Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced genetic test employs next‑generation sequencing (NGS) to interrogate the entire CYP11A1 gene, detecting pathogenic variants associated with congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia and 46,XY sex reversal (partial or complete). The assay achieves full gene coverage including copy number variation (CNV) detection, providing a molecular diagnosis with high specificity.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“This test provides critical molecular data for a rare adrenal disorder, but a DNA variant alone does not define the complete clinical picture. Every result must be integrated with hormonal assays, imaging, and a thorough medical history. My goal is to ensure families receive comprehensive, understandable guidance throughout the diagnostic journey.”
— Ms. Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA License 9294403
Advisory – Medication Safety
Do not alter or stop any prescribed medications (e.g., glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids) without prior consultation with your treating physician. Abrupt discontinuation may trigger an adrenal crisis.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Age <18 years without written informed consent from a legal guardian, in accordance with Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Pregnancy is not a contraindication, but pre‑test genetic counselling is mandatory under UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
- Acute adrenal crisis (severe vomiting, hypotension, altered consciousness) — seek emergency care immediately before scheduling genetic testing.
- If the patient experiences sudden fatigue, weight loss, salt craving, or hyperpigmentation, contact your physician urgently.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the CYP11A1 NGS test detect, and how does it confirm a diagnosis?
This test identifies pathogenic DNA variants in the CYP11A1 gene, confirming a genetic cause of congenital adrenal insufficiency with 46,XY sex reversal by comparing sequences against established reference databases.
2. Is a blood sample required, and can it be collected at home?
A single peripheral blood sample or buccal swab is sufficient. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy team offers home collection with cold‑chain transport to ensure sample stability.
3. How long does it take to get the results, and do you provide genetic counselling?
Results are available within 3 to 4 weeks. A post‑test telephone counselling session is included to interpret the report in plain language and discuss clinical implications.
