Turnaround Time: 3–4 Weeks
Sample: Peripheral Whole Blood / Extracted DNA / FTA Card
Test Overview & Methodology
This definitive genetic test analyses the entire coding region of the FGG gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to diagnose congenital afibrinogenemia, a rare bleeding disorder. The assay detects point mutations, small insertions/deletions, and copy number variations with a turnaround time of 3–4 weeks, delivering the highest diagnostic confidence available in the UAE.
| Feature | Our NGS Test | Alternative (Functional Assays) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing + CNV analysis | Fibrinogen antigen/activity assays |
| Diagnostic Depth | Identifies exact genetic mutation; carrier detection | Measures protein levels only – no genetic insight |
| Precision | >99.9% analytical sensitivity & specificity | Moderate; false positives possible in inflammatory states |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 1–5 days |
| Price (AED) | 2,800 | 500–800 |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“This NGS‑based test provides a definitive molecular diagnosis of congenital afibrinogenemia. It must be interpreted alongside a complete clinical and coagulation profile. Pre‑ and post‑test genetic counselling is essential to explain the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern and family planning implications.” – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403)
⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
If you are on anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin, aspirin), do not stop them unless explicitly advised by your physician. Inform our phlebotomist of all medications before sample collection.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active major bleeding requiring emergency intervention
- Known severe platelet disorder or concurrent anticoagulant overdose
- Inability to provide informed consent (or legal guardian consent for minors)
- Acute central nervous system symptoms (sudden severe headache, visual changes)
🚨 Call 998 immediately if you experience sudden, uncontrolled bleeding, chest pain, or signs of a stroke during the testing process.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive FGG gene test mean for my bleeding risk?
A: A positive result confirms a genetic mutation causing afibrinogenemia, meaning you have a lifelong deficiency of functional fibrinogen and require specialist haematology management to prevent bleeding episodes.
2. How long does it take to get the results, and what is the process?
A: Results are available within 3 to 4 weeks after our NGS laboratory receives your blood, extracted DNA, or FTA card, followed by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and clinical interpretation.
3. Is this test suitable for my newborn or child?
A: Yes, with a proper paediatric haematology referral and genetic counselling session; the test is performed on a small blood volume and complies with UAE regulations for minors.
4. Can I have the blood drawn at home?
A: Yes. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy service is available daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. A trained nurse will collect the sample at your home under temperature‑controlled cold‑chain conditions.
