🔬 Overview

The POT1 Gene Susceptibility Test uses Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect germline mutations in the POT1 gene, which underpins hereditary cutaneous malignant melanoma type 10. This UAE‑based genetic analysis empowers individuals with a family history of melanoma to make proactive, personalised surveillance decisions, fully compliant with DHA 2026 standards.

🩺 Physician Insight & Safety Protocol

“As a DHA‑licensed oncologist, I always emphasise that a positive POT1 result does not guarantee malignancy; it signals a need for intensified dermatological surveillance and family risk assessment. Your genetic profile must be interpreted alongside clinical and family history. We provide compassionate, evidence‑based post‑test guidance to help you navigate the next steps with confidence.”

— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License No. 61713011

⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medications without consulting your treating physician. This genetic test is a risk‑assessment tool and does not replace regular clinical or dermatological examinations.

🚨 Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags

  • Exclusion Criteria: Patients unable to provide informed consent; minors without legally authorised guardian consent as per UAE Child Rights Law (CDS Law 2026); individuals with recent allogeneic bone marrow transplant (may interfere with germline DNA source).
  • Emergency Red Flags (seek immediate care): Rapidly changing mole, new atypical lesion, or melanoma symptoms (itching, bleeding) while awaiting results. Genetic counselling does not replace urgent dermatological evaluation.

❓ Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

🌍 What is the POT1 gene and why should I be tested?

Snippet: The POT1 gene test identifies inherited mutations that dramatically raise lifetime melanoma risk, guiding personalised, life‑saving screening plans for you and your relatives.

Testing is recommended if you have a strong family history of melanoma, multiple primary melanomas, or early‑onset disease. Your oncology team will use the result to tailor dermatological check‑ups and consider preventive measures.

ما هو جين POT1 ولماذا يجب أن أخضع للفحص؟

الخلاصة: يحدد اختبار جين POT1 الطفرات الموروثة التي تزيد بشكل كبير من خطر الورم الميلانيني، مما يوجّه خطط الفحص المنقذة للحياة.

🩸 What does the test involve and how is the sample collected?

Snippet: A simple home blood draw or a few dried blood spots on an FTA card are used to extract DNA for next‑generation sequencing in our DHA‑licensed facility.

Our phlebotomist arrives at your home (8 AM–11 PM) in a temperature‑controlled vehicle. For infants or difficult veins, a single drop of blood on an FTA card is sufficient. No special fasting is required; you must complete a genetic counselling session to document your family pedigree.

ماذا يتضمن الاختبار وكيف يتم جمع العينة؟

الخلاصة: يتم سحب عينة دم بسيطة في المنزل أو استخدام بضع قطرات على بطاقة FTA لاستخراج الحمض النووي لتسلسل الجيل التالي.

📅 How long do results take and will a doctor interpret them for me?

Snippet: Results are reported within 3–4 weeks, and every report is explained by a DHA‑licensed oncologist during a dedicated telephonic post‑ consultation.

You will receive a secure digital report listing the variant classification (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, uncertain significance). The included tele‑guidance session covers risk interpretation, recommended screening intervals, and implications for family members.

كم من الوقت تستغرق النتائج وهل سيقوم طبيب بتفسيرها لي؟

الخلاصة: تصدر النتائج خلال 3–4 أسابيع، ويتم شرح كل تقرير من قبل أخصائي أورام مرخص من هيئة الصحة بدبي.
