Test Overview & Methodology
The CLCF1 Genetic Test identifies pathogenic variants in the CLCF1 gene responsible for Cold-Induced Sweating Syndrome Type 2, a rare autosomal recessive disorder. This test supports early diagnosis, personalised clinical management, and accurate genetic counselling for affected families. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) targets the full coding region and intron-exon boundaries of the CLCF1 gene with analytical sensitivity at 99.9%.

| Gene Coverage | Full CLCF1 gene (exons, intron-exon boundaries, deep intronic regions) | All ~20,000 genes; may miss deep intronic variants or require reflex testing |
| Analytical Sensitivity | ≥99.9% for targeted region | Variable; often needs Sanger validation |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–12 Weeks |
| Price | 2800 AED | 5,000–8,000 AED |
| Incidental Findings | None (gene-specific) | Possible, requiring complex counselling |

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
?? Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (DHA Registration ID: 9294403, Consultant Medical Genetics):
“Cold-Induced Sweating Syndrome Type 2 is a rare condition that can be overlooked due to its variable presentation. The CLCF1 gene test provides a definitive molecular diagnosis, but it should always be integrated with a detailed family history and clinical assessment. I recommend that all families receive pre- and post-test genetic counselling to fully understand the implications for recurrence risk and management. This test is a powerful adjunct, not a substitute for thoughtful clinical evaluation.”
Advisory: Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test does not replace ongoing medical therapy.
Safety: Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Individuals without clinical suspicion of Cold-Induced Sweating Syndrome Type 2 or without a documented family history should not undergo this targeted test without prior genetic counselling. Testing of minors must comply with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability – only a legal guardian can provide informed consent.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you or your child experience severe sweating episodes accompanied by hypothermia (core temperature <35 °C), breathing difficulties, or altered consciousness, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CLCF1 gene test used for?
The CLCF1 Genetic Test identifies pathogenic mutations in the CLCF1 gene causing Cold-Induced Sweating Syndrome Type 2, a rare disorder characterised by cold-induced sweating, craniofacial abnormalities, and skeletal issues. Detection of biallelic variants confirms the diagnosis, enables reproductive planning, and guides symptom-specific monitoring such as orthopaedic and respiratory follow-up.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A blood sample is collected at your home by a certified phlebotomist via VIP Mobile Phlebotomy, and results are delivered in 3 to 4 weeks. The sample is transported under strict cold-chain conditions to our ISO-certified laboratory. You can choose between whole blood or extracted DNA depending on your convenience and clinical scenario.
3. Is this test covered by insurance in the UAE?
Insurance coverage for genetic testing varies; we provide direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 to check your specific policy. Many UAE insurers require pre-authorisation and a referral from a paediatrician or clinical geneticist. Our team assists with the required documentation to maximise your reimbursement chance.
