Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region of the PIGQ gene to identify pathogenic variants linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder. The test is performed on the Illumina® platform with LC‑MS/MS confirmatory peaks for maximum reliability.
| Feature | Our PIGQ NGS Test | Standard Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% Analytical Sensitivity with 100× coverage | Variable; often <95% for Sanger‑only panels |
| Methodology | NGS (LC‑MS/MS‑validated for confirmatory peaks) – Illumina® platform | Traditional Sanger sequencing with limited variant detection |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks with optional expedited reporting | 4–6 weeks typical |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant in Medical Genetics, I understand the emotional weight families carry when a neurodevelopmental disorder is suspected. This precise genetic test provides clarity, yet every result must be correlated with clinical history and developmental milestones. No single test replaces the expertise of a multidisciplinary team.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory & Safety Exclusion Criteria
- • Do not discontinue prescribed antiepileptic medication without consulting your doctor – results may take weeks.
- • Exclusion: This test is not intended for asymptomatic individuals without clinical suspicion of PIGQ‑related disorder. All minors require genetic counseling and guardian consent.
- • Exclusion: Recent blood transfusion or bone marrow transplant (within 2 weeks) may require delayed sampling.
- • Emergency Red Flag: Prolonged seizures (>5 minutes), loss of consciousness, or sudden severe behavioral regression require immediate medical attention – do not wait for results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the PIGQ NGS test for diagnosing neurodevelopmental disorders?
The test achieves 99.9% analytical sensitivity, detecting point mutations, insertions, deletions, and duplications in the PIGQ gene with high precision. Results are validated through confirmatory peaks and correlated with clinical presentation.
2. How is the sample collected and what preparation is needed?
A standard peripheral blood sample is collected by a DHA‑licensed mobile phlebotomist at your home. No fasting is required. For minors, prior genetic counseling and guardian consent are mandatory.
3. Will my insurance cover this test and how long do results take?
Most UAE insurance plans cover neurogenetic testing. We verify benefits instantly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Turnaround time is 3–4 weeks, with an optional expedited report available.
4. Can this test replace a clinical diagnosis by a neurologist?
No. The test provides genetic evidence but must be interpreted alongside clinical history, developmental assessment, and multidisciplinary evaluation. A positive result confirms a pathogenic variant; a negative result does not rule out other genetic or non‑genetic causes.
