Test Overview & Methodology
Our NGS assay performs full-gene sequencing of the LBR locus, covering all coding exons, flanking intronic regions (±10 bp), and enabling copy number variant (CNV) detection. This method far exceeds traditional Sanger sequencing in sensitivity and breadth, delivering definitive molecular diagnosis of Greenberg skeletal dysplasia.
| Feature | Our NGS Test (DHA‑Licensed) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Full‑Gene Next Generation Sequencing | Single‑Exon Sequencing (limited hotspots) |
| Coverage | All coding exons ±10 bp flanking introns; CNV detection | Selected known mutation regions only |
| Analytical Sensitivity | 99.9% | ~95% in targeted sites |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks (often delayed) |
| Accreditation | ISO 9001:2015, DHA Licensed | Variable |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Greenberg skeletal dysplasia is a severe skeletal dysplasia demanding precise molecular confirmation. Our NGS test provides definitive genetic evidence to guide family counseling, reproductive risk assessment, and clinical management. We deliver answers with uncompromised accuracy and compassionate support.”
– Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA 9294403
Medication Advisory
DO NOT discontinue prescribed medication or alter therapy without consulting your doctor. This test is for diagnostic confirmation and should not replace ongoing clinical management.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Individuals without clinical indication or family history of Greenberg dysplasia; minors (under 18) require legal guardian consent in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Exclusion: Patients unwilling to undergo mandatory pre‑test genetic counselling and pedigree chart documentation.
- Red Flag – ER Visit: Sudden worsening of skeletal pain, respiratory distress, or new‑onset seizures in neonates.
- Red Flag – Urgent Care: Severe blistering or skin erosions, signs of hydrops, or pathological fractures.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the LBR gene test tell me about Greenberg skeletal dysplasia?
This test identifies disease‑causing mutations in the entire LBR gene, confirming the diagnosis of Greenberg skeletal dysplasia with 99.9% sensitivity. It provides definitive genetic evidence of the autosomal recessive condition and clarifies carrier status for family planning.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple blood draw, FTA card spot, or extracted DNA sample is collected at home by a certified phlebotomist. Results are available in 3–4 weeks. Our VIP cold‑chain logistics guarantee sample stability from your doorstep to our ISO‑accredited sequencing facility.
3. Is genetic counseling included, and what should I prepare before the test?
Yes, a mandatory pre‑test genetic counseling session will draw your detailed family pedigree chart and explain inheritance risks. Please bring all previous medical reports, ultrasound images, and a list of affected relatives to ensure accurate interpretation.
