Test Overview
Unverricht-Lundborg disease (EPM1) is a rare, progressive myoclonic epilepsy caused by mutations in the CSTB gene. This Genetic Test is processed at a DHA-licensed molecular genetics facility (License No. 9834453) using next-generation sequencing for comprehensive variant detection with typical reporting in 3–4 weeks.
| Feature | Our Test (CSTB NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Sanger sequencing (single‑gene) |
| Variant Detection | Full gene – SNVs, indels, CNV screening | Point mutations and small deletions only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
| Diagnostic Yield | >98% for CSTB mutations | ~90% |
| Price (AED) | 2800 | 2500 – 3000 (varies) |
| DHA/MOHAP Standard | Fully compliant (NGS panel) | Legacy method, not optimized for NGS |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“Progressive myoclonic epilepsy like Unverricht-Lundborg is a life-altering diagnosis; this genetic test provides families with an answer, but the result must always be correlated with clinical history and EEG findings. I advise patients to never stop anti-epileptic drugs abruptly, and to review results jointly with a neurologist and a genetic counselor.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011
⚠ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Abrupt withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs can provoke life‑threatening seizures.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Recent blood transfusion (within 12 weeks) – may interfere with DNA-based testing.
- Lack of informed consent for genetic testing and pre‑test genetic counselling (mandatory per UAE CDS Law 2026 for minors).
- Patient/family unable to provide a four‑generation pedigree required for accurate interpretation.
- Emergency red flags: New prolonged seizure (>5 min), status epilepticus, sudden deterioration in gait or cognition – seek immediate emergency care, do not wait for genetic results.
