SLC5A2 Gene Renal Glucosuria Genetic Test in UAE | 2,800 AED
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
This NGS‑based SLC5A2 gene test provides definitive diagnosis of familial renal glucosuria with 99.9% analytical sensitivity. It is performed under ISO 15189:2012 accredited protocols, includes VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature-Controlled Cold-Chain Home Collection (Available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM), and comes with mandatory genetic counselling and a post‑result telehealth consultation. Direct insurance billing verification is available through WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
Test Overview & Methodology
The SLC5A2 gene test uses next‑generation sequencing (NGS) to identify pathogenic variants in the renal sodium‑glucose cotransporter gene, confirming autosomal recessive familial renal glucosuria. It differentiates this benign condition from diabetes mellitus and other tubulopathies, providing clarity for patient management and family planning.
| Feature | Our NGS Panel (UAE) | Closest Alternative (Conventional) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene sequencing + CNV analysis | Limited Sanger sequencing of hot‑spot exons |
| Method | Illumina NGS (verified by LC‑MS/MS validation) | Single‑gene Sanger |
| Turnaround | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Geneticist, I view the SLC5A2 gene test as essential for distinguishing benign renal glucosuria from diabetic causes. However, it must be interpreted in the context of clinical history, blood glucose, and renal function. Genetic testing alone cannot replace comprehensive metabolic assessment.”

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Always inform your physician about any medications or supplements before testing.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Patients with acute febrile illness, active haemodynamic instability, or inability to provide informed consent (guardian required for minors).
- ER Red Flags: Massive polyuria leading to dehydration, profound electrolyte imbalances (hypokalemia, hyponatremia), or sudden altered mental status require immediate hospital evaluation — do not rely solely on this genetic report.
- All genetic counselling sessions are mandatory per DHA/MOHAP regulations; results will be released only after post‑test counselling.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the SLC5A2 gene renal glucosuria test detect?
The SLC5A2 gene renal glucosuria test is a comprehensive NGS assay that identifies pathogenic mutations in the SLC5A2 gene responsible for familial renal glucosuria, a hereditary condition causing glucose in urine despite normal blood sugar levels.
2. How is the sample collected and is home service available?
A sample is collected via peripheral blood draw. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service provides home collection by a DHA‑licensed phlebotomist, with temperature‑controlled cold‑chain transport. Available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. When will I receive my results and what support is provided?
Your personalised genetic report, reviewed by our Consultant Medical Geneticist, is delivered within 3 to 4 weeks along with a complimentary telehealth session to interpret the findings and guide next steps.
