Test Overview & Methodology
This next‑generation sequencing test analyzes the entire GYS2 gene to identify pathogenic variants causing glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD 0), a rare metabolic disorder presenting with fasting hypoglycemia and postprandial hyperglycemia. Early molecular diagnosis enables targeted dietary management and lifelong metabolic surveillance.
| Feature | Our NGS Full‑Gene Test | Closest Alternative (Targeted Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Entire GYS2 gene including intron‑exon boundaries | Limited to selected hotspot mutations |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 2–3 Weeks (incomplete coverage) |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | >99.9% for all known and novel variants | ~80% (common founder variants only) |
| Regulatory Compliance | DHA/MOHAP, ISO 9001:2015 | Variable accreditation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA‑licensed Consultant in Medical Genetics, I interpret this GYS2 sequencing result within the full context of clinical presentation and biochemical profile. A pathogenic variant confirms the diagnosis of glycogen storage disease type 0, but does not replace the need for ongoing metabolic specialist care. Genetic counseling is integral to the testing process.”
