Test Overview & Methodology
This next-generation sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the DDOST gene to diagnose congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ir (CDG-Ir), a rare metabolic disorder affecting protein glycosylation. The assay detects single nucleotide variants, small indels, and copy number variations with high precision, enabling definitive diagnosis and informed genetic counselling.
Clinical Ordering Specialists: General Physicians for initial suspicion, Medical & PhD Researchers for variant interpretation, and Anti-Aging Specialists integrating genetic risk profiling.
| Feature | Our DDOST Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Targeted Mutation Panel) |

| Method | NGS (Illumina platform, ISO-9001 certified) | Sanger sequencing of selected exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 weeks | 6โ8 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics at DNA Labs UAE, I emphasize that a positive DDOST mutation confirms CDG-Ir only when correlated with appropriate biochemical and clinical findings. A negative result does not exclude other glycosylation disorders. Always interpret results in the context of comprehensive metabolic workup and family pedigree.โ

Clinical Advisory
โ ๏ธ Do not discontinue prescribed medications without consulting your doctor. This genetic test is not a substitute for acute clinical management. For acute metabolic crisis (e.g., severe hypoglycemia, seizures) seek immediate emergency care.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- This test is not indicated for emergency diagnosis. For acute metabolic crisis, seek immediate medical attention.
- Pregnant women should consult their obstetrician before venipuncture; home collection available but clinical discretion advised.
- Patients on anticoagulant therapy require careful haemostasis management; notify phlebotomist in advance.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How long does the DDOST genetic test take, and what does the process involve?
The DDOST NGS test requires 3โ4 weeks from sample receipt for full sequencing and clinical interpretation by a certified geneticist. After booking, a trained phlebotomist collects a blood sample or FTA card spot at your home under cold-chain transport to our ISO-accredited lab. You will receive a secure report with variant classification. A mandatory pre-test genetic counselling session is arranged before collection.
2. Is this test covered by insurance in the UAE?
Most UAE insurers cover medically necessary genetic testing for congenital glycosylation disorders with a physicianโs referral; direct billing verification is available via WhatsApp. Simply send your insurance card and referral form to +971 54 548 8731, and our team will confirm coverage within 24 hours. Self-pay price remains at 2,800 AED.
3. Are there any risks or side effects from the blood draw?
A standard venipuncture carries minimal risk, such as mild bruising or discomfort, which resolves quickly; our VIP home service uses paediatric-trained phlebotomists for minimal stress. No fasting or special preparation is required. If you are using anticoagulants, please inform the collector to ensure safe pressure application.
