Test Overview & Methodology
The ROBO3 NGS test fully sequences the ROBO3 gene to detect mutations responsible for Horizontal Gaze Palsy with Progressive Scoliosis (HGPPS), a rare autosomal recessive neurological disorder. This comprehensive analysis identifies all coding variants and splice-site alterations with 99.9% analytical sensitivity.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS – Full Gene) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity; detects all coding variants | ~95% sensitivity; targets known hotspots only |
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) – Long‑read, ISO‑validated | Sanger sequencing – limited region coverage |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant medical geneticist, I emphasize that this test is a powerful diagnostic tool for HGPPS. However, results must always be interpreted alongside a comprehensive neurological and ophthalmological examination. Genetic counselling is mandatory to ensure patients and families understand the implications.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
