Test Overview & Methodology
The Ataxia Genetic Test sequences a curated set of genes linked to hereditary ataxias using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). It identifies pathogenic variants responsible for cerebellar ataxia, spinocerebellar ataxias, and related neurological disorders, enabling precise molecular diagnosis and family risk assessment.
Pre-Test Preparation: Fasting is not required. A mandatory pre-test genetic counseling session (included) will document your full clinical history and draw a detailed family pedigree. Provide a list of current medications and supplements; none interfere with DNA sequencing. No supplements or drugs need to be discontinued.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I regard the Ataxia NGS Panel as an indispensable tool for identifying the genetic basis of hereditary ataxias. However, any result must be interpreted within the broader clinical context; a negative result does not exclude all genetic forms. Always discuss findings with your healthcare provider before making any therapeutic changes.โ

Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic test results may influence management but never replace ongoing clinical care.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Recent blood transfusion or allogeneic bone marrow transplant (may cause donor DNA interference). Use buccal swab or skin biopsy instead.
- Emergency symptoms: Sudden severe headache, loss of consciousness, or stroke-like episodesโseek immediate ER care before elective genetic testing.
- Age < 18 years: Requires parental consent and specialist referral per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Pregnancy: No risk, but pre-test genetic counseling must address implications for the fetus.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the Ataxia NGS Panel for diagnosing hereditary ataxias?
The test achieves 99.9% analytical sensitivity, ensuring detection of even low-level variants. All pathogenic calls are confirmed by orthogonal Sanger sequencing, providing near-absolute diagnostic reliability.
2. Can I take this test if I am healthy but have a family history of ataxia?
Yes, predictive testing is available after comprehensive genetic counseling. Results can identify carrier status or presymptomatic risk, empowering informed reproductive and health decisions.
3. What type of sample is needed, and is collection painful?
We accept a simple blood draw, an extracted DNA sample, or a painless finger-prick dried blood spot on an FTA card. Our skilled phlebotomist handles home collection comfortably and conveniently.
