Test Overview & Methodology
The AR gene NGS test detects mutations in the androgen receptor gene causing androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). This comprehensive analysis covers complete, partial, and mild forms, enabling precise clinical management and family planning. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) provides full gene coverage with bioinformatics confirmation, identifying point mutations and copy-number variations that alternative methods may miss.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage, detects point mutations & copy number variations | Limited to known hotspots; may miss large deletions |
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with bioinformatics confirmation | Sanger sequencing of individual exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 4 to 6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh | Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403 notes: "Understanding the genetic basis of androgen insensitivity syndrome empowers families and clinicians to make informed decisions about development, reproduction, and long-term health. This NGS-based test offers comprehensive detection of AR gene variants. Always correlate genetic results with clinical findings for a definitive diagnosis."
Advisory – Medication & Pretreatment Guidance
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without consulting your referring physician. Hormonal therapies, including androgen replacement or contraceptives, may influence test interpretation. Provide a complete medication list at the time of sample collection.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Do not proceed with this test under the following conditions:
- Individuals under 18 years require a legal guardian's written consent in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Recent blood transfusion (less than 2 weeks) may compromise DNA purity; defer collection if possible.
- Seek immediate emergency care if you experience fainting, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection after blood collection.
- This test is not intended for standalone diagnosis of acute medical conditions; results must be integrated with clinical evaluation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the AR gene androgen insensitivity NGS test detect?
This test identifies disease-causing DNA variants in the androgen receptor gene (AR). These variants can lead to complete, partial, or mild androgen insensitivity syndrome, which affects sexual development, fertility, and hormone responsiveness. Early molecular diagnosis enables tailored clinical management and family planning.
2. How is the sample collected and what are the requirements?
A standard peripheral whole blood sample is required (alternatively, extracted DNA or a dried blood spot on an FTA card is accepted). Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature-Controlled Cold-Chain Home Collection service ensures a sterile, convenient process. Collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. How long does it take to get results and what support is provided?
The turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt. Every patient receives a telephonic post-test clinical guidance session with a Consultant Medical Genetics to interpret results and discuss next steps. Insurance direct-billing verification is available via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
