Test Overview & Methodology
The ORC1 gene test uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect pathogenic variants linked to Meier-Gorlin syndrome type 1, aiding clinical diagnosis for dysmorphology in children and adults.
| Feature | Our Test (ORC1 NGS) | Closest Alternative (Broad Dysmorphology Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Targeted deep sequencing with >100x coverage for ORC1 gene, including regulatory regions | Variable coverage; may miss deep intronic or regulatory variants |
| Method | Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina) with Sanger validation | NGS panel, often limited to exonic regions |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | 4โ8 Weeks |
| Interpretation | Expert geneticist-reviewed, Meier-Gorlin-focused | General dysmorphology report; may not highlight ORC1-specific findings |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Every child is unique, and this test provides a molecular diagnosis to guide care and family planning. A negative result does not rule out a clinical diagnosis; always correlate with physical findings and specialist evaluation. We support you with compassionate, DHA-licensed post-test counseling.

Advisory Notice
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria
- Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks) or bone marrow transplant may interfere with germline DNA analysis.
- Not suitable for standalone prenatal diagnosis without amniocentesis and full genetic counseling.
- Patients with hematopoietic stem cell therapy should delay testing for at least 6 weeks.
Emergency Red Flags
Seek immediate medical attention if the patient develops new-onset seizures, severe feeding difficulties, respiratory distress, or sudden loss of developmental milestones.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the clinical indication for the ORC1 gene test?
Our ORC1 NGS test detects pathogenic mutations causing Meier-Gorlin syndrome type 1 to confirm clinical diagnosis in children with microcephaly, patellar aplasia, and short stature. The test is indicated when a physician suspects the syndrome based on characteristic dysmorphic features and aims to differentiate it from other growth-related disorders.
2. How is the test performed and what sample is needed?
The test requires a blood sample (whole blood or FTA card) or extracted DNA, processed by next-generation sequencing with a turnaround time of 3โ4 weeks. A certified phlebotomist collects the sample through our VIP home collection service, ensuring cold-chain transport to the ISO-accredited laboratory.
3. Is genetic counseling required before and after testing?
Pre- and post- genetic counseling is mandatory to interpret results, construct a pedigree, and discuss implications for family members. A DHA-licensed genetic counselor will guide you through the informed consent process and explain potential outcomes, including variants of uncertain significance.
