Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Geneticist, I recognize the importance of precise genetic diagnosis for pediatric neurological conditions. The PRRT2 NGS test provides high-resolution data, but results must be integrated with a complete clinical and family history. Please continue any prescribed medications and do not alter treatment without consulting your physician.”

Advisory Notice
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test is an adjunct to clinical evaluation, not a substitute for medical advice.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Testing is not indicated without clinical suspicion of a PRRT2-related disorder or prior genetic counseling.
- Emergency Red Flag: Seek immediate medical care if seizures worsen, progress to status epilepticus, or if severe chorea leads to falls or injury.
- Sample collection requires informed consent. For minors, legal guardian consent is mandatory per UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 and Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What are the symptoms of familial infantile convulsions linked to the PRRT2 gene?
The hallmark symptoms include recurrent infantile-onset clusters of afebrile seizures, often with later paroxysmal choreoathetosis triggered by sudden movement or stress.
2. How accurate is the PRRT2 NGS test and how long do results take?
Our NGS assay achieves 99.9% analytic sensitivity, capturing all exonic variants, and results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt.
3. Are home sample collection and insurance coverage available?
Yes, our VIP mobile phlebotomy service covers all Emirates via ISO-certified cold-chain logistics (8 AM – 11 PM). We also offer direct insurance verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
