Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced genetic test analyzes the FANCG gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect pathogenic variants responsible for Fanconi anemia type G, a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by congenital anomalies, progressive pancytopenia, and elevated risk of leukemia and solid tumors. The assay delivers definitive molecular diagnosis, carrier screening, and informed family planning guidance with a turnaround time of 3 to 4 weeks.
Clinical Indications & Referring Specialists
- Hematologists: Confirm Fanconi anemia type G in patients with bone marrow failure, persistent cytopenias, or abnormal chromosomal breakage studies.
- Oncologists: Evaluate hereditary cancer predisposition in families with clustering of leukemia or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and tailor surveillance protocols.
- General Physicians: Initiate diagnostic workup for children presenting with short stature, radial ray anomalies, café-au-lait spots, or unexplained developmental delay.
Diagnostic Performance: NGS vs. Conventional Sequencing
| Parameter | Our FANCG NGS Test | Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | >99.9% for coding and splice-site variants | ~95% (misses deep intronic and regulatory variants) |
| Coverage | Entire coding region plus 20 bp flanking intronic boundaries | Selected exons only |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 weeks | 6 – 8 weeks |
| ISO 9001:2015 | ✔ Certified | Not universally guaranteed |
| Genetic Counseling | ✔ Pre-test pedigree and post-test consultation included | Often an additional cost |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“This NGS-based test provides a precise molecular diagnosis that can transform clinical management for patients and families facing Fanconi anemia. However, every genetic finding must be contextualized within the full clinical picture—including family history, physical examination, and cytogenetic studies. A positive result is not a prognosis; it is a guide for informed decisions when paired with professional genetic counseling. Never alter any treatment or surveillance plan without first discussing the implications with your specialist.”

⚠ Medication Advisory
Do not stop, adjust, or initiate any prescribed therapy—including androgens, hematopoietic growth factors, or immunosuppressive agents—without direct consultation with your treating hematologist or oncologist.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- This test is not intended for acute or emergency diagnosis. If you experience sudden severe bleeding, high fever with neutropenia, or signs of sepsis, proceed immediately to the nearest emergency department.
- Minors (below 18 years) require documented consent from a legal guardian in accordance with UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 concerning health data and the Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Results must be reviewed by a licensed geneticist or specialist; do not use this report as a substitute for ongoing hematology or oncology follow-up.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the FANCG gene test and why is it recommended?
The FANCG NGS test detects disease-causing mutations in the FANCG gene, which are responsible for Fanconi anemia complementation group G. It is indicated for children with unexplained bone marrow failure, short stature, radial ray abnormalities, or multiple café-au-lait spots, and for couples planning a family who wish to understand their carrier status for inherited cancer predisposition syndromes. Approximately 60% of Fanconi anemia cases are linked to a specific complementation group; this test provides a definitive molecular answer for type G.
2. How is the test performed and what does the cost include?
A peripheral whole blood sample (2–3 mL in EDTA) or a buccal swab is collected at your home or office by a DHA-licensed phlebotomist operating under full cold-chain protocols. Results are reported within 3–4 weeks. The price of 2,800 AED covers pre-test genetic counseling to construct a three-generation pedigree, the NGS laboratory analysis with bioinformatics interpretation, and a post-test telephone consultation with a Consultant Medical Geneticist. No fasting or special preparation is required.
3. Is genetic counseling included and how does insurance billing work?
Pre-test genetic counseling is mandatory under UAE clinical guidelines; we provide both pre-test pedigree mapping and post-test telephonic guidance as part of the package. Our team performs direct insurance billing verification in real time via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731, and we accept most major UAE health plans under direct billing arrangements. A certified genetic counselor will guide you through the consent process and help interpret the implications of your results for family members.
