Test Overview & Methodology
The ADGRG1 Gene Polymicrogyria Bilateral Frontoparietal Genetic Test uses targeted next-generation sequencing to detect pathogenic variants in the ADGRG1 gene. This test is intended for patients with clinical or radiological suspicion of bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria, enabling precise diagnosis, genetic counselling, and informed clinical management under DHA‑approved protocols. The methodology employs proprietary enrichment for deep coverage (>100×) of the coding region and flanking intronic sequences, with variant classification per ACMG guidelines.
| Feature | Our ADGRG1 NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Whole Exome Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | >99.9% sensitivity for ADGRG1 targeted region, deep coverage (>100×) | ~98% sensitivity; may miss intronic ADGRG1 variants |
| Methodology | NGS panel with proprietary enrichment, clinically validated | Non-specific capture; incidental findings burden |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks (expedited reporting available) | 4 to 6 Weeks |
| Price (AED) | 2,800 (insurance eligible) | 3,000–5,000 (often not covered for isolated malformation) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant medical geneticist, I underscore that detecting an ADGRG1 variant requires careful correlation with neuroimaging and the full clinical picture. My team provides compassionate post-test counselling, addressing recurrence risks and family planning options. This test is a powerful tool when used in the right clinical context.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory & Pre-Test Requirements
A mandatory clinical history review and genetic counselling session (including detailed pedigree) must precede sample collection. The test requires a blood sample collected via venipuncture on a DNA FTA card. Do not interpret genetic results in isolation; always correlate with MRI findings and the clinical phenotype.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not suitable for individuals without a clinical or imaging suspicion of frontoparietal polymicrogyria.
- Cannot be performed on patients unable or unwilling to provide informed consent (guardian consent mandatory for minors).
- This is an elective genetic test; acute emergencies must be managed in an ER setting.
Emergency Red Flags (Seek Immediate Care)
- Uncontrolled seizures or status epilepticus
- Apnoea, severe respiratory distress, or altered consciousness
- Sudden loss of developmental milestones
- Signs of raised intracranial pressure
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the ADGRG1 gene test look for, and how accurate is it?
This test sequences the entire coding region of the ADGRG1 gene to detect pathogenic variants, achieving a diagnostic sensitivity exceeding 99.9% in clinically suspected polymicrogyria. It can identify single nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, and copy number changes that disrupt normal cortical development. All variants are classified according to ACMG guidelines by our DHA-licensed molecular geneticists.
2. How long until I receive my results, and will a doctor explain them to me?
Your report will be finalised within 3 to 4 weeks, and a complimentary telephonic consultation with a clinical geneticist is provided to translate the findings. We walk you through every detail, including inheritance patterns, recurrence risk for future pregnancies, and any necessary referrals to paediatric neurology or neurosurgery.
3. Is this test approved by UAE health authorities and covered by insurance?
Yes, the test is performed in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility licensed by DHA and MOHAP, and most major UAE insurers reimburse the cost when pre-authorised. We handle direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731, ensuring a seamless claims process under UAE health data protection laws.
4. What are the pre-test requirements and sample collection details?
A mandatory genetic counselling session and pedigree analysis are required prior to sample collection. The sample type is peripheral blood collected on a DNA FTA card via standard venipuncture. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy service is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM for home collection, with temperature-controlled cold-chain transport to the laboratory.
UAE Regulatory & Data Privacy Adherence
This test is conducted in full compliance with Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (PDPL) and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 Concerning the Use of Information and Communication Technology in Health Fields.
