Test Overview & Methodology
Test Overview
The IL12RB1 Gene Sequencing NGS Test detects pathogenic variants in the IL12RB1 gene, confirming Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease (MSMD), a primary immunodeficiency causing severe atypical mycobacterial infections. This advanced genetic test enables precise diagnosis, guiding targeted preventive care and family screening.
Methodology Comparison
| Feature | Our IL12RB1 NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity; full gene coverage including CNVs | <95% for full gene deletions; limited to known mutation hotspots |
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) with complete exon capture | Sanger sequencing; single amplicon-based, time‑consuming |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
| Home Collection | Included (ISO Cold‑Chain, VIP Phlebotomy) | Not available |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Clinical Note from Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration: 9294403):
As a medical geneticist, I emphasize that a positive result must be interpreted alongside immunological and infectious disease evaluations. Genetic counseling is essential before testing to understand inheritance patterns and implications for family members. I strongly advise a multidisciplinary approach with your dermatologist, immunologist, and genetic counselor to interpret your unique profile.
Advisory: Important Medication Safety
⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Always discuss result implications with a qualified healthcare professional before making any treatment changes.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Recent blood transfusion (within 4 weeks) may introduce donor DNA; reschedule collection.
- Exclusion: Active febrile illness or severe infection – consult your physician before sample collection.
- ER Red Flag: High fever unresponsive to antipyretics, respiratory distress, or signs of disseminated infection – seek immediate emergency care.
- ER Red Flag: Haemoptysis, severe headache with neck stiffness, or confusion after blood draw – call 998 or go to nearest ER.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the IL12RB1 gene test used for?
It diagnoses Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease due to IL12RB1 mutations with 99.9% diagnostic precision.
2. How is the sample collected?
Blood is collected at home by a certified phlebotomist with ISO cold‑chain transport for unmatched DNA integrity.
3. What is the price and turnaround time?
The test costs AED 2800 with results in 3–4 weeks, including genetic counseling and post‑result clinical guidance.
4. Do I need a doctor’s referral?
While a referral is recommended, you can book the test directly. A genetic counsellor will review your history and provide pre-test guidance.
