Test Overview & Methodology
Hi‑C Sequencing maps the three‑dimensional architecture of the genome, identifying long‑range chromatin interactions and structural variations critical for cancer genomics, developmental biology, and precision medicine research. Sample collection requires whole blood in EDTA tubes (≥2 mL) or extracted DNA (≥2 µg). Heparin anticoagulants must be avoided as they interfere with enzymatic library preparation. No fasting is required.
| Feature | Our Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision & Method | In‑situ Hi‑C (Arima‑HiC / Dovetail™) with NovaSeq 6000 sequencing | Standard dilution Hi‑C, lower resolution, ligation bias |
| Bioinformatics Pipeline | HiC‑Pro + Juicer + 3D‑Genome Browser (latest pipelines) | Legacy HiCUP or basic HiCExplorer |
| Turnaround Time | 6 weeks | 8–12 weeks |
| Cold‑Chain Home Collection | Included (ISO certified) | Often not available |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that Hi‑C sequencing results must be integrated with full clinical history, imaging, and multidisciplinary evaluation. No single genomic test replaces a comprehensive medical work‑up. Interpretation should be conducted within a team of specialists, particularly in oncology cases.” – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory: Medication and Sample Collection
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. If you are on anticoagulants or antiplatelet therapy, discuss the blood collection procedure with your physician. For whole blood samples, avoid heparin collection tubes.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Active bleeding disorders, severe anaemia, or inability to safely provide a blood sample.
- Acute febrile illness or systemic infection.
- Anticoagulant therapy that cannot be paused – must be managed by the treating physician.
- Immediately visit the nearest emergency room if you experience uncontrolled bleeding, fainting, or signs of anaphylaxis after phlebotomy.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is Hi‑C sequencing and why would I need it?
Hi‑C sequencing reveals the three‑dimensional folding of chromosomes and identifies regulatory interactions between distant DNA regions. It is primarily used in advanced cancer research, chromosomal rearrangement studies, and developmental biology to pinpoint structural variants and gene‑regulatory networks that conventional sequencing may miss.
2. How is the sample collected and how long until I receive results?
Samples are collected via a painless VIP mobile phlebotomy visit or you can ship extracted DNA; results are delivered in 6 weeks using ISO‑certified laboratories. Our home collection service operates 8 AM – 11 PM daily, with strict cold‑chain transport to maintain sample integrity.
3. Is Hi‑C sequencing covered by health insurance in the UAE?
Direct billing verification is handled instantly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731; many premium UAE health plans cover advanced genomic testing. We check your policy before the visit and provide a guaranteed upfront approval or a transparent self‑pay option.
4. What safety precautions are taken during home collection?
Our phlebotomists follow strict infection control protocols, use single‑use sterile equipment, and ensure proper disposal. In case of any adverse event, you are guided to immediate medical care as per our safety exclusion criteria.
