Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced NGS test sequences the entire coding region of the EXT1 gene to identify pathogenic variants associated with hereditary multiple exostoses and an elevated risk of chondrosarcoma. Analysis includes confirmatory Sanger sequencing for all clinically significant findings.
| Parameter | Our Test (NGS Pro) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | High-depth NGS with confirmatory Sanger sequencing; >99.9% analytical sensitivity | Standard single-gene Sanger or limited panel; may miss copy-number variants |
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (Illuminaยฎ platform, 100% coverage of coding regions ยฑ10 bp) | Targeted mutation analysis or microarray, incomplete exon coverage |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | Often 5โ6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โGenetic test results must be interpreted within the full clinical context. The EXT1 gene analysis identifies predisposition to hereditary multiple exostoses and chondrosarcoma, but regular orthopedic surveillance and imaging remain mandatory. Discuss every finding with a clinical geneticist or orthopedic specialist before making management decisions.โ

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the EXT1 Gene Chondrosarcoma NGS Test analyze?
This test sequences the entire EXT1 coding region to identify pathogenic variants linked to hereditary multiple exostoses and elevated chondrosarcoma risk. It includes confirmatory Sanger sequencing for all detected variants.
2. How is the home blood collection performed and is it safe?
Our DHA-licensed phlebotomist arrives with an ISO-certified cold chain kit, collects a single blood sample, and transports it securely to the laboratory. Collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. Why is genetic counselling recommended before testing?
Preโtest counselling helps map a family pedigree, assess the likelihood of hereditary conditions, and ensures the patient fully understands the implications of results. It is a critical step in responsible genetic testing.
