Test Overview & Methodology
The GRIN2A gene encodes a critical NMDA receptor subunit; pathogenic variants are associated with epilepsy-aphasia syndromes and neurodevelopmental defects. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test delivers full gene coverage with high analytical sensitivity, enabling precise molecular diagnosis and personalised therapeutic guidance.
| Feature | Our Test (ISO-Certified NGS) | Closest Alternative (Standard Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity; detects SNVs, indels, CNVs | 99.0% for targeted regions; limited to point mutations |
| Methodology | NGS with ACMG-guided variant interpretation, ISO 9001:2015 lab | Sanger sequencing, single-gene; no CNV detection |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 weeks | 6 to 8 weeks |
| Clinical Report | Comprehensive, with therapeutic implications and genetic counselling | Basic variant listing, minimal interpretive support |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue or adjust prescribed antiepileptic drugs or neurological medications without consulting your physician.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Indicators
- Exclusion Criteria: Active febrile illness or acute seizure exacerbation at time of blood draw (reschedule after stabilisation); inability to provide informed consent (for minors, guardian consent mandatory per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability).
- Emergency Red Flags: Seizure clusters lasting >5 minutes, loss of consciousness, new-onset status epilepticus, or sudden neurodevelopmental regression—seek immediate emergency care.
- Pregnancy/Lactation: Not applicable for DNA testing; however, if sedation is required for sample collection, inform the provider.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How can this genetic test explain my child’s epilepsy and developmental delay?
Answer: This sequences the GRIN2A gene, which when mutated has been directly linked to epilepsy-aphasia syndromes and neurodevelopmental defects, providing a molecular diagnosis and guiding targeted management.
2. Is the home blood draw safe and what preparation is needed?
Answer: Our VIP phlebotomy team uses hospital-grade infection control and cold-chain preservation; no fasting is required, only a filled clinical questionnaire and signed genetic consent.
3. What if the result shows a variant of uncertain significance (VUS)?
Answer: We provide a comprehensive interpretation with familial segregation options and quarterly reanalysis updates; clinical correlation remains essential.
