Test Overview & Methodology
The STAT1 Gene NGS Test sequences the entire coding region and splice sites of the STAT1 gene to identify pathogenic mutations associated with Mendelian susceptibility to atypical mycobacterial infections (MSMD). This comprehensive analysis uses next-generation sequencing on the Illumina platform at 200x depth, enabling detection of single nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, and copy number variations with high confidence.
| Parameter | Our Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene NGS with CNV analysis (99.9% sensitivity) | Targeted hot‑spot panel (limited mutations) |
| Method | Next‑Generation Sequencing (Illumina platform, 200x depth) | Sanger sequencing of single exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant in medical genetics, I emphasize that the STAT1 NGS result must always be interpreted alongside the full clinical and family history. This test clarifies the immune defect, but treatment decisions require collaborative care with an immunologist. Please never adjust preventive antibiotics or immune modulators based solely on this report.”

⛔ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed prophylactic anti‑mycobacterials or immune modulators without consulting your treating physician. Abrupt cessation may trigger severe infection.
🚫 Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Uncorrected coagulopathy or active severe infection at the time of home collection.
- Inability to provide valid consent (legal guardian must sign for minors per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability).
- Patient under 5 kg body weight – capillary collection only, consult our phlebotomist.
- Emergency Red Flags: High fever with chills, new skin abscesses, or lymphadenitis post‑test – proceed to ER immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the STAT1 gene test detect?
The test identifies disease‑causing mutations across the entire STAT1 gene that cause Mendelian susceptibility to atypical mycobacterial infections, enabling precise diagnosis and guided familial screening.
2. Is home collection safe for genetic testing?
Yes, our UAE‑DHA licensed mobile phlebotomists follow ISO 9001:2015 cold‑chain protocols, using barcoded DNA‑stabilization tubes to preserve sample integrity from doorstep to the sequencing lab.
3. How do I interpret the results for my child under UAE law?
A certified genetic counsellor will explain the clinical significance in a tele‑consultation, and for minors, parental consent is required per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
4. What treatment options are informed by this test?
Results guide prophylactic antibiotic regimens, interferon‑gamma therapy, and surveillance for family members. All treatment decisions must be made by a specialist immunologist.
