Test Overview & Methodology
The Autism Gene Panel uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect clinically significant variants in over 200 high-evidence genes associated with autism spectrum disorder. This comprehensive analysis aids early intervention, family planning, and personalized management. The test is validated for all ages and sample types including peripheral whole blood, amniotic fluid, and chorionic villi.
| Feature | Our Autism Gene Panel | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity with clinical-grade NGS | Standard chromosomal microarray; may miss single-gene variants |
| Methodology | Targeted NGS covering 200+ high-evidence genes | Fragile X DNA analysis or CMA alone |
| Turnaround Time | 4–6 weeks (comprehensive bioinformatics analysis) | 8–12 weeks (multi-step testing) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed consultant in medical genetics, I emphasize that the autism gene panel provides molecular insight but must always be integrated with developmental and behavioral assessments. No genetic result alone confirms or rules out autism; it empowers personalized clinical decisions and family counseling.” — Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory: Medication and Treatment Continuity
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. This test is not a substitute for ongoing medical management. Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance regarding therapy adjustments.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Acute febrile illness or systemic infection within 48 hours of specimen collection.
- Inability to provide informed consent; guardian consent required for minors as per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- For amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling: known placenta previa, uncontrolled bleeding diathesis, or multiple gestation with uncertain chorionicity.
- Emergency Red Flags: Post-procedure severe abdominal pain, heavy vaginal bleeding, ruptured membranes, or fever >38°C – seek immediate emergency care.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the Autism Gene Panel detect, and who should consider it?
This NGS-based panel identifies pathogenic variants in over 200 high-confidence autism-risk genes, aiding early diagnosis for individuals with suggestive developmental signs or a strong family history. It is recommended for children and adults with features of autism spectrum disorder, as well as for family planning evaluations when a genetic cause is suspected.
2. Why is the price 3000 AED and what does it include?
The 3000 AED fee covers hospital-grade home collection (for blood), ISO-certified cold-chain logistics, complete NGS sequencing, multidisciplinary bioinformatics analysis, and a post-test telephonic consultation with a DHA-licensed genetics expert. For prenatal samples, the hospital extraction procedure cost is separate and determined by the facility.
3. How is the sample collected, and is a prescription required?
A physician’s prescription is required for blood collection, except when ordered for specific screening or pregnancy-related indications. For prenatal samples, an obstetrician-specialist referral is mandatory. Blood samples are collected via VIP mobile phlebotomy at your location, while amniotic fluid or chorionic villi are obtained only in a hospital setting. All collections adhere to strict safety and consent protocols under DHA regulations.
