Test Overview & Methodology
This Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region of the F13B gene to identify pathogenic variants causing hereditary Factor XIIIB deficiency – a rare bleeding disorder. The analysis covers single‑nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, and copy number variations, delivering a clinically actionable report within 3–4 weeks from sample receipt.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403) – “This NGS panel provides a definitive molecular diagnosis for hereditary Factor XIIIB deficiency, complementing coagulation assays. Interpretation should always integrate full clinical history and family pedigree. A negative result does not rule out other inherited bleeding disorders; lifelong haematology follow‑up is recommended.”
Advisory Notice
⚠️ Do not discontinue any prescribed anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy without prior consultation with your treating physician.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Active bleeding or acute thrombosis – postpone testing until stabilised.
- Severe anaemia (Hb <7 g/dL) – require medical clearance before blood draw.
- Known allergy to latex or antiseptic solutions – inform the phlebotomist in advance.
- Seek emergency care if you experience sudden severe pain, swelling, or difficulty breathing after sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the F13B gene test detect and how long do results take?
Our NGS panel fully sequences the F13B gene, identifying mutations that cause Factor XIIIB deficiency, with a reliable 3–4‑week turnaround from sample receipt. The report lists all pathogenic, likely pathogenic, and variants of uncertain significance using ACMG guidelines, helping your physician confirm a bleeding disorder diagnosis.
2. Is a blood draw always required or can I use a cheek swab?
A standard peripheral whole blood sample (EDTA tube) is required. Extracted DNA or a single drop of blood on an FTA card is also accepted. Buccal swabs are not validated for this test; our home collection team will assist in obtaining the correct specimen.
3. Will my insurance cover the 2,800 AED cost for this NGS?
Coverage depends on your plan; we offer direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 and assist with pre‑authorisation. Our team will confirm your policy’s genetic testing benefits and coordinate any required referrals from a primary care doctor or haematologist.
