Test Overview & Methodology
The TP63 gene test uses Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect pathogenic variants causing Ankyloblepharon‑Ectodermal Defects‑Cleft Lip/Palate (AEC) syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant disorder. This comprehensive assay covers all coding exons and splice junctions, delivering 99.9% analytical sensitivity in just 3–4 weeks.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity | ~95% (single‑gene Sanger) |
| Methodology | NGS – full gene sequencing | Sanger sequencing (exon‑by‑exon) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
| Coverage | Complete coding region + splice sites | Selective exons only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Understanding the emotional journey that accompanies a genetic diagnosis, we prioritize clear communication and compassionate support. This test provides a precise molecular answer, yet it must always be interpreted within the full clinical and familial context. Please do not alter any ongoing therapies without a formal review with your genetic counsellor. My team and I are committed to guiding you every step of the way.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA ID: 9294403)
Advisory: Medication Continuation Warning
⚠️ CLINICAL ADVISORY: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or supportive therapy without first consulting your supervising physician. Abrupt cessation may cause serious health consequences.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Recent allogeneic bone marrow transplant (within 3 months) – donor DNA may confound results.
- Exclusion: Active whole blood transfusion within the last week – may interfere with DNA purity.
- Emergency Red Flag: If the patient develops acute respiratory distress, severe feeding difficulty, or new‑onset seizures, seek immediate emergency care.
- Pre‑test Requirement: A genetic counselling session and a detailed three‑generation pedigree chart must be completed before sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the TP63 Genetic Test detect?
Direct Answer: This NGS test identifies pathogenic mutations in TP63 associated with ankyloblepharon‑ectodermal defects‑cleft lip/palate syndrome, covering all exons and splice junctions with 99.9% sensitivity.
2. How is the sample collected and what preparation is required?
Direct Answer: A whole blood sample, extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot on an FTA card can be used. No special preparation is needed, but a mandatory genetic counselling session must occur before collection. Home collection via VIP Mobile Phlebotomy is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. How long until I receive results, and what does it cost?
Direct Answer: Results are ready in 3–4 weeks. The comprehensive NGS test costs 2,800 AED, inclusive of genetic counselling and optional home collection.
4. Will my test results remain private?
Direct Answer: Yes. Your genetic data is encrypted, stored in‑country, and protected under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (PDPL). It will never be shared without your explicit consent.
