Test Overview & Methodology
Sanger sequencing, the gold-standard method for confirming single nucleotide variants and small insertions/deletions, precisely identifies a specific familial or suspected mutation. This test is mandated for carrier screening, pre-marital genetic counselling, and paediatric diagnostic workups under DHA guidelines. The assay uses bidirectional sequencing to achieve >99.9% analytical accuracy, ensuring reliable confirmation of known or suspected pathogenic variants.
| Feature | Our Test (Sanger Single Variant) | Closest Alternative (NGS Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% for targeted variant | High breadth, lower depth at single locus |
| Method | Gold-standard bidirectional Sanger | Massively parallel sequencing (NGS) |
| Speed | Report in 30 working days | Often 2–4 weeks, may miss low-frequency variants |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“A single-variant result is only meaningful when correlated with clinical phenotype and family history. This test confirms a specific mutation with near-absolute certainty but cannot exclude other genetic aetiologies; follow-up genetic counselling remains essential, especially for paediatric patients in the UAE where consanguinity elevates autosomal recessive risk. The patient’s full clinical picture, including ancestry and inheritance patterns, must guide interpretation.”

Important Medication Advisory
⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic test results may influence treatment decisions, but any changes must be made under medical supervision.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not designed for emergency diagnosis; do not delay acute care awaiting results.
- Not suitable as a stand-alone screen for diseases caused by multiple genes or large chromosomal rearrangements.
- Emergency Red Flags: If the patient (especially a child) develops seizures, loss of consciousness, respiratory distress, or sudden deterioration, seek hospital emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the accuracy of Sanger sequencing for detecting a single variant?
