Test Overview & Methodology
The SHROOM4 gene test is a next‑generation sequencing (NGS) assay that detects pathogenic variants in the SHROOM4 gene associated with Stocco Dos Santos X‑linked intellectual disability syndrome. This single‑gene sequencing test delivers a definitive molecular diagnosis, guiding clinical management and genetic counselling for affected families.
| Feature | Our Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | NGS with Sanger confirmation, variant-level accuracy | Whole exome sequencing (broader but may miss deep intronic variants) |
| Methodology | NGS (Next‑Generation Sequencing) | Sanger sequencing of selected exons only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"The SHROOM4 NGS test is highly sensitive; however, a positive result must always be correlated with clinical phenotype and family history. I strongly advise pre‑test genetic counselling to understand the implications for the patient and at‑risk relatives. Our team is here to support you throughout."
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Patient under 2 years old without clinical justification by a specialist.
- Inability to provide a suitable DNA sample (blood, extracted DNA, or FTA card).
- Active haematological malignancy that may affect germline DNA analysis.
- Seek immediate emergency care if: seizures, acute regression, or loss of consciousness occur.
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test does not replace ongoing neurological or psychiatric management.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the SHROOM4 gene test and why is it needed?
The SHROOM4 NGS test identifies disease‑causing mutations in the SHROOM4 gene, a critical step to confirm X‑linked intellectual disability in males and carrier status in females. Its result directs early intervention, specialized education, and accurate recurrence risk counselling for families.
2. How is the sample collected and what are the preparation steps?
A simple blood draw, one drop of blood on an FTA card, or extracted DNA can be submitted. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy team visits your home or office. Pre‑test preparation includes a mandatory genetic counselling session to document family history and explain the test’s scope.
3. How reliable is this test and what if the result is negative?
With 99.9% analytical sensitivity, the test reliably detects point mutations and small deletions/duplications within the SHROOM4 gene. A negative result reduces but does not entirely exclude the syndrome; further evaluation by a neurologist is advised.
