Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the TG gene. A positive result confirms thyroid dyshormonogenesis type 3, while a negative result may require further testing.
📊

Mutation Detected

Diagnosis of thyroid dyshormonogenesis type 3; consult endocrinologist for management.

📊

No Mutation Detected

Unlikely to have TG gene-related disorder; consider other causes of symptoms.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of thyroid disorder persist or if genetic test results are positive, consult an endocrinologist for personalized treatment and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants
  • Results require clinical correlation
  • Not a standalone diagnostic tool

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Technical errors in sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is thyroid dyshormonogenesis type 3?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TG gene, leading to impaired thyroid hormone production and hypothyroidism.
What causes this disorder?
Mutations in the TG gene, which encodes thyroglobulin essential for thyroid hormone synthesis.
What are the common symptoms in adults?
Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, cold intolerance, depression, and decreased libido.
What symptoms occur in infants?
Infants may show jaundice, poor feeding, hypotonia (low muscle tone), and delayed development.
How is thyroid dyshormonogenesis type 3 diagnosed?
Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing, specifically the TG Gene NGS Genetic Test, which detects mutations in the TG gene.
What does the TG Gene test involve?
The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze the TG gene from a blood or DNA sample.
How much does the test cost in India?
The cost is approximately INR 20,000, with possible variations by laboratory.
Is the test covered by health insurance?
Some insurance plans may cover genetic testing; check with your provider for specific coverage details.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available in 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What are the risks of the test?
Risks are minimal, mainly related to blood draw (e.g., bruising), and potential psychological impact of results.
Who should consider getting tested?
Individuals with symptoms of thyroid disorders, family history of thyroid issues, or infants with developmental delays.
How accurate is the genetic test?
The test is highly accurate for detecting known mutations in the TG gene, but results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional.
