About this service

A high-precision molecular test that sequences the FAS gene to identify genetic mutations causing ALPS, aiding in the diagnosis of chronic lymphadenopathy and immune dysregulation.

Clinical Significance

Confirms the diagnosis of Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS).
Identifies genetic mutations in the FAS gene responsible for cell apoptosis.
Differentiates ALPS from other similar lymphoproliferative disorders.

Indications for Testing

Chronic unexplained lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly.
Early-onset multiple autoimmune diseases.
Family history of ALPS or known FAS gene mutations.

Procedure Steps

Collection of a standard venous blood sample.
Extraction of DNA from blood cells.
Utilization of advanced sequencing techniques to analyze the FAS gene.

What is included?

✓Blood sample collection
✓DNA sequencing analysis
✓Detailed laboratory report

Conditions and notices

Fasting is not required
Please provide family medical history if available
No prior dietary preparations required

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• What is ALPS syndrome evaluated by this test?

ALPS is a rare genetic immune disorder causing excessive lymphocyte accumulation and enlarged lymph nodes.

• How does the FAS gene test support diagnosis?

It detects mutations that prevent old lymphocytes from dying, which is the primary cause of most ALPS cases.

• Is fasting required before the sample collection?

No, this genetic test does not require fasting and can be performed at any time of the day.

• Can this test be performed on children?

Yes, it is commonly ordered for children presenting with chronic splenomegaly or lymphadenopathy.

• How long does it take to receive genetic results?

Due to the complexity of DNA sequencing, results typically take between two to four weeks.

• Is home sample collection available for this test?

Yes, a lab professional can visit your home to collect the blood sample required for this analysis.
