Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
From Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA: 61713011), Senior Neurologist: “Genetic testing for CNTNAP2 is a powerful tool, but it must be correlated with detailed seizure history, EEG, and brain MRI findings. This test does not replace clinical evaluation, and all treatment decisions should be made together with your neurologist. I encourage families to seek counselling before testing to understand the implications fully.”
Important Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Individuals with active severe infection or known bleeding disorder should defer blood collection until cleared by their doctor.
- This test is not indicated for asymptomatic individuals without a relevant family history; genetic counselling is mandatory prior to testing per UAE CDS Law 2026 for minors.
- Emergency: If you experience worsening seizures, loss of consciousness, sudden neurological deficit, or severe allergic reaction after sample collection, seek immediate care at Rashid Hospital Emergency Department or call 998.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the CNTNAP2 gene test actually diagnose?
This test detects pathogenic mutations in the CNTNAP2 gene that cause cortical dysplasia and focal epilepsy, providing a definitive molecular diagnosis for targeted therapy.
يكشف هذا الاختبار عن الطفرات الممرضة في جين CNTNAP2 المسببة لخلل القشرة الدماغية والصرع البؤري، مما يقدم تشخيصاً جزيئياً دقيقاً.
2. How is the sample collected and what is required before the test?
A blood sample, one drop on an FTA card, or extracted DNA is accepted; a pre- genetic counselling session to draw a detailed pedigree is mandatory.
يتم جمع عينة دم أو نقطة واحدة على بطاقة FTA أو حمض نووي مستخلص، ويشترط إجراء جلسة استشارة وراثية قبل الاختبار لرسم شجرة العائلة.
3. Is my genetic data protected under UAE law?
Absolutely, all genomic information is processed under UAE PDPL and Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024, ensuring strict confidentiality and no third-party sharing.
نعم، جميع البيانات الجينية تُعالج وفقاً لقانون حماية البيانات الشخصية الإماراتي والمرسوم بقانون اتحادي رقم 41 لسنة 2024 بسرية تامة.
