CFTR Gene Cystic Fibrosis Genetic Test in UAE | 2800 AED | DHA Licensed
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Test Overview & Methodology
The CFTR Gene Cystic Fibrosis Genetic Test analyzes the entire CFTR gene using Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect pathogenic variants linked to cystic fibrosis. This comprehensive approach provides the highest diagnostic accuracy, covering all exons and splice sites. The test is performed on peripheral whole blood collected under strict ISO‑accredited protocols.
| Feature | Our NGS Comprehensive Test | Traditional Mutation Panel |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | 100% sequencing of all CFTR exons & splice sites | Limited to 23–97 common mutations |
| LOINC | 48002-3 – full gene analysis | Targeted genotyping only |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 weeks | 1–2 weeks |
| Detection Rate | >99% sensitivity for known & novel variants | ~80–90% depending on ethnicity |
| Price | 2800 AED | Variable (often 1500–2500 AED) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Understanding your CFTR genetic status is a significant step in managing cystic fibrosis risk or carrier planning. Please remember that molecular results must always be correlated with clinical symptoms and additional functional tests. Genetic counselling is recommended before and after testing.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your physician. A negative genetic test result does not replace ongoing clinical management or eliminate the need for regular follow‑up.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active untreated systemic infection, coagulation disorder (INR > 2.0), or inability to undergo venipuncture – discuss with your provider.
- Red Flag – Seek Emergency Care: New or worsening shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish lips/skin), severe abdominal pain with vomiting, or signs of dehydration.
- Minors: Written informed parental/guardian consent is mandatory as per UAE Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CFTR gene cystic fibrosis NGS test?
This advanced test sequences the entire CFTR gene to identify disease‑causing mutations, offering the highest diagnostic accuracy for cystic fibrosis. It is recommended for individuals with symptoms, family history, or as a carrier screen.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed, but genetic counselling before sample collection is strongly recommended to understand possible outcomes and implications for family members.
3. How will I receive my results and what do they mean?
Your comprehensive report is delivered securely within 3 to 4 weeks, detailing any pathogenic variants with clinical interpretation and carrier status. A follow-up telephonic consultation with a genetic specialist is included to discuss the findings.
UAE Regulatory & Data Privacy Adherence
