Test Overview & Methodology
Overview – What This Test Reveals
The RAD50 NGS test comprehensively analyzes the RAD50 gene for pathogenic variants linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). It empowers individuals with a significant family history to assess cancer risk and guide personalised prevention strategies under DHA‑approved guidelines.
| Feature | Our RAD50 NGS Test | Closest Alternative (BRCA1/2 Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Gene Coverage | Full RAD50 gene (all exons, splice sites, copy number variants) | BRCA1 and BRCA2 only |
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) with bioinformatics validation | PCR + Sanger sequencing (limited variant detection) |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 Weeks | 2 – 4 Weeks (laboratory dependent) |
| UAE Regulatory Compliance | DHA‑recognised, MOHAP licensed, ISO 9001:2015 | Variable; often lacks local genetic counselling integration |
| Price (AED) | 2800 | 2400 – 2800 |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a clinical geneticist, I emphasise that your test result must be correlated with your full personal and family cancer history. A positive RAD50 variant indicates an elevated lifetime risk, not a cancer diagnosis, and requires careful planning with your oncologist or gynaecologist. Please do not discontinue any prescribed medication without first consulting your treating doctor.”

Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Bone marrow transplant: Allogeneic transplant recipients may have donor DNA – please inform the lab; a non‑blood sample may be required.
- Recent blood transfusion (<2 weeks): May temporarily alter DNA profile; reschedule collection.
- Pregnancy (non‑essential testing): Genetic screening during pregnancy should only be performed under direct specialist guidance and with stringent counselling.
- Psychological vulnerability: If you experience severe anxiety or suicidal thoughts triggered by genetic risk information, seek immediate mental health support. Your well‑being is paramount.
- Minors: Testing of individuals under 18 years requires documented clinical necessity, informed consent from a legal guardian, and approval by a Dubai Health Authority‑registered clinical geneticist, in line with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Who should consider this RAD50 genetic test?
This is recommended for individuals with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, especially multiple affected relatives or early‑onset cases, to determine inherited susceptibility.
2. How do I interpret a positive RAD50 result?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic variant that increases lifetime cancer risk, requiring personalised surveillance and risk-reduction strategies discussed with your oncologist or gynaecologist.
3. What is the turnaround time for results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt due to comprehensive NGS sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and clinical interpretation.
4. Is genetic counselling provided with the test?
Yes, a telephonic post-test clinical guidance session is included free of charge to help you understand your results and plan next steps.
