Test Overview & Methodology
The IKBKB Gene Immunodeficiency Type 15 Genetic Test identifies pathogenic mutations in the IKBKB gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), enabling definitive diagnosis and personalised care for combined immunodeficiency. This molecular analysis provides single-nucleotide resolution across the entire coding region, detecting pathogenic variants and variants of uncertain significance (VUS).
| Feature | Our Test IKBKB Genetic Test |
Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Single-nucleotide resolution; pathogenic & VUS detection across entire IKBKB coding region | Immunophenotyping & clinical criteria alone โ high false-negative rate for atypical presentations |
| Method | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with full bioinformatic curation (ISO 9001:2015) | Flow cytometry, immunoglobulin levels, lymphocyte proliferation assays |
| Speed / TAT | 21โ28 Business Days for comprehensive report | 1โ2 weeks for preliminary immune workup; no genetic confirmation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"A suspected primary immunodeficiency can be an uncertain and worrying time for any family. This targeted NGS analysis provides a definitive molecular diagnosis, enabling precise treatment planning, surveillance for complications, and accurate genetic counselling for relatives. Results must always be interpreted alongside the full clinical history and immunological workup."

Medication Advisory
Important Notice
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or immunotherapy without consulting your treating physician. Genetic test results must not be used to self-adjust treatment. Always discuss findings with your specialist before making any changes to your care plan.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Inability to provide informed consent (patient or legal guardian); absolute contraindication to venipuncture (severe coagulopathy without correction).
- Exclusion: For home collection, patient must be haemodynamically stable and not acutely unwell.
- ER Red Flag: If you experience high fever, uncontrolled infection, severe respiratory distress, or signs of sepsis, seek immediate emergency careโdo not delay for genetic testing.
- Red Flag: The test cannot replace urgent immunological evaluation in acutely decompensating patients.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the IKBKB NGS test diagnose?
This test identifies mutations in the IKBKB gene that cause autosomal recessive immunodeficiency type 15, a combined immune defect leading to recurrent infections, severe eczema, and autoimmunity. The result confirms or rules out this specific genetic form of primary immunodeficiency.
2. How is the DNA sample collected, and is a hospital visit necessary?
A simple blood draw or a single drop of blood on an FTA card is all that is required. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service brings a trained nurse to your home between 8 AM and 11 PM daily, with temperature-controlled cold-chain transport to the laboratory.
3. How will I receive my results, and what do they mean clinically?
Your comprehensive report will classify the variant as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or a variant of uncertain significance, accompanied by a telephonic consultation with a genetics specialist to explain the impact on your diagnosis and family risk. The full report is typically available within 21โ28 business days.
4. Can this test be used for family screening or prenatal diagnosis?
Yes, once a pathogenic IKBKB variant is identified in a proband, targeted testing can be offered to at-risk family members and can inform reproductive planning. A separate genetic counselling session is required before any prenatal testing.
