Test Overview & Methodology
The FLNA NGS test screens the entire coding region of the filamin A gene for pathogenic variants linked to FG syndrome type 2, a condition characterised by periventricular nodular heterotopia, epilepsy, and connective tissue anomalies. This molecular analysis provides definitive genetic confirmation to guide clinical management and family counselling.
| Feature | Our Test – FLNA NGS | Closest Alternative – Sanger Sequencing |

Medication Advisory
⚠️ Important Medication Reminder
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication regimen without prior consultation with your treating physician. Abrupt changes may affect neurological stability or seizure control.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Guidance
Contraindications for Blood Collection
- Severe coagulopathy or active bleeding disorder
- Acute febrile illness or systemic infection at time of collection
- Known lack of venous access requiring specialised line placement
ER Red Flags: If you experience heavy bleeding, expanding haematoma, or signs of infection after blood draw, seek immediate medical attention. Worsening of neurological symptoms – prolonged seizures, altered consciousness – should trigger an emergency room visit.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is FLNA gene FG syndrome type 2 and how does this test help?
FLNA gene FG syndrome type 2 is a rare X-linked disorder causing brain malformations, developmental delay, and connective tissue symptoms. This NGS test identifies disease‑causing variants in the FLNA gene, confirming a clinical suspicion and enabling personalised surveillance and family counselling.
2. How is the sample collected and what preparation is needed?
We collect a peripheral whole blood sample through our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service with temperature‑controlled cold‑chain transport to the laboratory. No fasting is required; however, a prior genetic counselling session to document family pedigree is mandatory for accurate result interpretation.
3. How long do results take and who interprets them?
Results are ready in 3 to 4 weeks and are interpreted by a board‑certified consultant medical geneticist during a tele‑consultation. The report includes a clear clinical correlation note and actionable recommendations for surveillance and management.
