Clinical Overview & Comparator
The GABRG2 Gene Dravet Syndrome Genetic Test provides comprehensive sequencing of the gamma‑aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit gamma2 gene, identifying pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants that confirm a diagnosis of Dravet syndrome (severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy). في الإمارات العربية المتحدة، يوفر هذا التحليل دقة تشخيصية عالية ويُعتبر جزءاً أساسياً من تقييم الصرع المقاوم للعلاج.
| Parameter | Our Test (ISO 9001:2015) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) with full gene coverage, CNV detection & variant classification per ACMG guidelines | Sanger sequencing of select exons (limited sensitivity) |
| Sample Type | Whole Blood (1–4 mL EDTA), Extracted DNA, or Dry Blood Spot on FTA Card | Whole Blood (larger volumes often required) |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 5 to 8 Weeks |
| Specialist Review | Neurologist & Medical Geneticist interpretation included | Laboratory report only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a practicing neurologist, I emphasise that genetic testing for GABRG2 must be paired with thorough clinical phenotyping. A positive result confirms the aetiology, but management decisions should always integrate seizure semiology and developmental trajectory.” — Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA-Registered Neurologist (License: 61713011).
Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue any prescribed anti‑epileptic drugs or other medications without prior consultation with your treating physician. Abrupt withdrawal can precipitate life‑threatening status epilepticus.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active febrile illness requiring hospitalisation; known coagulopathy preventing venipuncture; inability to provide informed consent (for minors, consent per UAE CDS Law).
- Emergency: If the patient experiences prolonged seizure (>5 minutes), febrile status epilepticus, or significant motor decline after sampling, seek immediate emergency medical care rather than awaiting the genetic result.
- Data Privacy: All genetic data are stored and processed in compliance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87) and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How does this NGS test confirm Dravet syndrome, and is 2800 AED worth it?
The test detects pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the GABRG2 gene with 99.9% sensitivity, providing definitive molecular confirmation of Dravet syndrome (G40.834) and guiding personalised anti‑epileptic strategies.
2. كم تستغرق نتيجة تحليل جين GABRG2 لمتلازمة دريفت، وهل يمكن استخدام بقعة دم على بطاقة FTA؟
تستغرق النتيجة النهائية من 3 إلى 4 أسابيع، ويُقبل استخدام بقعة دم صغيرة على بطاقة FTA بدلاً من عينة الدم الوريدي مما يسهل جمع العينة من الأطفال.
3. What pre‑ steps are required before the blood draw?
A genetic counselling session is mandatory to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members and obtain informed consent; no fasting is required, but please inform the phlebotomist about any blood‑thinning medications.
