Test Overview & Methodology
The DLL4 gene Adams-Oliver syndrome type 6 NGS test identifies pathogenic variants in the DLL4 gene responsible for aplasia cutis congenita and limb defects. This NGS‑based assay delivers full gene sequencing with high sensitivity, supporting precise diagnosis, familial risk assessment, and early intervention planning.
| Feature | Our NGS Test | Alternative (Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for SNVs, indels | ~95% for targeted regions |
| Method | NGS (full gene coverage) | Sanger sequencing (single gene) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
From Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403): “I understand that embarking on genetic testing for a suspected congenital syndrome can be emotionally taxing for families. This test is designed to provide clarity that empowers informed decisions, but it is essential that all results are discussed with a qualified genetic counselor or your pediatrician. Clinical correlation remains the cornerstone of accurate diagnosis and management.”
Important Medication Advisory
⚠️ Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or alter your treatment plan based solely on this genetic test result. Always consult your treating physician first.
Patient Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- This test is not intended for prenatal diagnosis unless specifically ordered by a high‑risk obstetrics specialist.
- Unsuitable if the patient is unable to provide a blood sample or extracted DNA (consult our lab for buccal swab alternatives).
- Genetic results must be interpreted in the context of clinical phenotype and family history; a negative result does not exclude all genetic etiologies.
- ER Red Flags: If the child exhibits acute scalp infection, seizures, or sudden limb ischemia, seek immediate medical attention — do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the cost and expected turnaround time for this DLL4 test?
The test costs 2800 AED and results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks using advanced NGS technology. Payment can be made directly or through insurance; we verify coverage before sample processing.
2. Which medical specialists typically order this genetic test?
Pediatricians, neonatologists, and clinical geneticists commonly refer for this when a child presents with scalp defects or limb anomalies suggestive of Adams-Oliver syndrome. A referral letter with clinical history is required.
3. How is the sample collected and can it be done at home?
A simple blood sample, extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card can be collected via our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service. The service is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM across the UAE.
