Clinical & Technical Overview
This test uses Next-Generation Sequencing to analyze the entire IKBKG (NEMO) gene for pathogenic variants associated with primary immunodeficiency, ectodermal dysplasia, and susceptibility to atypical mycobacterial infections. It is the definitive genetic diagnostic tool for EDA-ID and related combined immunodeficiencies, delivering results in 3–4 weeks.
| Feature | Our Test (IKBKG NGS) | Closest Alternative (Targeted PCR) |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical Sensitivity | >99.9% (full gene coverage, CNV detection) | ~85% (only known common mutations) |
| Method | NGS with deletion/duplication analysis | Sanger sequencing of selected exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 2–3 Weeks (limited scope) |
| Regulatory Compliance | ISO 9001:2015, DHA/MOHAP, UAE PDPL | Variable |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a physician specializing in primary immunodeficiency, I want every family to know that a genetic result is not a verdict but a map. This test illuminates the molecular cause of your child’s immune challenges, yet every finding must be correlated with clinical history and immunological workup. We are here to guide you through each step with compassion.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License No: 61713011, Consultant Clinical Geneticist & Immunologist.
⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication or prophylactic antibiotics without consulting your doctor. Genetic testing may inform long-term management but does not replace acute clinical decisions.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Individuals without clinical indication for IKBKG testing (e.g., asymptomatic adults with no family history).
- Minors unable to provide assent as per CDS Law 2026; requires legal guardian consent with genetic counselling documentation.
- Patients currently hospitalized for acute life-threatening infection – test should be deferred until stabilization.
ER Red Flags – Seek immediate medical attention if:
- High fever, chills, or signs of disseminated mycobacterial infection.
- Severe respiratory distress or altered consciousness.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q1: What does the IKBKG gene test diagnose?
This NGS test identifies pathogenic variants in the IKBKG (NEMO) gene that cause primary immunodeficiency, anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and severe susceptibility to atypical mycobacterial infections.
يُشخّص هذا الفحص الطفرات المسببة لنقص المناعة الأولي وخلل التنسج الأديمي الظاهر اللاعرقية والقابلية الشديدة للإصابة بعدوى المتفطرات غير النمطية.
Q2: Who should consider this test?
Patients with recurrent severe mycobacterial infections, ectodermal anomalies, and family history suggesting X-linked recessive immune deficiency are ideal candidates for IKBKG gene sequencing.
المرشحون المثاليون هم المصابون بعدوى متفطرات متكررة وشذوذات الأديم الظاهري وتاريخ عائلي يوحي بنقص مناعي مرتبط بالصبغي X.
Q3: How is the test performed and what are the requirements?
A simple blood draw, one-drop FTA card, or previously extracted DNA is collected; mandatory pre- genetic counselling ensures pedigree documentation and informed consent.
يتم جمع عينة دم بسيطة أو بقعة دم على بطاقة FTA، مع استشارة وراثية إلزامية لتوثيق شجرة العائلة والموافقة المستنيرة.
