Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Genotyping by sequencing and primary analysis enables high‑resolution interrogation of genetic variants across a custom panel of 96 samples, empowering oncologists, rheumatologists and clinical researchers to refine precision medicine decisions. The test combines next‑generation sequencing with robust bioinformatic variant calling, delivering clinically actionable reports within 8 weeks.
Core Metrics
- Price: 60,000 AED
- Turnaround Time: 8 Weeks from sample receipt
- Methodology: Next‑Generation Sequencing (WES/panel) with primary variant calling
- Test Code: GSP-96-PA
Test Overview & Methodology
This test employs next‑generation sequencing to detect single‑nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and copy‑number changes across a customized gene panel. The primary analysis pipeline highlights clinically relevant genetic alterations, which your specialist can interpret in the context of family history and physical examination.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS + Primary Analysis) | Standard Genotyping (Microarray) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99.9% for targeted coding regions and splice sites | Limited to common SNPs; misses rare variants |
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (WES/panel) with primary variant calling | Microarray hybridization; no sequencing depth |
| Speed | 8 weeks from sample receipt to validated report | 4–6 weeks, but limited interpretive resolution |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Genetic testing is a powerful tool that must be integrated with a thorough clinical evaluation and family history. I strongly advise against self‑interpretation; each variant’s significance is nuanced and should be discussed with your specialist. Our team follows DHA‑mandated reporting standards to ensure every result is both accurate and clinically meaningful.”

Advisory & Clinical Safety
- Exclusion Reason: Samples with DNA concentration <10 ng/µL, hemolyzed blood, clotted specimens, or those not transported under verified cold‑chain conditions.
- ER Red Flag: If a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant associated with a high‑risk cancer syndrome (e.g., BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome) is identified, immediate referral to clinical genetics for urgent counselling and management is recommended.
- Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without first consulting your treating physician.
Specimen & Collection Requirements
Sample Type: Peripheral Whole Blood (EDTA or ACD tubes).
Collection Method: VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature-Controlled Cold-Chain Home Collection (Available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM). Hospital extraction is not required for this procedure.
Minimum Volume: 5 mL whole blood per sample.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does “genotyping by sequencing and primary analysis – 96 samples” involve?
This uses next‑generation sequencing to detect single‑nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and copy‑number changes across your customised gene panel, delivering a primary analysis report that highlights clinically relevant genetic alterations for your specialist to interpret.
2. How soon will I receive my genotyping results after the blood draw?
After your home collection, the standard turnaround time is 8 weeks from the day our accredited laboratory receives your sample to the issuance of the validated, double‑reviewed report, ensuring accuracy without compromise.
3. Is this advanced 96‑sample genotyping panel covered by UAE health insurance?
Yes, most comprehensive UAE plans cover diagnostic genetic testing when ordered by a specialist; we offer instant direct billing verification via WhatsApp – just send your Emirates ID and insurance card to +971 54 548 8731 and we will confirm coverage within minutes.
4. Can the test be performed on stored tissue blocks or archival slides?
No. This test is designed exclusively for fresh peripheral whole blood samples. For archival tissue specimens (FFPE blocks or slides), a separate molecular pathology workflow is required; please contact our team for alternative testing options.
