Symptoms include recurrent viral infections, frequent fevers, swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver and spleen, autoimmune conditions like HLH, and higher cancer risk.
How is XLP-2 diagnosed?
Diagnosis is through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic testing of the XIAP gene, typically using blood or bone marrow samples.
What is the cost of the NGS Genetic Test for XLP-2 in India?
The test costs approximately INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, with home sample collection available.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by provider; it is advisable to check with your insurance company for genetic testing benefits.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
