Understanding VNTR Chimerism Study [PRE BMT] Cost and Diagnosis

What is VNTR Chimerism Study [PRE BMT]?

Before understanding VNTR Chimerism Study [PRE BMT], it’s essential to understand what chimerism means. Chimerism refers to the presence of two different sets of DNA in an individual.

Chimerism can be natural or acquired. Natural chimerism occurs when an individual develops from two separate fertilized eggs or when an embryo absorbs a twin. Acquired chimerism can occur after a bone marrow transplant (BMT) or stem cell transplant.

After a BMT, VNTR Chimerism Study [PRE BMT] is conducted to determine the ratio of donor to recipient cells. VNTR (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) analysis is a highly accurate and sensitive method to detect chimerism.

What are the Symptoms of Chimerism?

There are no specific symptoms of chimerism. However, in some cases, chimerism can cause autoimmune diseases or organ rejection. Therefore, it's crucial to detect and monitor chimerism after a BMT.

How is VNTR Chimerism Study [PRE BMT] Conducted?

VNTR Chimerism Study [PRE BMT] is conducted on a blood sample. The DNA is extracted from the blood cells, and VNTR analysis is performed. The results are expressed as a percentage of donor cells present in the recipient's blood.

The VNTR Chimerism Study [PRE BMT] cost in India is INR 7500.
