1 Test name: Epilepsy 53 Gene Panel UKGTN Testing Criteria Approved name and symbol of disorder/condition(s): Epilepsy Panel Test See Appendix 1 Approved name and symbol of gene(s): See Appendix 2 OMIM number(s): See Appendix 1 OMIM number(s): See Appendix 2 Patient name: Patient postcode: Date of birth: NHS number: Name of referrer: Title/Position: Lab ID: Referrals will only be accepted from one of the following: Referrer Consultant Paediatric Neurologist Consultant Adult Neurologist Consultant Clinical Geneticist Tick if this refers to you. Minimum criteria required for testing to be appropriate as stated in the Gene Dossier: Criteria Epilepsy with clinical suspicion of genetic cause including features such as early onset, family history, dysmorphic features and brain malformations Tick if this patient meets criteria Additional Information: For panel tests: At risk family members where familial mutation is known do not require a full panel test but should be offered analysis of the known mutation If the sample does not fulfil the clinical criteria or you are not one of the specified types of referrer and you still feel that testing should be performed please contact the laboratory to discuss testing of the sample.
