Overview: The Clinical Role of SLURP1 Gene Testing
This is a targeted genetic test that analyses the SLURP1 gene for pathogenic variants associated with Mal de Meleda (keratosis palmoplantaris transgrediens), a rare autosomal recessive palmoplantar keratoderma. The test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to deliver high-resolution mutation detection, guiding accurate diagnosis, genetic counselling, and family risk assessment.
هذا الفحص الجيني المستهدف يحلل جين SLURP1 لتحديد الطفرات المسببة لمرض مال دي ميليدا، وهو اعتلال جلدي وراثي نادر يصيب راحة اليد والأخمص. يعتمد الفحص على تقنية التسلسل الجيني الشامل لتحقيق أعلى دقة تشخيصية.

| Cost in UAE | 2800 AED | Often 3500+ AED without genetic counselling |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive SLURP1 result confirms Mal de Meleda, but clinical correlation remains essential – skin findings evolve over time. This test empowers families with definitive knowledge, yet it must always be interpreted alongside a detailed dermatological and genetic evaluation.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011, Consultant Clinical Geneticist
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic testing does not replace current dermatological treatment.
Safety Checklist – Exclusion Criteria
- Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant within the last 6 months (chimerism may obscure germline DNA).
- Active infection at the blood draw site.
- Known severe allergy to chlorhexidine or iodine-based antiseptics.
ER Red Flags
- Excessive bleeding, rapid swelling, or signs of infection at the puncture site.
- New onset of widespread skin blistering or systemic illness unrelated to the underlying condition.
Pre-test requirement: A detailed clinical history and a genetic counselling session to draw a family pedigree must be completed prior to sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the SLURP1 gene Mal de Meleda test?
SLURP1 gene Genetic Test performed on a blood sample or extracted DNA, using next-generation sequencing to identify disease-causing variants in the SLURP1 gene. This helps dermatologists and geneticists confirm the condition, guide treatment, and inform family planning.
تحليل جين SLURP1 بتقنية NGS يكشف الطفرات المسببة لمرض مال دي ميليدا بدقة عالية.
2. How do I prepare for the test?
No fasting required; simply schedule a home collection visit and provide your clinical history beforehand. A genetic counsellor will contact you to record your medical and family history. Avoid any blood-thinning medications unless approved by your physician. Sample collection uses a standard venipuncture or a fingertip blood spot on an FTA card.
