📋 Pre‑Test Requirement
A comprehensive clinical history and a genetic counselling session are mandatory to draw a detailed pedigree chart of family members affected with episodic ataxia type 2.
🧬 Sample Options
Whole Blood (EDTA tube) • Extracted DNA • One‑drop Blood on FTA Card. Cold‑chain transport maintained.
⏳ Turnaround
3 to 4 Weeks. Urgent processing available upon request.
📖 Test Overview & Comparison
This targeted Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyses the entire coding region of the CACNA1A gene to detect pathogenic variants causing episodic ataxia type 2—a dominantly inherited neurological channelopathy. (يفحص هذا الاختبار الجيني الطفرات المسببة للرنح النوبي من النوع الثاني) Identifying the exact molecular defect empowers precise diagnosis, family risk assessment, and tailored management by a neurologist or clinical geneticist.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA‑Compliant NGS) | Closest Alternative (Single‑Gene Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) + Sanger confirmation | Sanger sequencing of selected exons |
| Coverage | Complete coding region ± flanking introns; copy number variant detection | Only targeted exons (≤ 2–3) |
| Sensitivity | > 99.9 % for SNVs, indels, and large rearrangements | ~ 90 % for point mutations in tested regions |
| Reporting | Variant classification per ACMG 2026; clinical correlation guidance | Binary detected / not‑detected |
🩺 Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a neurologist, I recognise how unsettling it can be to pursue genetic testing for a movement disorder. A ‘pathogenic’ result in CACNA1A provides a molecular explanation, but the clinical picture and family history remain essential for complete understanding. Never stop anti‑epileptic or migraine prophylaxis without a detailed discussion with your treating physician.”

⚠️ Medication Notice
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication (anticonvulsants, acetazolamide, or 4‑aminopyridine) without consulting your neurologist. Abrupt withdrawal may provoke severe ataxic episodes or status epilepticus.
🚨 Safety Exclusion & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Inability to provide adequate blood sample, active bleeding disorder without medical clearance, minor without legal guardian consent (Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024, Art. 87 & CDS Law 2026), or severe psychiatric instability impairing consent.
- ER Red Flags (seek immediate help): Sudden severe ataxia with dysphagia or respiratory distress, first‑time prolonged loss of consciousness, or seizures lasting > 5 minutes.
❓ Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the CACNA1A NGS test for diagnosing episodic ataxia type 2? / ما مدى دقة فحص جين CACNA1A لتشخيص الرنح النوبي من النوع الثاني؟
The test detects >99.9 % of single‑nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, and exon‑level copy number changes in the CACNA1A gene, providing a definitive molecular diagnosis when a pathogenic variant is found. (يكشف الاختبار أكثر من 99.9% من الطفرات المسببة، مما يمنح تشخيصًا جزيئيًا قاطعًا).
2. Can I use a home collection service, and will my insurance cover the cost? / هل يمكنني استخدام خدمة السحب المنزلي وهل يغطي التأمين التكلفة؟
Yes, we offer VIP mobile phlebotomy from 8 AM to 11 PM with ISO certified cold‑chain transport; direct billing verification is available via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 before the visit. (نعم، نوفر خدمة سحب منزلي على مدار الساعة مع التحقق المباشر من التغطية التأمينية).
3. What is the genetic counselling requirement before the test? / ما هي متطلبات الاستشارة الوراثية قبل الفحص؟
A pre‑ genetic counselling session is compulsory to draw a three‑generation pedigree and discuss the autosomal dominant inheritance, potential impact on family members, and the clinical utility of NGS. (جلسة استشارة وراثية إلزامية لرسم شجرة العائلة ومناقشة النمط الوراثي السائد).
