Understanding Your Results

The results of this analysis are interpreted by clinical geneticists and bioinformaticians. Variants are classified based on their potential impact on gene function and association with known phenotypes.
📊

Variant is associated with a disease phenotype; clinical correlation recommended.

📊

Variant is likely to be disease-causing; further evidence may be needed.

📊

Insufficient evidence to determine pathogenicity; additional family studies may be helpful.

📊

Variant is not associated with disease.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have a family history of genetic disorders, are planning a family, or are involved in research requiring genomic data, consult a geneticist or your healthcare provider to discuss the appropriateness of this test.

Limitations

  • Reference-based analysis may miss novel variants not present in the reference
  • Structural variants in repetitive regions may be difficult to detect
  • Interpretation of variants of unknown significance may be limited
  • Not a diagnostic test for specific diseases without clinical correlation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
  • No significant health risks associated with the test itself

Interfering Factors

  • Poor DNA quality or degradation
  • Contamination with non-target DNA
  • Insufficient sequencing depth
  • Reference genome inaccuracies
  • Bioinformatics pipeline variations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vertebrate Genome Reference Based Data Analysis?
It is a high-throughput sequencing test that compares an individual vertebrate's genome to a reference genome to identify genetic variations such as SNPs, indels, and structural variants.
What is the cost of this test at DNA Labs India?
The cost is INR 50000, which includes bioinformatics analysis and a comprehensive report.
What sample is required for this test?
A whole blood sample (2-3 ml in EDTA) or extracted DNA (1-2 µg) is required.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this test.
How long does it take to get the results?
The turnaround time is approximately 4 weeks from sample receipt.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
What kind of genetic variations can be detected?
The test detects single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), structural variants, and copy number variations.
Can this test be used for disease diagnosis?
It can identify variants associated with disease susceptibility, but it is not a diagnostic test for a specific disease without clinical correlation.
Is this test suitable for research purposes?
Yes, it is widely used in evolutionary biology, population genetics, and conservation research.
What is the role of the Illumina platform in this test?
Illumina sequencing provides high accuracy and high throughput, enabling comprehensive genome coverage and reliable variant detection.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The only risk is minimal bruising or infection at the blood draw site, which is rare.
How should I interpret the results?
Results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or healthcare provider, who will explain the clinical significance of any variants found.
