Test Overview & Methodology
The SLC22A12 gene encodes URAT1, a urate transporter in the kidney; pathogenic variants cause renal hypouricemia type 1, characterized by low serum uric acid and risk of exercise‑induced acute kidney injury. Our NGS‑based test identifies mutations with 99.9% analytical sensitivity, enabling precise diagnosis and personalized management.
| Feature | Our SLC22A12 NGS Test | Conventional Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity; full coding region coverage | 99.0% sensitivity; may miss deep intronic/regulatory variants |
| Method | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) with advanced bioinformatics | Single‑gene Sanger sequencing, slower variant interpretation |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 weeks | 4 – 6 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“The SLC22A12 gene test is a vital tool in diagnosing renal hypouricemia type 1. While highly sensitive, results must be correlated with clinical and family history. A positive result enables early intervention to prevent exercise‑induced renal injury. Always consult a genetic counselor or nephrologist for personalized advice.”

- ER Red Flags: Sudden flank pain, decreased urine output, or blood in urine after exercise — seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the SLC22A12 gene test?
This test detects genetic mutations in SLC22A12 causing renal hypouricemia type 1, guiding diagnosis and preventing exercise‑induced kidney damage. It helps clinicians tailor management and avoid acute kidney injury.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple blood draw or FTA card spot is collected at home by a certified phlebotomist via our VIP mobile service. Results are ready in 3–4 weeks.
3. What should I do after receiving a positive result?
A positive result should be discussed with your nephrologist or genetic counselor for personalized management, including hydration during exercise and urate‑lowering precautions.
