Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“This genetic test can accurately detect PHKB pathogenic variants. However, results must be interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and biochemical markers. Do not adjust prescribed dietary therapy or medication based on genetic results alone without consulting a specialist.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA License No. 9294403
⚠️ Critical Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed treatments such as cornstarch or glucose supplements without medical guidance. Results must be integrated with your full clinical picture.
