Sample Collection
Provide detailed clinical history of the patient, including symptoms, family history, and any prior diagnoses. A genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members.
Method: Venipuncture or fingerstick
Laboratory Analysis
Sample collection involves drawing blood via venipuncture or using a fingerstick for a blood drop on an FTA card. The process is minimally invasive and performed by trained professionals.
Report Delivery
Apply pressure to the collection site to prevent bleeding. Store the sample as per instructions and transport to the lab promptly. No specific post-collection care is required.
Timeline: Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt.

Understanding Your Results
Consult a healthcare professional if you experience symptoms of myoclonus, have a family history of the condition, or receive positive or uncertain test results. Genetic counseling is advised for all outcomes.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in the NOL3 gene
- ⚠Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings
- ⚠Genetic variants of uncertain significance may be identified
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic or non-genetic causes of myoclonus
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as slight pain, bruising, or infection at the site
- ●No significant risks associated with genetic testing itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Improper sample handling or storage
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA quality
- ●Use of certain medications that impact DNA integrity
