Test Overview & Methodology
A comprehensive next-generation sequencing analysis of the entire coding region and splice sites of the THSD1 gene, designed to detect pathogenic variants linked to osteology, dermatology, and immunology disorders. Performed on DNA extracted from blood, FTA card, or extracted DNA sample, this test provides actionable genetic information for precise clinical management.
| Feature | Our Test (THSD1 Full Gene NGS) | Closest Alternative (Limited Panel/Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for single nucleotide variants & indels; complete exon coverage | Variable; may miss deep intronic or copy number variants |
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with advanced bioinformatics, aligned to clinical standards | Sanger sequencing of selected exons or limited hotspot analysis |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | Typically 4–6 Weeks (may require multiplex testing) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed specialist in medical genetics, I recognise the profound implications of genetic testing. A positive result is not a definitive diagnosis, and a negative result does not exclude all hereditary conditions. I strongly advise that all findings be interpreted in consultation with your primary physician to ensure they are contextualised within your unique health profile.”

⚠️ Medication and Treatment Advisory
Do not stop any prescribed medication or alter your current treatment based solely on genetic test results without prior consultation with your treating doctor.
This test is a clinical decision support tool; any therapeutic changes require a complete medical evaluation.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Patients who have received a whole blood transfusion or undergone stem cell transplantation within the last 4 weeks.
- Exclusion: Immediate post-partum maternal samples without documented consent for infant testing.
- ER Alert: If you experience sudden, unexplained bone pain with swelling, rapid-onset blistering skin lesions, or signs of systemic inflammatory response (fever >38.5°C with rash), seek emergency care immediately.
- Mandatory: A pre-test genetic counselling session is required to draw a pedigree chart and assess family history.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What conditions can the THSD1 genetic test identify?
This NGS test identifies pathogenic variants in the THSD1 gene directly linked to syndromic disorders affecting bone, skin, and the immune system, enabling targeted interventions.
2. How is the sample collected and is it painful?
Our VIP home phlebotomy team collects a small blood sample or a single drop on an FTA card; the procedure is quick, virtually painless, and requires no fasting.
3. What is the accuracy and turnaround time of this test?
The test delivers 99.9% analytical sensitivity for single nucleotide variants using NGS technology, with a turnaround time of 3–4 weeks from sample receipt.
