Sample Collection
Patient should provide detailed clinical history and family pedigree. Genetic counseling is recommended prior to testing to understand implications and prepare for sample collection.
Method: Venipuncture or finger prick for FTA card
Laboratory Analysis
Blood sample is collected via venipuncture into an EDTA tube or a drop of blood is applied to an FTA card, following standard aseptic techniques.
Report Delivery
Sample is transported to the laboratory for DNA extraction and NGS analysis, with results processed and reviewed by genetic experts.
Timeline: 3 to 4 weeks from sample collection

Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of FLNA Gene FG Syndrome Type 2. Genetic counseling and further neurological evaluation recommended for management planning.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutation detected in the FLNA gene. Clinical correlation needed; consider other genetic causes or diagnostic approaches.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing, family studies, or functional analysis may be required for variant classification and clinical interpretation.
If you or your child exhibits symptoms such as developmental delay, seizures, intellectual disability, or if there is a family history of FG Syndrome or related neurological disorders.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of genetic variants
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings
- ⚠Not a substitute for comprehensive neurological evaluation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk associated with blood draw, such as bruising or infection at the puncture site
- ●No significant risks related to genetic testing itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Degraded DNA
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
Compare With Similar Tests
| Test | FLNA Gene FG syndrome type 2 NGS Genetic Test | FLNA Gene Sanger Sequencing | Whole Exome Sequencing | Chromosomal Microarray Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comparison | FLNA Gene FG syndrome type 2 NGS Genetic Test | Sanger sequencing is targeted but less comprehensive than NGS, which allows for simultaneous analysis of multiple genes and detects a broader range of variants. | Whole Exome Sequencing covers all genes but is more expensive and complex. FLNA-specific NGS is cost-effective for suspected cases with focused clinical presentation. | Detects large deletions/duplications but not point mutations. NGS is superior for identifying single gene disorders like FLNA mutations. |
