Clinical & Technical Overview
This test uses Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyse the entire coding region of the GAN gene, detecting pathogenic variants causative of Giant Axonal Neuropathy type 1. Designed for UAE patients and referring specialists, it provides a definitive molecular diagnosis within 3–4 weeks, enabling targeted neurological management and family planning.
| Feature | Our Test (Precision Panel) | Traditional Single‑Gene Sanger |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | NGS (100× average depth) with Sanger confirmation | Sanger sequencing only |
| Analytical Sensitivity | >99.9% for SNVs & small indels | ~95% for targeted variants |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
| Result Report | ACMG‑compliant with clinical interpretation | Basic variant list only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive GAN test must always be integrated with clinical and electrophysiological findings. Negative results do not exclude the condition if symptom onset is early or atypical, and informed genetic counselling is non‑negotiable.” – Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011
⚠️ Do not discontinue or adjust prescribed medication without consulting your neurologist. This genetic test is diagnostic, not therapeutic.
Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Minors (<18 years) must have parental/guardian consent as per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- Severe coagulopathy or active anticoagulation that cannot be safely paused for venipuncture.
- Inability to undergo informed genetic counselling (cognitive impairment without a legal representative).
Emergency Red Flags – Seek Immediate Care
- Acute‑onset limb weakness, respiratory difficulty, or dysphagia.
- Sudden vision loss or unexplained seizures.
- Severe pain unresponsive to standard analgesics.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What does the GAN gene test detect?
The GAN gene test analyses the GAN gene for disease‑causing mutations that lead to giant axonal neuropathy type 1 using next‑generation sequencing. It determines if a patient carries biallelic or monoallelic variants, confirming the diagnosis or carrier status.

How is the sample collected for this?
A certified phlebotomist draws a small amount of blood (EDTA tube) or a dried blood spot, ensuring cold‑chain transport to our ISO‑accredited laboratory. Painless at‑home service is available daily from 8 AM–11 PM.
