Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the TNNI2 gene. Positive results confirm a diagnosis of distal arthrogryposis type 2B, while negative results may require further testing.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of TNNI2-related distal arthrogryposis type 2B. Genetic counseling and management recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected in TNNI2 gene. Consider other genetic causes or clinical evaluation.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or specialist if symptoms of arthrogryposis are present, for family planning if there is a family history, or after receiving test results for guidance.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • No significant risks associated with genetic testing itself

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
  • Incorrect sample collection or storage

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TNNI2 Gene Arthrogryposis, distal, type 2B NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the TNNI2 gene for mutations causing distal arthrogryposis type 2B, a rare congenital joint disorder.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with symptoms like joint contractures, muscle weakness, or a family history of arthrogryposis should consider this test for diagnosis.
How is the test performed?
The test involves collecting a blood sample or DNA extract, which is then analyzed using NGS technology to detect TNNI2 gene mutations.
What are the symptoms of TNNI2-related arthrogryposis?
Symptoms include joint contractures, muscle weakness, difficulty in movement, scoliosis, clubfoot, and camptodactyly.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
What do positive results mean?
Positive results confirm a diagnosis of distal arthrogryposis type 2B due to TNNI2 gene mutations, guiding management and genetic counseling.
What if the test results are negative?
Negative results may indicate no TNNI2 mutations, but further testing or clinical evaluation might be needed if symptoms persist.
Is genetic counseling recommended?
Yes, genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to understand implications and family planning.
How accurate is this test?
The test uses advanced NGS technology for high accuracy, but results should be interpreted by a genetic specialist in clinical context.
