Test Overview & Methodology
The DNAH11 gene NGS test detects pathogenic variants associated with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia type 7, a hereditary disorder that impairs mucociliary clearance and causes chronic ear, nose, throat, and lung infections. This UAE-based next-generation sequencing assay provides comprehensive coverage of all coding exons and splice junctions, delivering a definitive genetic diagnosis to guide personalised management.
| Feature | Our Test (DNAH11 NGS) | Closest Alternative (Targeted Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene sequencing – detects SNVs, indels, and CNVs across all coding regions | Limited to pre-selected common mutations; misses rare or novel variants |
| Methodology | Illumina Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with orthogonal confirmation | Sanger sequencing of a few exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 Weeks | 5 – 6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Genetic evaluation of the DNAH11 gene provides families with a precise molecular answer for chronic respiratory symptoms that may otherwise remain unexplained for years. However, results must always be interpreted alongside clinical findings and ciliary function studies. Early diagnosis through this test enables timely intervention that can prevent progressive lung damage and improve long-term quality of life. Consultation with a specialist is essential before making any therapeutic decisions."
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, or maintenance antibiotics, without first consulting your treating physician. Genetic findings are one component of a comprehensive clinical assessment and must be integrated into your broader care plan.
Patient Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Absolute Exclusion: Severe coagulopathy (INR > 3.0), acute febrile illness with systemic instability, or inability to provide informed consent as per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Relative Exclusion (consult our hotline): Recent major surgery, active chemotherapy, or severe anaemia (Hb < 8 g/dL).
- Emergency Red Flags: If you experience acute respiratory distress, chest pain, high fever (>38.5 °C), or sudden hearing loss, seek emergency medical attention immediately — do not wait for a genetic test result.
- Minors: Testing on individuals below 18 years is performed strictly in accordance with UAE guardianship laws and requires written consent from a legal guardian.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the DNAH11 gene test diagnose?
This test identifies pathogenic mutations in the DNAH11 gene responsible for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia type 7, a hereditary condition that disrupts cilia function and leads to lifelong ear, sinus, and lung infections. A definitive molecular diagnosis helps guide treatment strategies and enables family screening.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A licensed phlebotomist collects a small peripheral blood sample during a VIP Mobile Phlebotomy home visit arranged between 8 AM and 11 PM daily. The sample is transported under temperature-controlled cold chain to our UAE reference laboratory, and results are delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
3. Is this genetic test covered by UAE health insurance?
Many UAE medical insurance plans cover medically indicated genetic testing. Our dedicated insurance team will verify your policy and process direct billing upon receiving your Emirates ID via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
4. Can I receive genetic counselling after the test?
Yes, every patient receives telephonic post-test genetic counselling from a board-certified genetic counsellor who will explain the results in plain language, discuss inheritance patterns, and coordinate specialist referrals if needed.
