Test Overview & Methodology
This Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test screens the entire TUBGCP6 gene for pathogenic variants linked to autosomal recessive microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, and intellectual disability.
| Feature | Our TUBGCP6 NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Single‑Gene / Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | NGS – complete gene sequencing & deletion/duplication analysis | Sanger sequencing or targeted microarray; may miss non‑coding variants |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 Weeks | 4 – 8 Weeks |
| Sample Types | Whole Blood, Extracted DNA, Dried Blood Spot (FTA Card) | Usually whole blood only |
| Coverage | All exons, flanking intronic regions, known deep intronic variants | May be limited to known point mutations |
| UAE DHA/MOHAP Compliance | Full – Compliant with Federal Decree‑Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (PDPL) and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 for Health ICT. DHA licensed facility. | Varies; often lacks explicit pediatric consent mechanisms |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Clinical correlation with the patient’s phenotype and family history is paramount; a negative TUBGCP6 result does not exclude other genetic diagnoses. I strongly advise pre‑test and post‑test genetic counselling to ensure appropriate interpretation and family planning.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Important Medication Advisory
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Acute febrile illness or unstable clinical condition at time of sampling
- Lack of informed consent; for minors, parental consent is mandatory per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability
- Asymptomatic individuals seeking testing without prior genetic counselling
- Emergency Red Flag: If the patient has rapidly progressive neurological deterioration, seizures, or loss of vision, seek immediate emergency care – do not wait for genetic test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How long does the TUBGCP6 genetic test take in the UAE, and what does the cost include?
Results are delivered in 3 to 4 weeks, covering full gene sequencing, variant interpretation, and a bilingual clinical report.
2. Can this test be done on newborns, and are there special requirements?
Yes, a simple dried blood spot on an FTA card or a tiny heel‑prick sample suffices; we strictly follow UAE neonatal consent regulations.
3. What happens if the TUBGCP6 result is negative?
A negative report means no clinically significant variant was identified, but further testing by whole exome sequencing may be recommended.
