| Feature | Our Test (DHA‑Licensed) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene NGS coverage (exons + flanking regions) with 99.9% analytical sensitivity | Single‑site testing or limited panel with lower resolution |
| Methodology | Illumina® NGS with Sanger validation of pathogenic variants | Sanger sequencing of selected exons only (incomplete analysis) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks with optional STAT reporting | 4–6 Weeks, no accelerated option |
| Sample Types | Blood (EDTA), Extracted DNA, or FTA Card – one drop is sufficient | Often requires fresh blood only |
Clinical & Safety Compliance
Empathetic note from Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011, Consultant Neurologist): “This genetic result is a powerful piece of your child’s clinical puzzle; it must always be interpreted alongside seizure semiology, developmental milestones, and EEG findings. Do not make any therapeutic decisions without a comprehensive paediatric neurology consultation. The test provides clarity, but compassionate, personalised care remains the cornerstone of treatment.”
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed antiepileptic drug (e.g., valproate, clobazam, stiripentol) without consulting your doctor. Abrupt changes can provoke status epilepticus.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & When to Seek Emergency Care
- Exclusion Criteria for Home Collection: Active febrile illness or uncontrolled seizures at time of phlebotomy (require stabilisation first).
- ER Red Flags: Prolonged seizure >5 minutes, cluster seizures, altered consciousness, or breathing difficulty after a convulsion – proceed to nearest emergency department immediately.
- Paediatric Consent: Mandatory written informed consent from legal guardian(s) as per UAE CDS Law 2026 (Minors) prior to sample collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does a positive SCN1A mutation mean for my child’s diagnosis?
A pathogenic SCN1A variant confirms a genetic diagnosis of Dravet syndrome or an SCN1A‑related epileptic encephalopathy, guiding precision therapy and prognosis. يؤكد وجود طفرة ممرضة في جين SCN1A التشخيص الجيني لمتلازمة درافيت أو الاعتلال الدماغي الصرعي المرتبط بهذا الجين، مما يوجه العلاج الدقيق والتنبؤ بسير المرض.
2. Can this test be performed on a newborn or infant?
Yes, the test requires only a small blood sample (one drop on FTA card) and is validated for all ages, including neonates, with strict adherence to DHA infant phlebotomy protocols. نعم، يمكن إجراء الفحص لحديثي الولادة والرضع باستخدام نقطة دم واحدة على بطاقة FTA، وفقاً لبروتوكولات هيئة الصحة بدبي الصارمة لسحب الدم من الرضع.
3. How quickly can I receive results and genetic counselling?
Standard turnaround is 3‑4 weeks; after release, a complimentary 20‑minute tele‑counselling session with our clinical geneticist is scheduled within 48 hours to explain findings. تظهر النتائج خلال 3‑4 أسابيع، ويتم ترتيب جلسة استشارة هاتفية مجانية مدتها 20 دقيقة مع أخصائي الوراثة السريرية في غضون 48 ساعة لتفسير النتائج.
