Test Overview
This Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test fully analyzes the NALCN gene to detect pathogenic variants causing infantile neuroaxonal neurodegeneration with facial dysmorphism—a severe early‑onset neurological disorder. In the UAE, our ISO‑certified genomic laboratory delivers the definitive diagnosis with turnaround in 3–4 weeks, empowering families and clinicians with critical data for precision management and genetic counseling.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA Approved) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage via NGS with >99.9% analytical sensitivity and specificity | Targeted mutation panels – miss rare/novel variants |
| Method | NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) with copy‑number analysis | Sanger sequencing (single‑exon focus) – lower resolution |
| Turnaround | 3–4 weeks from accession | 6–10 weeks (overseas send‑out) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“This NALCN genetic test provides critical information, but it must be interpreted within the complete clinical picture. A negative result does not fully exclude the condition, and a positive result requires multidisciplinary follow‑up. I strongly recommend pre‑ and post‑test genetic counseling.”
⚠ Medication Safety Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or adjust treatment based solely on this test result without direct consultation with your managing physician. Sudden discontinuation of anticonvulsants, neuroprotective agents, or supplements can be life‑threatening.
🚨 Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Inadequate sample (less than 1 µg of genomic DNA or incorrectly stored specimen) will require recollection.
- Exclusion: Patients who have received an allogeneic bone marrow transplant within the past 90 days – donor DNA may confound results.
- Emergency Red Flag – Seek immediate medical attention if: The child develops uncontrolled seizures, acute respiratory distress, or signs of acute metabolic decompensation (vomiting, lethargy, hypoglycemia) unrelated to the testing process.
Frequently Asked Questions (Patient & Clinical Guidance)
1. What does a positive NALCN gene mutation mean for my child’s future?
A positive result confirms a genetic diagnosis of infantile neuroaxonal neurodegeneration with facial dysmorphism, providing prognostic clarity and guiding early interventions such as antiepileptic management and nutritional support. Your genetic counselor will explain the inheritance pattern (autosomal dominant/de novo), recurrence risk for future pregnancies, and connect you with a pediatric neurology multidisciplinary team in the UAE.

2. How is the performed and is it painful for my infant?
A simple venipuncture (1–2 ml of whole blood) or even a painless finger‑prick onto an FTA card is sufficient; our pediatric‑trained phlebotomists use numbing creams and distraction techniques to ensure minimal discomfort. Home collection makes it even less stressful. The sample is then shipped under strict cold‑chain conditions to our ISO‑certified genomics laboratory for NGS analysis.
يتم سحب عينة دم بسيطة (1-2 مل) أو وخزة صغيرة غير مؤلمة على بطاقة FTA مع استخدام كريمات تخدير موضعي وخدمة السحب المنزلي لتقليل أي إزعاج.
3. Can I use this result for insurance and disability claims in the UAE?
Our DHA‑compliant report includes all necessary ICD‑10 and LOINC codes and is accepted by all major UAE insurers and government disability authorities, provided you present the original certified report issued by our medical director. We assist with direct billing verification and supply any additional documentation required for Emirates ID‑linked medical records under UAE PDPL data‑protection standards.
