| Methodology | NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) with CNV analysis | Capillary electrophoresis Sanger |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 Weeks | 6 – 8 Weeks |
| Pre‐Test Requirement | Genetic counselling & pedigree chart (included in service) | Often omitted |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA‑licensed neurologist, I have seen how a precise GABRA1 diagnosis transforms a family’s journey from uncertainty to a tailored care plan. Please remember that genetic results must always be correlated with clinical findings by a paediatric epileptologist. Never stop or adjust antiseizure medications without direct specialist supervision.”
— Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA No. 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed antiepileptic drugs or any other medication without explicit instructions from your treating physician. Abrupt withdrawal can provoke life‑threatening seizure exacerbation.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active febrile illness within 48 hours (may reschedule collection).
- Exclusion: Known coagulopathy or severe thrombocytopenia – discuss with our phlebotomist before draw.
- Red Flag: New‑onset prolonged seizure (>5 min) or status epilepticus — proceed immediately to the nearest Emergency Department.
