Test Overview
This next-generation sequencing (NGS) test comprehensively analyses the IL12A gene to identify pathogenic variants responsible for interleukin 12A deficiency—a rare, primary immunodeficiency that predisposes to severe mycobacterial and fungal infections. يكشف اختبار التسلسل الجيني لجين IL12A عن الطفرات المسببة لنقص إنترلوكين 12A، وهو اضطراب مناعي وراثي نادر.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“Genetic testing for IL12A deficiency requires careful interpretation within the full clinical context. A positive result confirms susceptibility, but absence of a known mutation does not exclude disease—a comprehensive immunological assessment remains essential. Patient safety depends on coordinated care among dermatology, immunology, and genetics teams.” – Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011.
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic test information must not be used to alter immunosuppressive or antimicrobial therapy without specialist guidance.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Patients with active, uncontrolled bleeding disorders (contraindication for phlebotomy).
- Inability to provide informed consent or genetic counselling consent as per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024.
- For minors: CDS Law 2026 mandates joint consent from guardian and treating paediatrician.
- ER Red Flags: If you develop high fever, new skin ulcers, or signs of severe infection before or after testing, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest DHA‑licensed emergency department.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: What is the IL12A genetic test and why is it needed?
The IL12A genetic test identifies DNA mutations causing interleukin-12 deficiency, a primary immunodeficiency with severe infection risk. It is recommended for patients with recurrent atypical mycobacterial infections, disseminated BCGitis after vaccination, or chronic mucocutaneous fungal infections where primary immune deficiency is suspected.
س: ما هو اختبار جين IL12A الجيني ولماذا يُطلب؟
يكشف اختبار جين IL12A عن التغيرات الوراثية المسببة لنقص إنترلوكين 12، وهو نقص مناعي أولي يزيد خطر العدوى الشديدة. يُستخدم لتأكيد التشخيص لدى المصابين بعدوى فطرية أو بكتيرية متكررة.
Q: How is the test performed and what sample is required?
A small blood sample, extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card is collected by a DHA‑certified phlebotomist through our cold‑chain home collection service, ensuring sample stability and compliance with ISO 9001:2015 logistics protocols.
س: كيف يُجرى الاختبار وما هي العينة المطلوبة؟
يتم جمع عينة دم صغيرة، أو حمض نووي مستخلص، أو قطرة دم على بطاقة FTA بواسطة فني معتمد من هيئة الصحة بدبي مع سلسلة تبريد منزلية لضمان سلامة العينة.
Q: When will I receive my results and how are they interpreted?
Results are available in 3 to 4 weeks and include a detailed clinical report with ACMG classification; a post‑ telephonic genetic counselling session is automatically scheduled to explain your variant’s significance and next steps.
س: متى أحصل على النتائج وكيف يتم تفسيرها؟
تُصدر النتائج خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع مع تقرير طبي مفصل وجلسة استشارة وراثية هاتفية بعد الاختبار لشرح النتائج والإجراءات الموصى بها.
