Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a consultant in medical genetics, I emphasize that the PDSS1 gene test is a cornerstone for diagnosing CoQ10 deficiency type 2. Identifying the precise pathogenic variant allows for targeted coenzyme Q10 supplementation, which can significantly modify disease progression. This test, combined with thorough clinical evaluation and family history, provides a roadmap for personalized management."

Clinical Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Always inform your physician about any supplements you are taking, including coenzyme Q10, to avoid potential interactions.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Do not undergo testing if experiencing acute metabolic crisis or uncontrolled seizures.
- Seek immediate emergency care for sudden loss of consciousness, severe muscle weakness, or breathing difficulties.
- Pregnant women should discuss genetic testing with their obstetrician before sampling.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the PDSS1 gene test used for?
The PDSS1 gene NGS test detects pathogenic mutations causing primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency type 2, enabling accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy. It also helps identify carriers for family planning.
2. How is the sample collected for this DNA test?
A simple blood draw or DNA sample on FTA card is collected at home by our DHA-licensed phlebotomist through our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service. The sample is transported under strict temperature‑controlled cold‑chain conditions.
3. Can this test be used for family planning or carrier screening?
Yes, the PDSS1 gene test identifies carrier status in relatives and aids in preconception genetic counselling to prevent disease recurrence. A positive result in a carrier can inform reproductive options such as prenatal diagnosis or preimplantation genetic testing.
