Test Overview & Methodology
The CAH Deletion & Duplication Detection test employs Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) to identify pathogenic copy number variants in the CYP21A2 gene, enabling accurate diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia. This UAE-based genetic analysis offers a rapid 7–10 day turnaround with DHA-compliant interpretive reporting for endocrinologists, geneticists, and reproductive medicine specialists.
| Feature | Our Test (MLPA) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | High-resolution copy number detection (deletions/duplications) | Point mutations only; limited copy number assessment |
| Method | Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (Gold Standard) | Chain-termination DNA sequencing (Sanger) |
| Speed | 7–10 Days | 2–3 Weeks Typical |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a Consultant Medical Genetics specialist, I recommend this MLPA-based deletion/duplication analysis for patients presenting with atypical genitalia, salt-wasting crises, or elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone. Genetic confirmation is essential for long-term management and family counseling." – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403.
Medication Advisory
Do not adjust or discontinue prescribed corticosteroid therapy without explicit guidance from your managing endocrinologist. Abrupt cessation can precipitate an adrenal crisis, which is a life-threatening emergency.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Not suitable for patients who have undergone recent blood transfusion (within 4 weeks).
- Active hematological disorders that may compromise sample integrity.
- ER Red Flags: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe vomiting, dehydration, low blood pressure, or symptoms of adrenal crisis following blood draw.
