Test Overview & Methodology
This targeted genetic test sequences the entire OCRL gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect pathogenic variants responsible for Lowe syndrome, a rare X-linked disorder affecting the kidneys, eyes, and nervous system. The test provides full gene coverage with orthogonal variant confirmation.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA-Certified) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity (full gene coverage) | Variable, often target-specific |
| Methodology | NGS with LC-MS/MS variant confirmation | Sanger sequencing (single exon) |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 6 to 8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that genetic test results must be interpreted within the full clinical context. This NGS assay provides critical molecular confirmation, but it does not replace thorough nephrological and ophthalmological evaluation. Please consult your specialist before making any health decisions.โ
