Overview
This advanced NGS‑based test analyzes the entire coding sequence of the WASHC5 gene to diagnose or confirm Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia type 8 (SPG8), a progressive neurological disorder. In the UAE, the test is performed under 2026 DHA/MOHAP standards, combining ISO‑certified logistics with expert clinical interpretation to guide family planning and disease management.

| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% for all variant types | ≥95% for point mutations; may miss large deletions |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
| Genetic Counselling | Mandatory pre‑test counselling included | Often not included |
| UAE DHA Compliance | Full 2026 DHA/MOHAP adherence | Varies by provider |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive WASHC5 variant requires careful clinical correlation with neurological examination and family history. This test provides decisive molecular confirmation, but it is not a substitute for a comprehensive neurology consultation. I encourage all patients to discuss the results with a neurologist or clinical geneticist before making any health decisions.”

Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or alter your treatment plan without first consulting your treating physician. This test is for diagnostic and counselling purposes only; it does not provide immediate therapeutic recommendations.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- This test is not appropriate for acute neurological emergencies (e.g., sudden loss of consciousness, acute stroke symptoms).
- If you experience sudden worsening of leg weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or new vision changes, seek immediate emergency care.
- Genetic testing of minors requires strict adherence to UAE CDS Law 2026 and mandatory genetic counselling.
Frequently Asked Questions (Clinical Guidance)
Q: How accurate is the WASHC5 NGS test for diagnosing hereditary spastic paraplegia SPG8?
Answer: Our next‑generation sequencing delivers over 99.9% analytical sensitivity and specificity for all clinically relevant WASHC5 variants, making it the most definitive molecular diagnostic tool available in the UAE today. Combined with mandatory genetic counselling, the result can confirm SPG8 with near‑certainty, enabling precise family planning and tailored neurological care.
س: ما مدى دقة فحص جين WASHC5 بتقنية NGS لتشخيص الشلل النصفي التشنجي الوراثي SPG8؟
