Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the TPI1 gene. A positive result confirms TPI deficiency, while a negative result suggests no known mutations, but clinical correlation is advised.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of TPI deficiency. Consult a hematologist for management.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected. Consider other causes of hemolytic anemia.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like persistent anemia, fatigue, jaundice, or have a family history of TPI deficiency. After testing, discuss results with a genetic counselor or hematologist for personalized care.

Limitations

  • May not detect all rare variants
  • Results require clinical correlation
  • Does not rule out other causes of hemolytic anemia

Risks & Considerations

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

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality
  • Contaminated DNA
  • Recent blood transfusions may affect results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TPI deficiency?
TPI deficiency is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TPI1 gene, leading to reduced triosephosphate isomerase enzyme activity and hemolytic anemia.
How is TPI deficiency diagnosed?
It is diagnosed through an NGS genetic test that analyzes the TPI1 gene for mutations, often accompanied by clinical evaluation and blood tests.
What are the symptoms of TPI deficiency?
Common symptoms include anemia, fatigue, jaundice, enlarged spleen, and increased risk of infections.
What is the cost of the TPI1 Gene NGS Genetic Test?
The test costs INR 20000, with home sample collection available across India.
Is home collection available for this test?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What sample types are accepted?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card are accepted.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not typically required, but follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
Can this test be used for prenatal diagnosis?
Consult a genetic counselor; prenatal testing may be possible but requires specialized procedures.
What treatments are available for TPI deficiency?
Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, such as blood transfusions for anemia or bone marrow transplant in severe cases.
Is genetic counseling recommended?
Yes, genetic counseling is advised to understand inheritance patterns, family risks, and implications of test results.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS technology provides high accuracy for detecting mutations, but results should be interpreted in clinical context.
