This advanced genetic test for Incontinentia Pigmenti type 2 is performed under DHA regulatory oversight using ISO 15189 accredited laboratory workflows, delivering definitive molecular diagnosis for at-risk individuals and families.
Test Overview & Methodology
The IKBKG NGS test identifies pathogenic variants associated with Incontinentia Pigmenti type 2, a rare Xโlinked dominant disorder characterized by skin lesions, dental anomalies, ocular abnormalities, and central nervous system involvement. Comprehensive sequencing of all exons and splice junctions ensures high-confidence detection of point mutations, small insertions/deletions, and copy-number variants, enabling definitive molecular diagnosis and personalized multisystem management.
| Parameter | Our Test โ IKBKG NGS (Premium) | Closest Alternative โ Single-Gene Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Method | Next Generation Sequencing โ full gene coverage, detects point mutations, small indels, and copy number variants | Targeted Sanger sequencing โ limited to preselected exons, may miss large deletions/duplications |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | >99.9% for known pathogenic IKBKG variants | ~85โ90% (deletion/duplication not assessed) |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks (including clinical interpretation) | 6โ8 Weeks |
| Clinical Report | DHAโstandard, with genetic counselling support and actionable recommendations | Basic variant listing without full integrative guidance |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โFrom a clinical genetics perspective, a confirmed IKBKG mutation provides families with a clear diagnostic anchor, allowing for proactive surveillance of retinal vascular changes, dental interventions, and neurologic monitoring. I always emphasize that genetic testing is most valuable when paired with multidisciplinary clinical evaluation.โ

Advisory โ Medication and Treatment Continuity
Clinical notice: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or alter treatment based on genetic test results without explicit consultation with your treating physician. Genetic findings are one component of a comprehensive clinical picture.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active systemic infection, severe bleeding diathesis, or inability to provide informed consent (legal guardian required for minors).
- Exclusion: Home collection must be deferred if you have a fever >38ยฐC or acute dermatitis at the venipuncture site.
- ER Red Flag: Intense pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus) at the collection site โ seek immediate medical attention.
- ER Red Flag: Neurological symptoms such as sudden severe headache, visual loss, or seizures during the testing period require emergency evaluation unrelated to the test.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What condition does the IKBKG genetic test diagnose?
Answer: This test detects mutations in the IKBKG gene responsible for Incontinentia Pigmenti type 2, a rare X-linked dominant disorder affecting skin, hair, eyes, teeth, and the central nervous system. Positive results confirm the molecular diagnosis and guide lifelong multidisciplinary management.
2. What sample type is required and how is collection arranged?
Answer: A peripheral whole blood sample (2โ5 mL in EDTA) is needed. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service performs temperature-controlled cold-chain home collection daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. Alternatively, extracted DNA or a dried blood spot on an FTA card is acceptable.
3. What is the turnaround time and total cost?
Answer: Results are reported within 3โ4 weeks from sample receipt. The all-inclusive cost is 2,800 AED, covering pre-test genetic counseling, sample logistics, NGS sequencing, clinical interpretation, and a post-test telephonic consultation with our genetics team.
