitations

  • Test may not detect all genetic variants
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor
  • Not a diagnostic test for active meningioma, but for susceptibility

Risks & Considerations

  • Psychological impact of results
  • Privacy concerns with genetic data
  • Potential for false positives or negatives

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SUFU Gene Meningioma NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the SUFU gene, which are linked to familial meningioma susceptibility.
Who should get this test?
Individuals with a family history of meningioma, symptoms like headaches or seizures, or those diagnosed with meningioma.
How is the test performed?
A blood or saliva sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to identify SUFU gene mutations.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the SUFU gene, increasing the risk of developing meningioma.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000 at DNA Labs India.
Is home collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks.
Is genetic counseling required?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to understand the implications.
What are the symptoms of SUFU gene meningioma?
Symptoms include headaches, seizures, memory loss, confusion, blurred vision, nausea, and weakness or numbness in limbs.
Can this test diagnose active meningioma?
No, this test identifies genetic susceptibility, not active tumors. Imaging tests like MRI are used for diagnosis.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your insurance plan. Check with your provider for details.
How accurate is the NGS technology?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting genetic mutations, but results should be interpreted by a genetic counselor.
