Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced genetic test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the complete coding region and splice sites of the RPS26 gene. It provides a definitive molecular diagnosis for Diamond-Blackfan Anemia Type 10, a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by pure red cell aplasia. The test is performed on peripheral blood and detects single nucleotide variants, indels, and large deletions with high sensitivity.
| Parameter | Our Test (NGS) | Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Full gene (all exons & splice sites) | Limited to targeted regions or known mutations |
| Sensitivity | >99% for single nucleotide variants & indels | ~90% per region; cannot detect large deletions well |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | 4โ8 Weeks |
| Reporting | Clinically actionable report with ACMG variant classification | Mutation present/absent, minimal interpretive support |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a DHA-licensed Consultant Medical Genetics, I have seen how a precise genetic diagnosis can transform management for families facing Diamond-Blackfan anemia. The RPS26 NGS test offers high diagnostic accuracy, but clinical correlation with hematological parameters and family history is essential. Please use results as part of a comprehensive genetic counseling process." โ Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (DHA Registration ID: 9294403)
Advisory: Pre- and Post-Test Counseling
Do not alter or discontinue any prescribed medications or treatments without prior consultation with your specialist. This genetic test provides diagnostic information but does not directly guide immediate therapy changes. A DHA-licensed genetic counselor will discuss the implications of your results during a scheduled follow-up call.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks) may introduce donor DNA and invalidate germline results.
- Exclusion: Acute illness, fever, or active infection may lead to insufficient sample quality or false-negative findings.
- Exclusion: Inability to provide informed consent; for minors, guardian consent is mandatory per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- ER Red Flags: If the patient exhibits severe pallor, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, or signs of acute heart failure, seek emergency medical care immediately before proceeding with genetic testing.
