Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the XDH gene. Positive results confirm Xanthinuria type 1, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Xanthinuria type 1; genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Xanthinuria type 1 unlikely based on genetic testing; consider other diagnoses.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarity.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms like recurrent kidney stones, muscle weakness, or joint pain, or have a family history of Xanthinuria, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and possible genetic testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or rearrangements
  • Results require interpretation by a geneticist
  • Not a standalone diagnostic tool; clinical correlation is needed

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality or contamination
  • Hemolyzed blood samples
  • Insufficient DNA quantity

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Xanthinuria type 1?
Xanthinuria type 1 is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the XDH gene, leading to deficiency in xanthine dehydrogenase enzyme and accumulation of xanthine, which can cause kidney stones and other symptoms.
What causes Xanthinuria type 1?
It is caused by mutations in the XDH gene, which encodes the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase essential for purine metabolism.
What are the symptoms of Xanthinuria type 1?
Common symptoms include kidney stones, muscle weakness, joint pain, yellowish discoloration of eyes and skin, and developmental delay in some cases.
How is Xanthinuria type 1 diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation of symptoms and genetic testing, such as the XDH Gene NGS Genetic Test, to confirm mutations in the XDH gene.
What is the XDH Gene Xanthinuria Type 1 NGS Genetic Test?
It is a next-generation sequencing test that analyzes the XDH gene for mutations to diagnose Xanthinuria type 1 accurately.
How much does the test cost at DNA Labs India?
The cost of the XDH Gene Xanthinuria Type 1 NGS Genetic Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000, with free home sample collection available.
