Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the Spastic Paraplegia Panel (NGS) Genetic Test and who should take it?
This NGS panel sequences all genes linked to hereditary spastic paraplegia to detect pathogenic variants. It is recommended for individuals with progressive lower limb spasticity, gait disturbance, or a positive family history. A referral from a neurologist or geneticist is preferred.
2. How is the sample collected and what are the pre-test requirements?
A simple blood draw (whole blood in EDTA tube) is collected at home by a certified phlebotomist via our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service. No fasting or medication changes are required. You must complete a detailed clinical history form and, if possible, provide a family pedigree chart.
3. Will my health insurance cover the AED 3000 cost?
Most UAE health insurance plans cover genetic testing with prior approval directly from your provider. Our team verifies your coverage via WhatsApp at +971545488731 before the test so there are no unexpected charges.
