Test Overview & Methodology
This genetic test analyses the entire coding region of the DNASE1L3 gene to identify pathogenic variants associated with autosomal recessive Systemic Lupus Erythematosus type 16 (SLE16). Results aid in diagnosis, familial risk assessment, and personalised disease management under DHA regulatory oversight.
| Feature | Our Test (ISO 9001:2015) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | NGS – full gene sequencing with >99% base accuracy | Single gene targeted mutation panel – misses rare variants |
| Methodology | Illumina® NGS platform with Sanger validation of clinically significant variants | MLPA or Sanger sequencing of select exons only |
| Speed | Turnaround time 3–4 weeks; expedited reporting available | 5–6 weeks typical |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Comprehensive genetic analysis of DNASE1L3 provides crucial information for the diagnosis and management of SLE type 16. However, results must always be interpreted in the context of the patient's clinical presentation and family history. Pre- and post-test genetic counselling is strongly recommended."

⚠ Medication Advisory
Genetic test results should not be used as a basis to discontinue or alter prescribed medications without consulting your treating physician. Always discuss the implications of your test results with your rheumatologist or genetic specialist before making any changes to therapy.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- This test is not intended for acute diagnosis; clinical emergencies must be managed in a hospital setting.
- ER Red Flags: If you experience sudden high fever, difficulty breathing, severe chest pain, or new‑onset seizures, proceed immediately to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for genetic results.
- Patients with active severe bleeding disorders must inform the phlebotomist before sample collection.
- Minors require legal guardian consent as per Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the DNASE1L3 NGS test for diagnosing lupus type 16?
This test identifies >99% of pathogenic DNASE1L3 variants with near‑zero false positives due to orthogonal Sanger confirmation. It is the most reliable genetic tool for SLE16. False negatives can occur if the mutation lies in deep intronic regions not covered by the standard panel; your genetic counsellor will discuss any limitations during the pre‑test session.
2. Can I use an FTA card sample instead of a blood draw?
Yes, a single drop of blood on an FTA card is accepted and offers the same diagnostic accuracy when processed within 72 hours of collection. This is particularly convenient for home collection or paediatric patients; our VIP mobile phlebotomy team will guide you through the procedure.
3. Does health insurance cover the DNASE1L3 gene test in the UAE?
Coverage varies; our direct billing team verifies your insurance policy instantly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731, and we assist with pre‑approval under DHA‑approved indications. Self‑pay patients receive a detailed invoice with ISO 9001:2015 certification for potential reimbursement.
