Test Overview & Methodology
The DPYS Gene Dihydropyrimidinuria Genetic Test detects pathogenic variants in the DPYS gene responsible for dihydropyrimidinuria, a rare autosomal recessive disorder of pyrimidine catabolism. This test empowers timely diagnosis, family screening, and personalized management for patients suspected of metabolic disturbances.

Important Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test does not replace a full clinical evaluation. Any changes to therapy should be made only under the supervision of your healthcare provider.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Minors without legal guardian consent (as per UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 and PDPL provisions); patients unable to provide a valid sample; individuals lacking clinical or family-history-based suspicion of dihydropyrimidinuria.
- Emergency Red Flags: Sudden onset of seizures, unexplained lethargy, vomiting, or respiratory distress in an infantโseek immediate emergency care; do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the DPYS Gene Dihydropyrimidinuria test detect?
This advanced DNA test analyzes the DPYS gene for mutations causing dihydropyrimidinuria, a rare metabolic disorder affecting pyrimidine breakdown. It identifies single nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, and copy number changes that impair dihydropyrimidinase enzyme function. Results guide diagnosis, carrier status, and therapeutic strategies.
2. How is the sample collected and what can be used?
A blood sample, extracted DNA, or a single drop on an FTA card is acceptable for testing. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy team will handle venipuncture or capillary blood spotting, ensuring cold-chain integrity until the sample reaches our ISO-certified laboratory. Home collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. How long do results take and how will I receive them?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks, reported securely through our encrypted patient portal. You will also receive a telephonic interpretation session with a clinical genetic counselor to clarify the implications and next steps.
