Test Overview & Methodology
The PRSS1 Gene NGS Test sequences the entire coding region to identify pathogenic variants causing hereditary pancreatitis, enabling early dietary and surveillance interventions. A clinical history review and genetic counselling session with pedigree charting of affected family members are mandatory. Patients should avoid alcohol and high-fat meals 24 hours before sample collection. Medications should not be stopped without a physicianโs consent.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasise that genetic test results must be interpreted within the context of personal and family history. This NGS panel empowers patients with actionable knowledge, but it must be complemented by specialist counselling to guide clinical decisions.โ โ Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
