Test Overview & Methodology
The RRM1 gene autism-related NGS test sequences the entire coding region of the RRM1 gene to identify pathogenic variants linked with autism spectrum disorder. This advanced genetic screening tool provides critical diagnostic insights for early detection of neurodevelopmental disorders in the UAE.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS Panel) | Closest Alternative (Chromosomal Microarray) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity & single-nucleotide resolution | ~85% resolution for copy-number variants; misses point mutations |
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina platform) | Array-CGH / SNP microarray |
| Speed | 3 to 4 Weeks (rush options available) | 4 to 6 Weeks |
Pre-Test Requirements
A mandatory genetic counseling session is required prior to sample collection to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by RRM1-related autism. Please share the patient's complete clinical history with the ordering neurologist.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Genetic results must be interpreted within the full clinical picture. A negative RRM1 NGS does not exclude autism; this test is one piece of your child's neurological evaluation. I urge families to discuss all findings with a DHA-licensed neurologist or medical geneticist.

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic testing does not replace ongoing therapy or pharmacological management.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Inability to provide informed consent (patient over 18 years of age must consent; minors require guardian).
- Exclusion: Severe uncontrolled psychiatric episode that compromises safe sample collection.
- Red Flag: Sudden loss of communication skills, new-onset seizures, or regression โ seek emergency neurological assessment immediately.
- Red Flag: Acute chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headache during or following blood draw โ call 998 or go to your nearest emergency department.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the RRM1 gene autism NGS test actually detect?
This test sequences the entire RRM1 gene to identify single-nucleotide variants, indels, and copy-number changes linked to autism spectrum disorder. It provides high-resolution genetic data to support early diagnostic intervention.
2. How accurate is the genetic test for RRM1?
Using ISO-accredited NGS, the test achieves 99.9% analytical sensitivity and specificity for the RRM1 coding region, with Sanger confirmation of pathogenic variants to ensure diagnostic precision.
3. What sample type is required and how long does it take?
We accept whole blood (EDTA tube), extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot on an FTA card. The standard turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt at our Dubai laboratory.
4. Is home sample collection available for this genetic test?
Yes, VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature-Controlled Cold-Chain Home Collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM across all major UAE cities for standard blood specimens.
