Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the TACR3 gene, which are associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism type 11.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected, consistent with diagnosis of TACR3-related hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected; clinical correlation is recommended as symptoms may be due to other causes.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown; further testing or family studies may be required.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms such as delayed puberty, infertility, or anosmia, or have a family history of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, consult a geneticist or endocrinologist for evaluation and possible testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variants
  • Results require genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Not a substitute for comprehensive clinical evaluation

Risks & Considerations

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

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Incorrect sample type or collection method

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TACR3 Gene Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Type 11?
It is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TACR3 gene, leading to impaired sex hormone production and symptoms like delayed puberty and infertility.
What are the symptoms of this condition?
Common symptoms include delayed puberty, infertility, low sex hormone levels, reduced muscle mass, decreased bone density, reduced body hair, and loss of sense of smell (anosmia).
How is the condition diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, specifically the NGS Genetic Test, which detects mutations in the TACR3 gene.
What is the NGS Genetic Test?
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a highly sensitive and specific technology used to analyze genetic material for mutations, such as in the TACR3 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost of the TACR3 Gene NGS Genetic Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test across many cities in India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of a pathogenic variant in the TACR3 gene, confirming the diagnosis of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism type 11.
What should I do after receiving the results?
Consult with a genetic counselor or physician to understand the results and discuss management options, such as hormone therapy.
Is genetic counseling necessary?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to interpret results and provide guidance on implications for the patient and family.
