Test Overview & Methodology
The COG6 Gene Genetic Test identifies pathogenic variants in the COG6 gene responsible for Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type 3 (CDG Type 3), an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder with multisystem involvement. Our platform uses Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina) to achieve full gene coverage, detecting SNVs, indels, and CNVs with high sensitivity.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage, detection of SNVs, indels, CNVs | Sanger sequencing โ limited to known hotspots |
| Method | Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina platform) | Capillary electrophoresis / single-exon walking |
| Speed | 3โ4 Weeks | 6โ8 Weeks (for full gene coverage) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โA COG6 mutation result must be interpreted alongside clinical symptoms such as hypotonia, seizures, and liver dysfunction. I advise families to view this test as a starting point for a comprehensive metabolic and neurological evaluation. A negative result does not exclude other glycosylation defects.โ

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What conditions does the COG6 gene test detect?
This test detects pathogenic mutations in COG6 causing Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type 3, an inherited metabolic condition impacting multiple organs.
2. How is the test performed and how long does it take?
A simple blood draw or FTA card sample is sequenced using Next Generation Sequencing, with results delivered in 3 to 4 weeks. Home phlebotomy is available daily.
3. Does this require insurance preโapproval?
Our team verifies coverage directly via WhatsApp at +971545488731, and home collection is available for insured and selfโpay patients alike.
