This advanced genetic test analyzes the CFL1 gene for pathogenic variants linked to corticobasal degeneration using next-generation sequencing technology. All services are DHA-licensed and adhere to UAE data protection regulations under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021. The all-inclusive price is 2,800 AED with home collection and professional genetic counselling follow-up.
Test Overview & Methodology
This comprehensive DNA test screens the entire coding region of the CFL1 gene for pathogenic variants associated with corticobasal degeneration (CBD), a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform delivers high-resolution detection of single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and copy number alterations with clinical-grade accuracy. A pre-test genetic counselling session is mandatory to document family history and construct a three-generation pedigree chart prior to sample collection.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that a CFL1 genetic test result must be interpreted within a comprehensive clinical context. This test identifies pathogenic variants that confer susceptibility to corticobasal degeneration, but a definitive diagnosis requires integration of neurological examination, neuroimaging, and clinical history. All results should be discussed with your referring physician during a formal post-test genetic counselling session.”

⚠️ Important Advisory
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. This genetic test provides risk information and is not a substitute for ongoing neurological care or emergency medical attention.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Patients with severe cognitive impairment who cannot provide informed consent must have a legal guardian provide consent as per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Minors require guardian consent and presence during sample collection in accordance with UAE federal regulations.
- If you experience acute neurological symptoms such as sudden confusion, loss of consciousness, or stroke-like episodes, seek emergency medical attention immediately; do not delay care for this test.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the CFL1 genetic test detect?
The CFL1 genetic test detects pathogenic variants in the CFL1 gene associated with corticobasal degeneration, a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and cognition. The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze the entire coding region of the gene with high diagnostic accuracy.
2. How long does it take to receive results and what is the cost?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt at the laboratory. The all-inclusive cost is 2,800 AED, which covers the genetic analysis, mandatory pre-test genetic counselling, and VIP mobile phlebotomy home collection.
3. Is this test covered by insurance in the UAE?
Many UAE insurance plans provide coverage for clinically indicated genetic testing. Our team verifies your eligibility and handles direct billing directly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Pre-authorisation is typically required for genetic tests.
