Test Overview & Methodology

The CD2AP gene next‑generation sequencing (NGS) test identifies pathogenic variants in the CD2AP gene associated with autosomal dominant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis type 3 (FSGS3). Using a comprehensive coverage panel, it precisely detects single nucleotide variants, small indels, and copy number changes, enabling early risk assessment, family screening, and personalized nephrology management.

Feature Our Test (UAE Power Panel) Standard DNA Testing
Precision >99.9% sensitivity (NGS full‑gene coverage) ~95% (targeted Sanger sequencing)
Method Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) on high‑fidelity platforms Sanger sequencing for selected exons only
Turnaround Time 3–4 weeks 4–6 weeks
Sample Types Whole blood, extracted DNA, or FTA card dried blood spot Whole blood only
Cost (AED) 2800 2500

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“As a DHA‑licensed consultant in medical genetics, I emphasize that genomic sequencing results must be interpreted within the full clinical context of the patient’s history, family pedigree, and renal function markers. This test provides powerful predictive information, but it does not replace ongoing nephrology care or the necessity of pre‑ and post‑test genetic counselling.”

— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403

Advisory: Medication & Treatment Continuity

Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic information may influence therapeutic decisions, but abrupt changes pose serious health risks. Always share your test report with your managing nephrologist before making any adjustments.

Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

  • Active severe infection, recent major surgery, or acute kidney injury — reschedule test
  • Unwillingness to undergo pre‑test genetic counselling
  • Minors (<18 years) must have legal guardian consent as per UAE federal regulations
  • Seek immediate emergency care if you experience: sudden vision loss, severe headache, chest pain, or rapid deterioration of kidney function

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. Why should I choose NGS testing for CD2AP instead of a single‑gene panel?

NGS comprehensively analyzes the entire CD2AP gene, detecting even rare deep‑intronic variants that targeted panels miss, delivering a 99.9% diagnostic yield for FSGS type 3.

2. How do I prepare for the test, and is a genetic counselling session mandatory?

You must complete a pre‑test genetic counselling session to map your family pedigree and understand possible outcomes; no fasting required, simply provide a blood or FTA card sample.

3. What happens after I receive my results, and how long does it take?

Results are ready within 3–4 weeks and reviewed by a specialist; post‑test clinical guidance ensures you understand the implications for your kidney health and family screening.

4. Can this test detect all genetic causes of FSGS or only CD2AP variants?

This test specifically targets the CD2AP gene associated with FSGS type 3. Other genetic forms of FSGS (e.g., ACTN4, TRPC6, WT1) require separate or panel‑based testing. Your genetic counsellor will help determine the most appropriate testing strategy based on your clinical presentation and family history.

5. Is home sample collection available for this genetic test?

Yes. For standard whole blood, extracted DNA, or FTA card samples, our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service operates daily from 8 AM to 11 PM with temperature‑controlled cold‑chain transport, ensuring sample integrity from your home directly to our ISO‑certified laboratory.
