Test Overview & Methodology
This Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test fully analyses the entire ERLIN1 gene to identify mutations causing autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia type SPG62. The test covers all coding exons and splice-site regions with validated bioinformatics, providing a definitive molecular diagnosis.
| Feature | Our ERLIN1 NGS Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage, detection of all coding and splice-site variants | Targeted mutation analysis only (limited panel) |
| Methodology | NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) with ISO 9001:2015 validated bioinformatics | Sanger sequencing or exome slice (incomplete) |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 6โ8 Weeks (avg.) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โThe ERLIN1 gene sequencing test provides a definitive molecular diagnosis for SPG62 hereditary spastic paraplegia. It is essential to correlate genetic findings with clinical symptoms, family history, and neurological examination for accurate interpretation and management.โ

Medication Advisory
โ ๏ธ Important: Do not discontinue any prescribed medications without consulting your physician. Genetic test results are not a substitute for clinical judgment or ongoing therapy adjustments.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Unstable neurological status or acute encephalopathy โ postpone testing until stable.
- Known allergy to antiseptics used in blood draw โ inform phlebotomist beforehand.
- New-onset seizures, sudden vision loss, or severe muscle weakness โ seek emergency care immediately.
- Pregnancy or current systemic infection may affect sample stability; consult a nurse before scheduling.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the ERLIN1 Gene (SPG62) NGS test used for?
A: This genetic test sequences the entire ERLIN1 gene to detect mutations causing hereditary spastic paraplegia type 62. It is indicated for patients with progressive lower limb spasticity and a family history suggestive of autosomal recessive inheritance.
2. How should I prepare for this test?
A: A genetic counseling session and pedigree chart are required before sample collection. No fasting is necessary, but inform the phlebotomist of any anticoagulant use or bleeding disorders.
3. Will my insurance cover the 2,800 AED cost?
A: Direct billing verification is available via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Most UAE health insurance policies cover genetic testing when medically indicated, but prior approval may be required.
