Overview of the Test
This next‑generation sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region of the HSPG2 gene to confirm a suspected diagnosis of Dyssegmental Dysplasia, Silverman‑Handmaker Type—a rare autosomal recessive skeletal disorder. (يبحث التحليل عن طفرات في جين HSPG2 المسؤول عن تكون الغضاريف والجلد.) Three highly relevant UAE specialists—Clinical Geneticist, Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon, and Dermatologist—utilize the result to guide precise management and family planning.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA‑licensed physician who has counselled families facing rare skeletal dysplasias, I know this test can feel overwhelming. The molecular confirmation it provides is the cornerstone of personalized care—from neonatal intervention to recurrence risk assessment. Please remember that genetic results are only one piece of the clinical puzzle; we always correlate them with your child’s full medical picture.” — Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or supplements without consulting your treating physician.
🛡️ Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion: Blood transfusion or platelet‑rich plasma therapy within 14 days (may dilute circulating DNA).
- Exclusion: Active systemic infection requiring IV antibiotics (postpone until 48 h after last dose).
- Red Flag – Seek Immediate ER Care if: Sudden respiratory distress, severe spinal curvature progression causing pain, or any sign of cord compression in an infant.
- Red Flag: Unexplained seizures or loss of motor milestones—urgent neurological evaluation required.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the HSPG2 gene test reveal about Silverman-Handmaker syndrome?
The HSPG2 gene encodes perlecan, a protein essential for cartilage and skin basement membrane stability, and identifying pathogenic variants confirms the diagnosis. This test detects mutations that cause the severe, often lethal dyssegmental dysplasia. (يكشف تحليل جين HSPG2 عن طفرات تسبب خلل التنسج القطعي الشديد، مما يؤكد التشخيص ويساعد في التخطيط العائلي.)
2. How is the sample collected for this Genetic Test?
A certified phlebotomist visits your home to draw a small blood sample (or a painless cheek swab) which is immediately placed in a cold chain. You may also provide a DNA FTA card if preferred. (يقوم أخصائي معتمد بسحب عينة دم أو مسحة من الخد في منزلك، مع الحفاظ على سلسلة التبريد.)
3. How long until I receive the result, and is genetic counseling included?
Results are ready within 3–4 weeks, and a complimentary telephonic post‑test counseling session with a genetic expert is covered. You’ll discuss implications, next steps, and family screening options. (تظهر النتائج خلال 3-4 أسابيع، مع جلسة استشارة وراثية هاتفية مجانية لشرح النتائج.)
Pre‑ Preparation & Medication Avoidance
- Prior to sample collection, attend a mandatory genetic counselling session to document a three‑generation pedigree chart highlighting any family history of dyssegmental dysplasia or other skeletal disorders.
- If providing a blood sample, avoid vitamin E supplements, high‑dose biotin (>5 mg/day), and anticoagulant herbs (ginger, ginkgo) for 48 hours to reduce bruising risk.
- No need to fast; fasting does not influence DNA quality.
- For infants, ensure you have a detailed clinical history and any previous imaging reports available for the counselling call.
