Test Overview & Methodology
This next‑generation sequencing (NGS) test identifies pathogenic mutations in the LAMB2 gene, confirming Pierson syndrome (Nephrotic Syndrome Type 5) and guiding clinical management. Complete coverage of all coding exons and splice sites ensures maximal diagnostic yield compared to conventional Sanger sequencing.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity >99.9% specificity | ~95% sensitivity, targeted only |
| Methodology | ISO‑validated NGS (LC‑MS/MS cross‑checked) | Sanger sequencing |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–10 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant medical geneticist, I recognise the emotional weight of genetic testing for nephrotic syndrome. This test offers definitive answers, but results must always be correlated with the full clinical picture. A negative result does not exclude other genetic or acquired causes, and post‑test genetic counselling is strongly recommended.”
Medication Advisory
Important Medication Warning
Do not stop, start, or alter any prescribed medication without direct consultation with your treating physician. Adjustments to therapy must be made exclusively under specialist supervision.
Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion: Not intended for acute renal emergencies. The patient must be able to provide a standard peripheral blood sample (or FTA card). Prenatal testing requires prior genetic counselling and written consent.
- ER Red Flags: Seek emergency medical attention immediately for severe oedema, sudden decrease in urine output, difficulty breathing, or signs of acute renal failure.
