Overview
This advanced genetic test sequences the ITGAM gene using Genetic Test supports early risk stratification and personalized preventive care.
| Aspect | Our NGS Test (ITGAM) | Closest Alternative (PCR SNP Genotyping) |
|---|---|---|
| Detection Scope | All coding regions, splice sites, rare and novel variants | Only pre-defined common SNPs (limited coverage) |
| Analytical Sensitivity | 99.9% | ~85-90% for targeted positions |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 Weeks | 2 – 3 Weeks |
| Clinical Utility | Comprehensive risk profiling; suitable for family screening | Basic risk assessment; may miss rare pathogenic variants |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a clinical pathologist, I emphasise that this test provides a powerful genetic risk signature, but it must always be interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and autoimmune markers. A positive result is not a diagnosis; it guides further comprehensive evaluation by a rheumatologist, dermatologist, or clinical geneticist. I urge every patient to discuss their result in a dedicated post-test counselling session for truly informed health decisions.” — Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License 61713011
⛔ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue or modify prescribed medication (e.g., hydroxychloroquine, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants) based on this genetic test result without consulting your treating physician. Abrupt changes can trigger severe disease flares.
🛑 Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- This test is not indicated for minors without a court‑appointed guardian; refer to UAE CDS Law 2026 for pediatric genetic testing consent.
- If you experience acute chest pain, severe shortness of breath, sudden vision loss, or seizures, proceed to the nearest emergency department immediately — these are NOT related to testing but may indicate active lupus involvement.
- Patients with active infections or recent blood transfusions may need to wait 4 weeks before sample collection (consult our team).
- Test results must be correlated with clinical findings; a negative result does not rule out SLE if symptoms persist.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How does the ITGAM NGS test help in lupus risk assessment?
This test sequences the entire ITGAM gene to detect rare and common variants that significantly raise the lifetime risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus, enabling early surveillance and personalised prevention strategies. Results are interpreted by a multidisciplinary team including rheumatologists and clinical geneticists to guide further immunological workup.
2. ما مدة ظهور النتيجة وهل يلزم استشارة طبية مسبقة؟
تظهر النتيجة خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع، ويجب إجراء جلسة استشارة وراثية قبل سحب العينة لرسم شجرة العائلة وتقييم التاريخ العائلي للمرض. تُفسر النتيجة عبر طبيب مختص لتحديد الخطوات الوقائية المناسبة.
Turnaround time is 3–4 weeks; a mandatory pre‑test genetic counselling session draws a pedigree chart of affected family members and reviews clinical history.
