ADAM10 Gene Sequencing for Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK) in UAE | 2800 AED | 2026 DHA Guidelines
تحليل جين ADAM10 لفرط التصبغ الشبكي في كيتامورا في الإمارات | ٢٨٠٠ درهم | معتمد من هيئة الصحة بدبي
الفحص الجيني لجين ADAM10 لتشخيص فرط التصبغ الشبكي في كيتامورا بدقة 99.9%، مع خدمة السحب المنزلي والحفاظ على سلسلة التبريد، واستشارة وراثية بعد الفحص لضمان فهم النتائج وإدارة الحالة.
Overview
The ADAM10 Gene Analysis utilises Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect pathogenic variants in the ADAM10 gene, confirming a diagnosis of Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK), a rare autosomal dominant pigmentary disorder. يهدف التحليل إلى تقديم تشخيص جزيئي دقيق لفرط التصبغ الشبكي الوراثي، مما يتيح استشارة وراثية فعالة وإدارة طبية مخصصة.
| Feature | Our Test – Precision NGS | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity; full gene coverage (exons, splice sites, deep intronic regions) | 95–98% sensitivity; limited to exonic regions, may miss deep intronic variants |
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) – massive parallel sequencing | Sanger sequencing – single amplicon analysis |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks for full gene coverage |
| Sample & Logistics | Simple blood draw; ISO cold-chain home collection included | Blood draw; often requires hospital visit |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a dermatologist and genetic testing specialist, I emphasise that this ADAM10 test is highly specific, yet clinical correlation with reticulate pigmentation patterns and family history remains indispensable. A negative result does not exclude other genetic pigmentary disorders, and test outcomes must always be interpreted by a qualified clinician. Please continue your current prescribed treatments and never discontinue any medication without direct consultation with your doctor.”

Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test does not replace clinical evaluation.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Do not undergo blood collection if you have an active skin infection or cellulitis at the venepuncture site.
- Recent blood transfusion (within 4 weeks) may interfere with germline genetic analysis; please inform the phlebotomist.
- ER Red Flags: If you experience sudden, widespread skin blistering, severe photosensitivity, or signs of systemic illness (fever, joint pain, neurological symptoms), seek immediate medical attention – these are not typical of RAK but require urgent evaluation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What is Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK)?
Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura is a rare genetic skin condition characterised by a network-like pattern of hyperpigmentation typically beginning in adolescence. فرط التصبغ الشبكي في كيتامورا هو اضطراب جلدي وراثي نادر يتميز بظهور تصبغات شبكية الشكل تبدأ عادة في سن المراهقة.
How is the ADAM10 gene test performed?
The test requires a simple blood sample collected through our ISO-certified home phlebotomy service, then analysed by Next-Generation Sequencing of the entire ADAM10 gene. يتم إجراء الفحص من خلال سحب عينة دم بسيطة عن طريق خدمة السحب المنزلي المعتمدة، ثم تحليل جين ADAM10 الكامل بتقنية التسلسل الجيني المتقدم (NGS).
How will I receive my results and understand them?
Results are delivered in a secure digital report within 3–4 weeks, followed by a mandatory post- genetic counselling session to interpret findings and guide family screening. تظهر النتائج في تقرير رقمي آمن خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع، تليها جلسة استشارة وراثية إلزامية لشرح النتائج وتوجيه فحص أفراد العائلة.
