Test Overview & Methodology
The CYP4F22 gene NGS test detects pathogenic variants responsible for autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis type 3, offering a definitive molecular diagnosis for affected individuals and their families. This comprehensive analysis covers all coding regions and splice sites with 99.9% sensitivity.
| Feature | Our NGS Test (Full Gene) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for all coding regions & splice sites | Limited to pre‑selected exons; may miss 20% of variants |
| Method | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) with orthogonal confirmation | Conventional Sanger sequencing |
| Speed | 3‑4 Weeks | 6‑8 Weeks |
| Price | 2800 AED | ~2500 AED (partial coverage) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Every lamellar ichthyosis case carries unique genetic nuances; a positive CYP4F22 result must be correlated with phenotypic findings and family history to guide personalised management. I emphasize that patients should not make treatment changes solely based on this report without in‑person clinical evaluation. Your health journey deserves a multidisciplinary approach that includes dermatology, genetics, and supportive care.”

Advisory: Medication and Treatment Caution
Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication or alter therapy without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Exclusion: Infants under 3 months (alternative buccal swab recommended); active systemic infection or fever >38.5°C requires postponement.
- Exclusion: Known severe coagulopathy or platelet disorder (e.g., haemophilia A/B) without prior haematologist clearance for venipuncture.
- ER Red Flags: If you experience acute skin blistering, widespread erosions, or signs of secondary infection (pus, fever) after sample collection, seek immediate emergency care.
- Emergency Contact: For medical emergencies, dial 998 (UAE Ambulance) or visit the nearest hospital emergency department.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the CYP4F22 gene test detect?
The CYP4F22 NGS test identifies pathogenic DNA variants in the entire coding region of the CYP4F22 gene responsible for lamellar ichthyosis type 3, confirming a molecular diagnosis in as little as 3 weeks. This test helps healthcare providers guide targeted management and family counselling.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
A pre‑genetic counselling session is required to draw a family pedigree and collect clinical history; no fasting is necessary, but you must inform the phlebotomist of any anticoagulant use. The blood collection itself takes under 10 minutes.
3. Is home collection available and safe for children?
Yes, our VIP paediatric phlebotomy service includes ISO‑certified cold‑chain transport from your home (8 AM–11 PM) ensuring sample integrity and minimal distress for your child. The same service is available for adults at no extra charge.
