Comprehensive Overview
The KCNT1 gene test screens for pathogenic variants responsible for Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Type 14, a severe neonatal‑onset developmental and epileptic disorder. This next‑generation sequencing (NGS) assay delivers a molecular diagnosis that directly informs clinical management and genetic counselling.
يكشف تحليل جين KCNT1 عن الطفرات المسببة للاعتلال الدماغي الصرعي الباكر، مما يوفر تشخيصًا جزيئيًا دقيقًا لتوجيه العلاج والمشورة الوراثية.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) covering the entire KCNT1 coding region with copy‑number analysis | Sanger sequencing – typically analyses one exon at a time, missing large deletions/duplications |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% for single‑nucleotide variants and indels | ~97% – limited to point mutations; structural variants often missed |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks (multi‑step, lower throughput) |
| Sample Type | Whole blood, extracted DNA, or one drop blood on FTA card | Whole blood (usually 3–5 mL) |
| Price | 2800 AED | ~3500–4500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive KCNT1 variant must be interpreted within the full clinical context – EEG patterns, seizure semiology, and developmental milestones are equally vital. I urge families not to alter anti‑epileptic regimens solely based on a genetic report, and to always consult a pediatric neurologist for tailored treatment.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011, Consultant Pediatric Neurologist
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Abrupt seizure‑medication withdrawal can trigger life‑threatening status epilepticus.
Safety Exclusion & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Patients with active severe bleeding disorders; inability to provide any biological sample; test not intended for asymptomatic population screening.
- Emergency Red Flags – seek immediate medical help if: seizure lasts >5 minutes, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, fever >38°C, or any new focal neurological deficit after sampling. إذا استمرت النوبة >5 دقائق أو حدثت صعوبة في التنفس، توجه للطوارئ فورًا
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the KCNT1 EIEE14 test and how is it performed?
Snippet: This test sequences the KCNT1 gene using a blood or FTA card sample to detect epilepsy‑causing mutations. Simply provide a small blood sample (or one drop on an FTA card) during our home collection; DNA is extracted and analysed via high‑coverage NGS. The report details any disease‑associated variants with clinical interpretation.
يتم إجراء الاختبار من خلال تسلسل جين KCNT1 باستخدام عينة دم أو بطاقة FTA للكشف عن الطفرات المسببة للصرع.
2. How accurate is the test, and does it require genetic counselling?
Snippet: Diagnostic sensitivity is 99.9% for single‑nucleotide variants, backed by ISO 9001:2015 quality processes. Pre‑test genetic counselling is mandatory – we arrange a session to draw a family pedigree and explain implications. Post‑test guidance is also included to help parents understand results and inheritance risks.
الحساسية التشخيصية 99.9%؛ جلسة استشارة وراثية قبل الاختبار إلزامية لرسم شجرة العائلة وشرح النتائج.
3. Will insurance cover the test and what is the process for home collection?
Snippet: Most UAE insurers reimburse this when pre‑authorized – our billing team verifies coverage directly via WhatsApp. Home collection happens at your convenience (8 AM–11 PM) using cold‑chain transport; a trained phlebotomist collects blood or an FTA card sample painlessly. Results are delivered digitally in 3–4 weeks with a tele‑consultation.
