Overview
The DLX5 Gene NGS Test identifies mutations associated with Split-Hand/Foot Malformation Type 1 (SHFM1) and sensorineural hearing loss, enabling early intervention. This test leverages Next Generation Sequencing for comprehensive analysis of the entire coding region, ensuring clinical-grade diagnostic precision.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011) shares: “As a clinician, I understand the anxiety surrounding a child’s congenital hand or foot anomaly and hearing loss. This genetic test clarifies the diagnosis and guides precise management. Please remember, the result is a piece of the clinical puzzle—correlation with physical findings is essential.”
⚠ Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic test results must not alter treatment unless interpreted by a specialist.
Safety Exclusions & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Active severe bleeding disorder (hemophilia, platelet disorder) not under control; inability to safely collect venous blood; extreme agitation precluding safe phlebotomy at home.
- Emergency Red Flags: If the patient develops sudden worsening of respiratory distress, cyanosis, or uncontrollable bleeding from a hand/foot surgical site, seek immediate emergency care at the nearest UAE hospital (call 998).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What sample types are accepted for the DLX5 NGS test, and how is the collection performed in the UAE?
This DNA test accepts whole blood, extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card, all collected via ISO-certified cold-chain home services across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. (العينة المقبولة: دم كامل، حمض نووي مستخلص، أو قطرة دم على بطاقة FTA، ويتم جمعها منزلياً بواسطة تقنيين معتمدين مع سلسلة تبريد مثالية.)
Is a genetic counselling session mandatory before taking the test, and what does it involve?
Yes, a pre-test genetic counselling session is required to draw a detailed pedigree chart of family members affected with SHFM1 and hearing loss, ensuring informed consent as per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024. (نعم، جلسة الاستشارة الوراثية قبل الفحص إلزامية لرسم شجرة العائلة للمصابين، وضمان الموافقة المستنيرة وفق القانون الإماراتي.)
How are the test results delivered, and who interprets them for clinical decisions?
Results are delivered via a secure digital portal with a comprehensive report, and a telephonic post- clinical guidance session with a DHA-licensed genetic counselor is included to explain implications for the child’s care. (تسلم النتائج عبر بوابة رقمية آمنة مع جلسة توجيه سريري هاتفي من مستشار وراثي مرخص لشرح النتائج وآثارها العلاجية.)
