Overview
The TBC1D24 Gene Familial Infantile Myoclonic Epilepsy NGS Test identifies pathogenic variants in the TBC1D24 gene, typically associated with early-onset myoclonic epilepsy. This state-of-the-art Next‑Generation Sequencing analysis provides a definitive molecular diagnosis for affected patients and at‑risk family members in the UAE, enabling precise genetic counselling and personalized management.
| Feature | Our Test | Closest Alternative (Standard WES) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for TBC1D24 point mutations & small indels | ~95% sensitivity, may miss intronic/splice-site variants |
| Methodology | Targeted NGS with proprietary bioinformatics pipeline | Whole Exome Sequencing (broader but less focused) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
From Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011): “Finding a mutation in TBC1D24 helps confirm the epilepsy syndrome, but clinical context—EEG, developmental milestones, and seizure semiology—remains paramount. This test is a guide, not a standalone verdict; always integrate molecular findings with the child’s overall picture. I strongly recommend a pre‑test genetic counselling session to ensure the family understands the implications.”
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed anti‑epileptic medication or alter dosage without direct consultation with your treating neurologist. Abrupt changes may provoke life‑threatening seizures.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion: Patients unable to provide informed consent (or legal guardian for minors) per UAE CDS Law 2026; individuals without a clinical indication for familial infantile myoclonic epilepsy testing.
- Red Flags – Seek Immediate Emergency Care: Prolonged seizures (>5 minutes), difficulty breathing, cyanosis, or loss of consciousness. Do not delay for test collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What is the TBC1D24 gene test and why is it ordered for my child?
This uses Next-Generation Sequencing to identify harmful changes in the TBC1D24 gene that cause familial infantile myoclonic epilepsy, a rare seizure disorder beginning in infancy.

How should I prepare my child for the sample collection at home?
No special preparation is needed; the phlebotomist will collect a single small blood sample (or a drop on a special FTA card) during the home visit, and you must complete a genetic counselling session to draw a family pedigree.
