Test Overview & Methodology
The NDRG1 gene test detects mutations causing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D (CMT4D), a severe hereditary peripheral neuropathy. This Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis offers definitive molecular diagnosis to guide clinical management and genetic counseling.
| Feature | Our Test (NDRG1 NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Hotspot) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity; full gene coverage | ~95% sensitivity; limited to known hotspots |
| Method | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) – gold standard | Sanger sequencing of select exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“The NDRG1 gene test provides definitive molecular diagnosis for CMT4D, enabling targeted genetic counseling and family planning. I strongly recommend this test for patients with unexplained peripheral neuropathy and a family history consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403)
