Test Overview & Methodology
The SLC35C1 gene NGS test detects pathogenic variants responsible for leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD II) and congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIc. This rare multisystem disorder presents with neurological and immunological manifestations. Our next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach provides comprehensive coverage of the SLC35C1 gene, including copy number variation (CNV) analysis, ensuring the highest diagnostic yield.
| Parameter | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Sensitivity | 99.9% (full gene coverage) | Limited to known familial mutation |
| Methodology | NextโGeneration Sequencing (NGS) with CNV analysis | Targeted Sanger sequencing, no CNV detection |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | 6โ8 Weeks |
| DHA Compliance | Full (license 1143) | Variable |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that this SLC35C1 test must be interpreted alongside comprehensive clinical evaluation and family history. Genetic results are not a definitive diagnosis on their own. Please do not make any treatment decisions without a specialist consultation.โ

Important Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Abrupt changes are dangerous and may worsen underlying conditions. Always consult your specialist before making any treatment adjustments.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria
- Active severe infection or acute febrile illness (may compromise sample integrity).

- Pregnant women seeking urgent invasive prenatal diagnosis (this test is not designed for rapid prenatal decisions).
- Inability to provide informed consent or attend mandatory genetic counseling session.
Emergency Red Flags โ Call 998 Immediately

- Acute metabolic decompensation (vomiting, lethargy, hypoglycemia).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the SLC35C1 gene test and why is it important?
This NGS test identifies SLC35C1 gene mutations to accurately diagnose leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II and CDG type IIc. Early diagnosis allows for timely management of immunological and neurological complications.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
Provide a detailed medical history and family pedigree during a mandatory genetic counseling session prior to sample collection. No special dietary or medication changes are required unless directed by your physician.
3. What do the results mean and what are the next steps?
A positive result indicates a disease-causing variant necessitating clinical correlation. A negative result significantly reduces but does not completely exclude the condition. Your genetic counselor and specialist will guide you through the implications and management options.
