Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the SLITRK1 gene test diagnose?
This test detects mutations in the SLITRK1 gene linked to Tourette syndrome, confirming genetic predisposition. The analysis identifies pathogenic variants that support a clinical diagnosis and may guide prognosis and family risk assessment. A positive result helps neurologists differentiate Tourette syndrome from other tic disorders.
2. How is the sample collected and what are the preparation steps?
A simple venous blood draw or dried blood spot card is collected from the comfort of your home. No fasting is required, but avoid heavy physical exertion immediately before sampling. We strongly recommend a pre‑test genetic counseling session (included) to document the family pedigree and explain the test's scope.
3. Is the SLITRK1 genetic test covered by UAE health insurance?
Most UAE insurers cover medically necessary genetic testing once pre‑authorization is obtained from a neurologist. Our team verifies direct billing eligibility via WhatsApp and assists with the approval process, reducing out‑of‑pocket costs. A detailed prescription and ICD‑10 code (F95.2) strengthen the claim.
