Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced NGS panel interrogates the entire coding region of the C4orf26 gene to diagnose Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 2A4, a hereditary enamel defect. Our ISO 9001:2015–certified, DHA-licensed laboratory delivers a complete molecular report within 3–4 weeks.
| Feature | Our NGS Test | Conventional Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Gene Coverage | Full gene (all exons + splice sites) | Limited to selected exons |
| Detection Power | SNVs, indels & copy number variants (CNVs) | Only small mutations; CNVs often missed |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
| Accreditation | ISO 9001:2015, DHA-Licensed | Variable; often non‑ISO |
| Sample Types | Whole blood, extracted DNA, dried blood spot (FTA card) | Usually blood or buccal swab |

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the C4orf26 gene amelogenesis imperfecta type 2A4 NGS test used for?
This NGS test detects disease‑causing mutations in the C4orf26 gene to confirm hereditary Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 2A4 diagnosis. It analyses the complete gene sequence, including copy number variants, and is ordered by dermatologists, pediatric dentists, or clinical geneticists when a patient presents with thin, pitted, or discoloured enamel without other known syndromes. A positive result facilitates personalised treatment planning and genetic counselling for family members.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple blood draw, cheek swab, or dried blood spot (FTA card) is taken by a certified phlebotomist, and results are delivered in 3–4 weeks. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy and temperature‑controlled cold‑chain home collection service operates daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. No special fasting is required, but a pre‑test genetic counselling session is mandatory to draw a family pedigree and obtain informed consent.
3. Is this test covered by UAE health insurance?
Many UAE insurers cover genetic testing when medically indicated; our team verifies direct billing eligibility via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. We work with leading networks including Daman, Thiqa, and Neuron, and provide a detailed pre‑authorisation support letter citing ICD‑10 code K00.5 and Z31.430. Co‑payments and plan limits vary, so please contact us prior to sample collection to avoid out‑of‑pocket surprises.
