Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced NGS test detects pathogenic variants in the TSC2 gene, the primary cause of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex type 2, enabling early diagnosis and personalized surveillance. The analysis targets all coding exons and splice sites with high-depth coverage, ensuring detection of point mutations, small indels, and copy number variations.
Comparative Gene Testing Options
| Feature | Our TSC2 NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Single‑Gene Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision & Coverage | Full gene sequencing (exons & splice sites) with NGS; detects point mutations, small indels, and copy number variants | Targeted mutation analysis or selected exon sequencing; may miss deep intronic or large rearrangements |
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina® platform, 1000× average depth) | Sanger sequencing (limited throughput) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks for full gene analysis |
| Report Standard | ACMG 2026 variant classification, clinically actionable interpretation | Basic variant call; limited clinical annotation |
| Home Collection | VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature-Controlled Cold-Chain Home Collection (8 AM – 11 PM daily) | Often not available |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that this test should be integrated with comprehensive clinical evaluation and genetic counseling. A positive result provides a framework for proactive monitoring and family planning rather than dictating prognosis. Always seek expert interpretation before making medical decisions.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (DHA Registration ID: 9294403)
Advisory Precautions
Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Inform your genetic counselor about any anticoagulant therapy before sample collection.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Active bleeding disorders, severe anemia (Hb < 7 g/dL) precluding safe venipuncture; neonates < 28 days without pediatric phlebotomy specialist; history of whole blood transfusion within the last 120 days (risk of mixed DNA).
- Emergency Red Flags: New‑onset seizures, acute vision or hearing loss, sudden severe hypertension, or rapid neurological decline after test notification require immediate medical attention — do not wait for genetic test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How much does the TSC2 NGS test cost and does insurance typically cover it in the UAE?
The test is priced at 2,800 AED. We provide direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Many UAE insurers cover genetic testing when deemed medically necessary; prior authorization may be required.
2. What is the expected turnaround time for receiving TSC2 NGS results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from sample arrival at the laboratory. This time frame ensures thorough sequencing, robust variant interpretation, and ACMG-based reporting.
3. What happens if a pathogenic TSC2 mutation is found?
A positive result confirms a diagnosis of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex type 2. It guides imaging surveillance, specialist referrals (neurology, nephrology, dermatology), and genetic counseling for at-risk family members.
