Why This Test Is the Gold Standard
Extended carrier screening analyses over 500 genes associated with severe recessive and X‑linked conditions, providing a comprehensive risk assessment for family planning. Traditional single‑gene or small panel tests miss >90% of actionable carrier states identified by our method.
| Feature | Our Extended Panel | Common Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) + MLPA | Limited PCR/Genotyping (5‑20 variants) |
| Genes Covered | >500 genes (ACMG/ACOG‑recommended) | 1‑3 genes |
| Turnaround | 4 weeks (full analysis with counselling) | 1‑2 weeks (limited reporting) |
| ICD‑10/LOINC Mapped | Z14.8, Z31.5, LOINC 51960‑6 | Often unreported |
| UAE Regulatory Status | DHA‑Licensed Facility (No. 9834453); ISO 9001:2015 | Variable |
Physician Insight & Patient Safety Protocol
“As a DHA‑licensed clinical geneticist, I emphasize that a positive carrier result is not a diagnosis of disease in you or your unborn child—it is a powerful piece of information that, combined with your partner’s result and genetic counselling, empowers you to make informed reproductive choices. Every result must be interpreted within your personal and family context; we are here to guide you through that process without judgment.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011, Medical Director
⛔ Important Medication Safety Notice
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or preconception supplement without explicit instruction from your treating physician. Carrier status does not alter your current health; abrupt medication changes may pose serious risks. Always discuss any concerns arising from your results with the ordering clinician.
Test Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Helpline

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is carrier screening mandatory before marriage in the UAE?
Direct Answer: Carrier screening is not mandatory for marriage under UAE federal law, but many emirates strongly recommend it as part of premarital health programs to identify genetic risks early.
The UAE Premarital Screening Programme primarily focuses on infectious diseases and haemoglobinopathies; however, extended carrier panels like ours are increasingly requested by couples to cover a broader range of inherited conditions. Our report is issued with full compliance to Federal Law No. 41 of 2024 on genetic testing, ensuring your data privacy and right to genetic counselling.
٢. كم من الوقت يستغرق ظهور نتيجة فحص الكشف عن حامل الصفات الوراثية؟
الإجابة المباشرة: تستغرق نتيجة الفحص الموسّع 4 أسابيع من تاريخ وصول العينة إلى المختبر، بسبب التحليل العميق لأكثر من 500 جين والتفسير السريري المفصّل.
تتضمّن فترة الانتظار مراحل فنية دقيقة (استخراج الحمض النووي، التسلسل الجيني، التفسير المعلوماتي) وجلسة مراجعة مع طبيب وراثة. نحرص على توفير تقرير موثوق بدلاً من نتيجة سريعة غير كاملة. خدمة الاستشارة الهاتفية بعد ظهور النتيجة تقلّص القلق وتوفّر إجابات فورية.
3. Will my health insurance cover this 7500 AED?
Direct Answer: Many UAE insurers cover extended carrier screening when clinically indicated and pre‑authorised, but coverage depends on your policy’s maternity/genetic testing rider.
Our team handles direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. We will review your policy, obtain any required pre‑approval, and provide you with an estimated out‑of‑pocket cost before sample collection. For policies with limited coverage, we offer flexible payment plans to ensure access to this essential health intelligence.
