Comprehensive Overview
The Prolidase Deficiency (PEPD) NGS test is a next‑generation sequencing assay that screens the entire coding region of the *PEPD* gene to identify pathogenic variants causing prolidase deficiency—a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by dysmorphic features, intellectual disability, skin ulcers, and recurrent infections. This test delivers a definitive molecular diagnosis with 99.9% analytical sensitivity (ISO 9001:2015 laboratory), enabling early intervention and genetic counselling. يتيح هذا الفحص تشخيصًا جينيًا دقيقًا ويسهم في توجيه العلاج المبكر.
| Feature | Our Test (PEPD NGS) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene sequencing with CNV detection; >99.9% sensitivity | Single‑variant PCR (limited to known mutations) |
| Methodology | NGS (Illumina platform) + Sanger confirmation | Sanger sequencing of selected exons |
| Turnaround | 3–4 weeks with comprehensive report | 4–8 weeks, often without deletion/duplication analysis |
Pre‑Test Requirement: Genetic counselling session and a pedigree chart of affected family members are mandatory prior to sampling.
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
Dr. Prabhakar Reddy (DHA License 61713011) notes: “Prolidase deficiency is a challenging diagnosis because of its wide phenotypic spectrum. NGS testing of the *PEPD* gene provides a conclusive molecular diagnosis, but interpreting variants requires correlation with clinical symptoms and biochemical markers. Please share your complete medical history with the ordering clinician to ensure results are integrated into a holistic care plan.”
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active febrile illness, recent blood transfusion (within 4 weeks), inability to provide informed consent, patient uncooperative for venipuncture.
- ER Red Flags: Severe allergic reaction to antiseptic or adhesive, uncontrolled bleeding, syncope or shock after sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What is prolidase deficiency and why is a genetic test important?
This DNA identifies disease‑causing changes in the PEPD gene, confirming prolidase deficiency with near‑absolute diagnostic certainty for early treatment and family planning. يُؤكد هذا التحليل الجيني وجود طفرات مرضية في جين PEPD، مما يسمح بتشخيص مؤكد لمرض نقص إنزيم البروليداز وتوجيه الرعاية.
How is the sample collected and what are the acceptable sample types?
Painless in‑home phlebotomy collects a small blood sample, or you may provide a dried blood spot (FTA card); extracted DNA is also accepted for overall convenience. يتم جمع العينة عبر سحب دم بسيط في المنزل أو باستخدام بطاقة FTA، كما يُقبل الحمض النووي المستخلص.
How quickly will I receive my results and will a doctor explain them to me?
Results are delivered within 3–4 weeks and include a telephonic consultation with a clinical geneticist who will interpret findings and answer your personal health questions. تصل النتائج في غضون 3 إلى 4 أسابيع، وتُستكمل بجلسة تفسير هاتفية مجانية من أخصائي الوراثة.
