Test Overview & Methodology
The Gold Standard for Transplant Compatibility: This test uses Long-Range PCR and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to achieve four-digit, high-resolution HLA typing, essential for precise donor-recipient matching in solid organ and bone marrow transplantation.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS High Resolution) | Closest Alternative (SSP/Low Resolution) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Four-Digit Allele Level Resolution | Two-Digit Antigen Level Resolution |
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), Full Gene PCR | Sequence-Specific Primer (SSP) PCR |
| Speed & Clinical Impact | Mitigates rejection, identifies novel alleles, comprehensive loci coverage in 10-12 days | Higher risk of cryptic mismatch, limited loci, longer resolution cascade |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Note from Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403): High-resolution HLA typing via NGS is a cornerstone of graft survival strategy. It identifies allele-level mismatches undetectable by older methods, enabling precise risk stratification for transplant recipients and donors. Correlation with clinical history and donor-specific antibody testing is essential for final risk assessment. Interpretation must be performed by a specialist in transplant immunogenetics.
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue or adjust any prescribed immunosuppressant or other medication without a direct consultation with your transplant physician.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Incomplete documentation – test cannot proceed without mandatory prescription, photographs, and signed Consent Form 33. Specimens that are frozen or hemolyzed will be rejected.
- Red Flags: If you experience signs of acute rejection (fever, pain over graft site, sudden reduction in urine output for kidney recipients), seek emergency transplant care immediately – do not wait for results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why is high-resolution NGS HLA typing superior to older methods for transplant success?
High-resolution NGS typing identifies exact four-digit allele sequences across all major HLA loci, eliminating cryptic mismatches that cause graft-versus-host disease and rejection unseen by low-resolution tests.
2. What are the mandatory legal and medical requirements before giving my sample in the UAE?
You must provide a DHA-compliant doctor's prescription, a Consent Form for HLA Typing for Solid Organ Transplant (Form 33), and one stamped photograph for both donor and recipient to ensure chain-of-custody compliance.
3. How should my sample be collected and transported to maintain the 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity guarantee?
Our ISO-certified VIP phlebotomists collect 4 mL of whole blood in a refrigerated Lavender Top tube, strictly never frozen, and transport it directly to our central lab within a validated, temperature-monitored cold-chain system.
