Test Overview & Methodology
This next-generation sequencing test analyses the entire coding region of the POR gene for pathogenic variants causing cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency โ a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is a definitive molecular diagnosis tool for individuals with ambiguous genitalia, cortisol deficiency, or skeletal malformations.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity for SNVs/indels | ~95% sensitivity, limited to targeted regions |
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Sanger Sequencing (single amplicon) |
| Speed | 3โ4 Weeks (full gene) | 4โ6 Weeks (if ordered separately) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs your DHA-licensed Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that a genetic finding is one piece of your health puzzle. Please do not interpret results in isolation; always correlate clinically with an endocrinologist. This test opens a door to precise management, not a final verdict.โ

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication (e.g., corticosteroids) without consulting your doctor. Abrupt withdrawal can trigger life-threatening adrenal crisis.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Do Not Proceed with Home Collection If:
- You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding (unless clinically advised)
- You received a blood transfusion within the last 4 weeks
- Active severe infection or febrile illness (postpone until recovery)
- Known history of anaphylaxis to phlebotomy materials
Seek Emergency Care Immediately If You Experience:
- Signs of adrenal crisis: intractable vomiting, severe dehydration, hypotension, confusion
- Unexplained rapid weight loss and marked hyperpigmentation
- Electrolyte imbalance: severe hyponatremia or hyperkalemia
- Acute abdominal pain with fever
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the POR gene NGS test detect?
This advanced DNA test identifies pathogenic variants in the POR gene causing cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency, a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
Preparation requires a prior genetic counselling session to document family history and a simple blood or DNA sample collection. Fasting is not required but it is recommended to have a light meal.
3. Is home collection available in the UAE?
Yes, we offer ISO-certified cold-chain home phlebotomy across all emirates from 8 AM to 11 PM daily. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy service ensures safe and temperature-controlled sample transport.
