Test Overview & Methodology
The PARN gene NGS test identifies pathogenic variants responsible for Dyskeratosis Congenita autosomal recessive type 6, a rare inherited disorder affecting skin, nails, and bone marrow. This comprehensive analysis delivers precise mutation detection across all exons and splice sites, guiding clinical management, surveillance for complications, and family planning decisions.
| Feature | Our Test (PARN NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | NextโGeneration Sequencing (NGS) | Sanger Sequencing |
| Coverage | Full PARN gene (all exons & splice sites) | Limited to known hotspots |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | 5โ6 Weeks |
| Cost | AED 2,800 | AED 2,500 (less comprehensive) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a Consultant in Medical Genetics, I emphasize that comprehensive NGS-based PARN gene sequencing is critical for accurate diagnosis of Dyskeratosis Congenita type 6. However, variants of uncertain significance (VUS) require careful segregation analysis and clinical correlation. A negative result does not entirely exclude the diagnosis if clinical suspicion remains high. All findings must be interpreted within the full context of the patient's hematologic and dermatologic presentation."
โ Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403Clinical Advisory: Do Not Alter Prescribed Therapy
Do not discontinue or modify any prescribed medication, including androgens, hematopoietic growth factors, or immunosuppressive therapy, based solely on genetic test results. Any changes to your treatment regimen must be discussed with your supervising hematologist or genetic specialist.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not a general wellness screen โ requires a clinical indication and a specialist referral.
- Mandatory preโtest genetic counselling session and pedigree charting.
- Unsuitable for asymptomatic individuals without family history or professional guidance.
- ER Alert: Seek immediate medical help if you experience sudden severe bleeding, spontaneous bruising, extreme fatigue, recurrent infections, or pallor (potential signs of bone marrow failure).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is Dyskeratosis Congenita and how does the PARN gene test help?
Dyskeratosis Congenita is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by skin abnormalities, nail dystrophy, and a high risk of developing aplastic anemia, cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis. The PARN gene test identifies mutations causing autosomal recessive type 6, enabling early diagnosis, targeted surveillance, and informed reproductive counseling.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple peripheral whole blood draw or a saliva sample (Oragene DNA kit) is collected by our DHA-licensed medical professionals. Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from the time the sample is received at our CAP-accredited laboratory.
3. Is home collection available and what is the cost?
Yes, VIP mobile phlebotomy for home collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM across all Emirates. The all-inclusive cost for the PARN Gene NGS test is AED 2,800. Direct insurance billing verification can be processed via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 prior to the appointment.
