Test Overview & Methodology
This diagnostic assay employs advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to interrogate the entire FANCC gene, detecting point mutations, small insertions, deletions, and splice-site variants causative of Fanconi anemia type C โ a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis ensures high confidence variant calling with >99% diagnostic sensitivity for FANCC-related mutations.

| Methodology | Full gene sequencing โ all exons, intron-exon boundaries, deep intronic regions | Limited mutation panel (selected known variants) |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | 4โ6 Weeks |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | >99% for FANCC mutations | ~70% (ethnicity-dependent) |
| Price | 2,800 AED | 2,500โ3,000 AED |
| Sample Requirements | Whole blood (1โ3 mL), FTA card, or extracted DNA | Whole blood only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โGenetic information provides powerful clinical clarity, yet it must always be contextualized within a patientโs full hematologic and family history. I strongly advise that this test be undertaken alongside pre-test genetic counseling and in coordination with a hematologist. Should you observe unexplained bruising, pallor, or persistent fatigue, please seek urgent medical evaluation.โ

Pre-Test Genetic Counseling & Informed Consent
Important Advisory: Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without explicit instruction from your treating physician. Genetic test results may have implications for family members; discuss carrier status and cascade screening with your genetic counselor prior to testing.
Clinical Exclusions & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Sample collection within two weeks of a blood transfusion may compromise DNA quality. Active systemic infection or severe hemolysis necessitates rescheduling.
- Emergency Red Flags: Seek immediate medical attention for sudden severe bleeding, high fever unresponsive to antipyretics, petechiae, or pronounced pallor โ these may indicate acute bone marrow decompensation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive FANCC gene test indicate?
A positive result confirms the presence of a disease-causing mutation in the FANCC gene, establishing a diagnosis of Fanconi anemia type C or identifying carrier status. This finding must be correlated with complete blood counts, bone marrow examination, and clinical phenotype. Immediate referral to a hematologist for bone marrow surveillance and transplantation planning is recommended.
2. What is the turnaround time for this genetic test in the UAE?
The standard turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt, reflecting comprehensive sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Extended timelines may occur during periods of high laboratory volume or if orthogonal confirmation of ambiguous variants is required.
3. Is the FANCC genetic test covered by health insurance in the UAE?
Many UAE health insurance plans provide coverage for medically indicated genetic testing for Fanconi anemia; our team performs direct verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Pre-authorization may be required, and we facilitate the approval process seamlessly on your behalf.
