Test Overview & Methodology
This NGS-based genetic test analyzes the entire APOE gene to detect pathogenic mutations causing Sea-Blue Histiocyte Disease, a rare lipid storage disorder marked by ceroid-laden macrophages. The test employs high-depth next-generation sequencing on the Illumina platform with GRCh38/hg38 alignment.
| Feature | Our Test (APOE NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% Diagnostic Sensitivity, including CNV detection | Limited to known exons, lower detection of large rearrangements |
| Method | High-depth Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) on Illumina platform, GRCh38/hg38 alignment | Capillary electrophoresis, targeted amplicons |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 5 to 6 Weeks |
