Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the TANC1 gene associated with psychomotor retardation.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected, indicating genetic cause for psychomotor retardation.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant detected, but clinical correlation needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing may be required for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of psychomotor retardation are present, or if there is a family history of similar conditions, consult a neurologist or geneticist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TANC1 Gene Psychomotor Retardation NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to identify mutations in the TANC1 gene associated with psychomotor retardation.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms of psychomotor retardation, such as slow movements or slurred speech, or those with a family history of neurological disorders.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to detect mutations in the TANC1 gene.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
What is the turnaround time for results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings.
What are the symptoms of psychomotor retardation?
Symptoms include slow movements, difficulty initiating movement, slurred speech, difficulty processing information, poor memory, and difficulty with problem-solving.
How can mutations in the TANC1 gene lead to psychomotor retardation?
Mutations in the TANC1 gene disrupt synaptic development in the brain, affecting neuron connections and leading to psychomotor retardation.
What is the role of NGS technology in this test?
NGS technology allows for accurate and efficient analysis of large amounts of DNA data to identify genetic mutations.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks, such as minor discomfort from blood draw, but may have psychological impacts due to genetic results.
How should I prepare for the test?
Provide clinical history and attend a genetic counseling session for pedigree chart drawing before sample collection.
What do the test results mean?
Results indicate whether pathogenic variants in the TANC1 gene are detected, which can confirm a genetic cause for psychomotor retardation.
