Test Overview & Methodology
The KRT74 gene test identifies pathogenic variants causing autosomal recessive hypotrichosis type 3, a genetic hair disorder characterized by sparse, fragile hair. This NGS panel offers definitive molecular diagnosis, guiding dermatologic and genetic counselling decisions.
| Feature | Our Test (DNA Labs UAE) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene sequencing (NGS) with CNV detection | Sanger sequencing of select exons only |
| Methodology | NGS + orthogonal validation (LC-MS/MS) | PCR-based fragment analysis |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 6 โ 8 Weeks |
| Clinical Support | Pre- and post-test genetic counselling included | Often absent |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a medical geneticist, I appreciate the uncertainty that hereditary hair disorders bring. This NGS test provides a clear molecular diagnosis of hypotrichosis type 3, but must always be interpreted alongside a thorough dermatological exam and detailed family history. Our team is dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care for every patient."

Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or modify your treatment plan without first consulting your doctor. Genetic test results do not replace ongoing dermatological management.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
Not eligible for at-home specimen collection if: you have an active skin infection at the phlebotomy site, are under 18 without a legal guardian present (in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability), or cannot provide informed consent due to cognitive impairment.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: signs of severe allergic reaction (swelling, difficulty breathing) after specimen collection, fainting that persists, or uncontrolled bleeding at the puncture site.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the KRT74 gene test?
The KRT74 gene test uses next-generation sequencing to detect mutations responsible for autosomal recessive hypotrichosis type 3, enabling precise diagnosis and informed family planning.
2. How is the sample collected?
A certified phlebotomist collects a blood sample or a single drop on an FTA card during a home visit, with cold-chain transport maintaining specimen integrity throughout.
3. When are results available and how do I interpret them?
Results are available in 3โ4 weeks and include a comprehensive variant report. A post-teleconsultation with a clinical geneticist is provided to explain findings, implications for family members, and management options.
