Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the TNFRSF13C gene. A positive result confirms genetic predisposition to CVID4, while a negative result may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of TNFRSF13C-related CVID4. Recommend immunoglobulin therapy and genetic counseling.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further testing or family studies may be needed. Clinical correlation is advised.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Does not rule out CVID4 entirely; consider other genetic or clinical causes.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience recurrent infections, chronic symptoms suggestive of immunodeficiency, or have a family history of CVID. Genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or structural changes
  • Results require interpretation by a geneticist or healthcare provider
  • Does not rule out other immunodeficiency disorders
  • Genetic counseling is essential for understanding implications

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor pain or bruising at the blood draw site
  • Rare risk of infection or fainting
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality (e.g., hemolyzed blood)
  • Contamination during sample collection or processing
  • Insufficient DNA quantity
  • Recent blood transfusions may affect results

What is the TNFRSF13C Gene Immunodeficiency Common Variable Type 4 NGS Genetic Test?
This test uses next-generation sequencing to detect mutations in the TNFRSF13C gene, which causes Common Variable Immunodeficiency type 4 (CVID4), a disorder leading to recurrent infections due to impaired antibody production.
Who should consider this genetic test?
Individuals with recurrent infections, chronic diarrhea, autoimmune disorders, or a family history of immunodeficiency should consider this test for early diagnosis and management.
What is the cost of the test at DNA Labs India?
The test costs INR 20,000, which includes sample collection, genetic analysis, and report delivery.
How is the sample collected for this test?
A blood sample is collected via venipuncture or finger-prick onto an FTA card. Home collection is available across India.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the test results indicate?
Results show whether pathogenic mutations in the TNFRSF13C gene are detected, confirming CVID4 diagnosis. Genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as minor bruising. Psychological impacts of genetic results should be discussed with a counselor.
Can this test be done at home?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings in many cities across India.
What should I do if the test is positive?
