Specialist Alignment & Pre‑Test Preparation
Three Referral Pathways:
- General Physician / Primary Care Doctor – first clinical suspicion, initial workup, and referral for genetic testing.
- Clinical Geneticist – variant interpretation, pedigree analysis, and family risk counselling.
- Neurologist – neurodevelopmental assessment, seizure management, and encephalopathy treatment planning.
Pre‑Test Requirements: Provide a complete clinical history. A genetic counselling session is strongly recommended to document a three‑generation pedigree of affected family members. Sample can be collected as whole blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. No fasting or medication changes are required unless directed by your doctor. Do not collect during acute febrile illness.
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“The SLC6A9 genetic test can confirm glycine encephalopathy with normal serum glycine, but a negative result does not exclude all metabolic aetiologies. Always interpret the finding alongside the patient’s clinical picture. Please discuss the outcome with a clinical geneticist or neurologist for integrated care.”
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active high fever or acute infection (postpone collection).
- Inability to provide informed consent or legal guardian consent for minors.
- Recent traumatic brain injury or severe metabolic decompensation.
- Seek emergency care immediately if: new‑onset seizures, sudden loss of consciousness, or severe respiratory distress occur before or after testing.
