Overview
The SLC20A2 NGS test detects pathogenic variants in the gene linked to idiopathic basal ganglia calcification type 1 (Fahr’s disease), a progressive neurological condition marked by abnormal calcium deposits in the brain. This focused sequencing provides the highest resolution for clinical diagnosis, carrier screening, and family risk assessment, delivered with UAE‑compliant genetic privacy safeguards.
| Feature | Our NGS Test (SLC20A2 Full Gene) | Closest Alternative (Whole Exome Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Target Coverage | 100% of coding exons & flanking intronic regions | Broad coverage; may miss SLC20A2 if not prioritised |
| Analytical Sensitivity | >99.9% for SNVs, indels, CNVs | Variable, typically 95–98% |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
| Clinical Report | Focused interpretation with integrated genetic counselling | Requires additional bioinformatics filtering |
| Price in UAE | 2,800 AED | 4,000–5,500 AED |
Regulatory Compliance: This service strictly adheres to Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87) on genetic data protection, the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), and the Community Development System (CDS) Law 2026 for minors. All laboratory processes are certified under ISO 9001:2015 (Cert: INT/EGQ/2509DA/3139).
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“While genetic testing can pinpoint mutations in SLC20A2, clinical correlation with neuroimaging and symptomatology is essential. I encourage patients to share a detailed family history; early diagnosis supports personalised management and timely genetic counselling. Always interpret results in partnership with your treating physician.” — Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License 61713011
⚠ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This genetic test does not replace ongoing neurological treatment.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not for acute medical emergencies; this test requires 3–4 weeks for results.
- Patients under 18 years must have parental/guardian consent per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- If you experience sudden severe headaches, confusion, seizures, or involuntary movements, seek immediate emergency medical attention.
- Do not delay essential neurological care while awaiting genetic results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What does the SLC20A2 genetic test diagnose?
This identifies pathogenic variants in the SLC20A2 gene causing idiopathic basal ganglia calcification type 1, also known as Fahr’s disease.
يكشف هذا الاختبار الطفرات المسببة للمرض في جين SLC20A2 المرتبطة بالتكلس القاعدي العقدي مجهول السبب من النوع الأول (داء فار).
How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
We accept blood, extracted DNA, or a single drop on an FTA card; results are delivered in 3-4 weeks via a secure online portal.
تُقبل عينات الدم الكامل، أو الحمض النووي المستخلص، أو قطرة دم واحدة على بطاقة FTA، وتُصدر النتائج خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع عبر بوابة إلكترونية آمنة.
Is home sample collection available in the UAE?
Yes, our ISO‑certified phlebotomists provide hospital‑grade home collection across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and all Emirates from 8 AM to 11 PM.
نعم، يوفر فريق سحب الدم المتنقل والمعتمد جمع العينات من المنزل في جميع أنحاء الإمارات من الساعة 8 صباحاً حتى 11 مساءً.
