التحليل الجيني الجزيئي لجين SETD2 باستخدام تقنية التسلسل من الجيل التالي (NGS) بدقة تشخيصية تصل إلى 99.9% ومعتمد من المختبرات الطبية وفقاً للمرسوم بقانون اتحادي رقم 41 لسنة 2024. العينة المقبولة: دم كامل، حمض نووي مستخلص، أو بقعة دم جافة على بطاقة FTA. مدة النتيجة: 3-4 أسابيع. السعر: 2800 درهم إماراتي شامل الاستشارة الوراثية المنزلية وخدمة السحب المتنقل.
Test Overview & Clinical Context
This next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel targets the entire coding region of the SETD2 gene to identify pathogenic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions. Designed for UAE families, the test delivers comprehensive variant calling and clinical interpretation aligned with 2026 ACMG guidelines, enabling precise diagnosis, recurrence risk counseling, and personalized medical management.
Advanced Therapeutic Guidance
Positive results may inform targeted surveillance (e.g., cardiac screening, metabolic monitoring) and guide enrollment in gene-specific clinical trials. Our clinical team provides actionable recommendations tailored to each variant.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS Gene Panel) | Closest Alternative (Exome Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical Depth | 100% coverage of SETD2 exons, intronic boundaries, and known regulatory regions; variant detection rate >99.9% for SNVs, indels | Whole-exome coverage with possible gaps in SETD2 due to capture design; lower read depth may miss low-level mosaicism |
| Clinical Interpretation | Gene-specific ACMG classification with dedicated autism neurogeneticist review | Broad analysis; often requires secondary gene-level curation |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–10 weeks |
| UAE Regulatory Compliance | Fully compliant with Federal Decree-Law No. 41/2024 (Art. 87) lab standards and PDPL data privacy | Variable; often lacks local data hosting assurances |
Physician Insight & Patient Safety Protocol
Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA: 61713011), Senior Neurologist & Medical Geneticist: "Understanding a child’s genetic makeup is a vital step toward personalized neurological care. I remind every family that a genetic diagnosis is not a solitary verdict; it must be correlated with clinical assessments, developmental history, and multidisciplinary evaluations. Let this test guide our decisions, never replace the art of medicine."
⚠️ Medication Safety Alert
Do not discontinue prescribed medication or alter any therapy based on this test result without consulting your treating physician. Always discuss findings with a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your child’s treatment plan.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Patients with known active bleeding disorders or severe anemia who cannot provide a blood sample are advised to use DNA extraction or FTA card collection under medical supervision.
- ER Red Flag: If the child develops new-onset seizures, sudden loss of developmental milestones, or signs of metabolic crisis (vomiting, lethargy, hypoglycemia) before or after testing, seek emergency medical evaluation immediately.
- Genetic Counseling: A pre-test counseling session (included) is mandatory to draw a detailed three-generation pedigree. Failure to complete this may delay result interpretation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How long does it take to receive results after sample collection?
The turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks from the day our ISO-certified laboratory receives your sample, ensuring thorough sequencing, variant confirmation, and senior scientist interpretation.
تستغرق النتائج من 3 إلى 4 أسابيع بعد استلام العينة في المختبر المعتمد دولياً، مما يضمن التحليل الكامل والتفسير الدقيق للنتائج.
2. What samples are accepted, and is the collection painful for my child?
A simple blood draw (whole blood), a small volume of extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card is sufficient; our pediatric-trained phlebotomists use numbing techniques to minimize discomfort.
نقبل عينة دم وريدي كامل، أو حمض نووي مستخلص، أو قطرة دم واحدة على بطاقة FTA. يتم السحب بواسطة فريق متخصص في رعاية الأطفال لتقليل أي ألم.
3. Will my insurance cover the cost of this genetic?
Many UAE insurers reimburse medically indicated genetic tests when a neurologist or clinical geneticist orders them; we provide direct billing verification and supporting documentation via WhatsApp to streamline pre-approval.
