Test Overview & Methodology
The GPT2 gene NGS test detects pathogenic variants responsible for Mental Retardation, Autosomal Recessive Type 49 (MRT49), a severe neurodevelopmental disorder presenting with intellectual disability, global developmental delay, and postnatal microcephaly. This analysis uses Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) with 100% coverage of coding exons to provide a definitive genetic diagnosis for affected children, carrier testing for families, and early intervention planning.
| Parameter | Our Test (GPT2 NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | NGS – Illumina platform with >500x depth | Sanger sequencing of individual exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks (Standard) | 6–8 Weeks |
| Variant Detection | SNVs, indels, copy number changes (MLPA) | SNVs and small indels only |
| Clinical Utility | Comprehensive – includes full gene analysis | Targeted to known familial variant |
| Price (AED) | 2800 | ~3500 (per exon) |
Loinc: 101120-6 (GPT2 gene) | ICD‑10‑CM: F79, Z13.71, Z14.8
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a neurologist, I appreciate the challenges families face when a diagnosis of MRT49 is suspected. A positive GPT2 mutation provides a definitive genetic answer, yet it does not fully predict the individual developmental outcome; therefore, clinical correlation with detailed neurological examination and neuroimaging remains indispensable for guiding early intervention and supportive therapies. I strongly encourage all patients to undergo pre‑test genetic counseling to understand the implications of their results fully.”

Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including anti‑epileptic drugs or neurotropic supplements, without consulting your treating physician. Abrupt cessation may trigger severe neurological worsening.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Indicators
- This test is not indicated for asymptomatic adults without a family history of MRT49.
- Home collection is withheld if the patient shows acute confusion, new‑onset seizures, or unstable vital signs.
- ER red flags: Sudden loss of developmental milestones, status epilepticus, or severe dehydration – seek immediate emergency care.
- Patient must provide written informed consent; for minors, legal guardian consent is mandatory per UAE CDS Law 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How accurate is the GPT2 NGS test for diagnosing mental retardation type 49?
The GPT2 NGS offers >99.9% analytic sensitivity and specificity for single‑nucleotide variants and small indels in the GPT2 gene, establishing a gold‑standard genetic diagnosis when combined with clinical findings. Every batch is validated against reference DNA and processed in an ISO 9001:2015 certified laboratory.
۲. هل يمكن إجراء الاختبار لطفل عمره سنتين؟
نعم، الاختبار مناسب لجميع الأعمار، ويتم سحب عينة دم واحدة من الوريد أو باستخدام بطاقة FTA. نتبع قانون حماية بيانات الأطفال الاماراتي، ونشترط موافقة الوالدين. النتائج تساعد في التخطيط للعلاج المبكر.
