Test Overview & Methodology
The RASA1 gene test is a next‑generation sequencing (NGS) assay that detects germline mutations responsible for Parkes Weber syndrome, a congenital vascular disorder marked by capillary malformations and high‑flow arteriovenous malformations. Early diagnosis enables targeted vascular surveillance, informed family planning, and multidisciplinary management.
| Parameter | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | ≥99.9% sensitivity; complete gene coverage including deep intronic regions | ~98% sensitivity; target‑only exonic hotspots, may miss deep mutations |
| Method | NGS (Illumina platform) with bioinformatic variant classification per ACMG guidelines | Capillary electrophoresis; limited to known familial variants |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 2–3 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Genetic testing for RASA1 provides essential clarity for families navigating a diagnosis of Parkes Weber syndrome. I strongly recommend that results be reviewed within a multidisciplinary setting—including a medical geneticist, vascular specialist, and paediatrician—to ensure accurate clinical correlation and a personalised care plan tailored to each patient’s vascular phenotype.”

Medication Advisory
⚠️ Important: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. Genetic results complement—but do not replace—ongoing clinical management.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Current pregnancy (defer test or order maternal contamination check), acute febrile illness, unsuitable sample (haemolysed or insufficient DNA), minor without legal guardian consent.
- Emergency Red Flags: Sudden severe limb pain, rapid swelling, bleeding from a vascular lesion, or signs of high‑output cardiac failure. Seek immediate medical attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the RASA1 gene test and why is it important?
The RASA1 gene test uses next‑generation sequencing to identify mutations causing Parkes Weber syndrome, a condition that can lead to serious vascular complications if unrecognised. Early molecular diagnosis enables proactive surveillance and informed reproductive planning.
2. How accurate is the NGS test for Parkes Weber syndrome?
Our NGS assay achieves 99.9% analytic sensitivity and specificity for all coding exons and splice‑site regions of RASA1, validated against international reference standards and ACMG classification criteria.
3. What is the sample collection process and turnaround time?
A trained phlebotomist collects a small blood sample (3–5 mL in an EDTA tube) at your home, or you may provide a painless finger‑prick sample on an FTA card. Results are delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt.
4. Who should consider this genetic test?
This test is indicated for individuals with clinical suspicion of Parkes Weber syndrome, including those with capillary malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, or limb hypertrophy. It is also recommended for asymptomatic family members of a confirmed carrier to enable early surveillance.
