Test Overview & Methodology
The CARD14 NGS test analyses the entire coding region of the CARD14 gene for pathogenic variants linked to Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and autoinflammatory keratinization disorders. It delivers clinically actionable results within 3–4 weeks using Next Generation Sequencing on Illumina platforms, aligning with UAE precision dermatology standards.
| Feature | Our Advanced NGS Panel | Closest Alternative (Standard Genetic / Clinical Diagnosis) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% Diagnostic Sensitivity (full gene coverage) | 70–80% accuracy with targeted Sanger or biopsy only |
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina NovaSeq, validated per ISO 15189) | Single-gene Sanger sequencing / histopathology |
| Turnaround | 3 – 4 Weeks (expedited reporting available) | 4 – 6 Weeks (often longer for referral labs) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant medical geneticist, I understand the complexity that accompanies a suspected pityriasis rubra pilaris diagnosis. This comprehensive NGS test identifies the underlying genetic variant, yet clinical correlation with dermatological findings and family history remains paramount. Please do not adjust any treatment regimen until you have reviewed these results with your specialist.”
Medication & Treatment Advisory
Do Not Alter Prescribed Therapy
Do not discontinue prescribed medication, immunosuppressive creams, or systemic retinoids without consulting your doctor. Genetic test results guide long-term management; sudden changes can trigger disease flares.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Urgent Red Flags
- Exclusion: Individuals unable to provide informed consent; pregnant or nursing women may proceed only after genetic counselling clearance.
- Exclusion: Active severe skin infection requiring systemic antibiotics – postpone blood draw until resolution.
- Emergency Signs: Rapidly worsening erythroderma, high fever, or signs of sepsis – seek immediate emergency care, do not wait for test results.
- Notice: Incomplete or lipemic samples will trigger recollection at no additional cost.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CARD14 gene test for Pityriasis rubra pilaris?
Snippet: The CARD14 NGS test identifies inherited mutations causing Pityriasis rubra pilaris with 99.9% diagnostic accuracy.
This non-invasive genetic analysis examines the entire CARD14 gene for gain-of-function variants linked to autosomal dominant PRP and related autoinflammatory skin conditions. Results help confirm the diagnosis and guide targeted therapy decisions.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
Snippet: A home blood draw provides accurate CARD14 Genetic Testing, delivering results within 3-4 weeks.
A certified DHA nurse visits your location (8 AM – 11 PM) using sterile, cold-chain protocols. Options include whole blood, extracted DNA, or a single blood drop on an FTA card. The sample is processed immediately at our CAP-accredited genomics lab.
3. Is the test covered by insurance and what is the cost?
Snippet: The test costs 2,800 AED, with direct insurance billing verification available via WhatsApp at +971545488731.
We accept most major UAE insurance plans and facilitate direct billing. Send your insurance card to our WhatsApp support to verify coverage upfront. Self-pay options include secure online payment before sample collection.
