Advisory: Do Not Alter Medications Without Medical Guidance
Never stop or adjust your current treatment without explicit guidance from your treating physician. Genetic test results inform, but do not replace, ongoing clinical management.
Emergency Red Flags: Sudden seizure exacerbation, loss of consciousness, acute behavioural regressionโseek emergency care immediately.
Exclusion Criteria for Sample Collection
- Active febrile illness that may alter metabolic baseline.
- Non-consenting minors without a legal guardian.
- Any contraindication to phlebotomy as assessed by the attending clinician.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the clinical utility of ALG6 gene testing?
This test identifies pathogenic variants in the ALG6 gene, confirming a diagnosis of Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type 1c. It guides specific management, surveillance, and reproductive planning for affected individuals and families.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple blood draw is collected at home by a DHA-licensed phlebotomist between 8 AM and 11 PM, using ISO-certified cold-chain logistics. Results are typically available within 3โ4 weeks from sample receipt.
3. Is genetic counseling mandatory before the test?
Yes. Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability and standard ethical guidelines mandate a pre-test genetic counselling session to document family history, discuss implications, and obtain informed consent.
