What Is This Test?
The TGM1 gene sequencing test detects mutations in the TGM1 gene, the primary cause of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis type 1 (lamellar ichthyosis). This test analyzes all coding regions via Next‑Generation Sequencing, providing a definitive molecular diagnosis for affected individuals and carrier status for family members.
يكشف فحص تسلسل جين TGM1 عن الطفرات المسببة لمرض السماك الخلقي المتنحي الصبغي الجسدي من النوع الأول (السماك الصفائحي). يتم تحليل جميع المناطق المشفرة باستخدام تقنية التسلسل الجيني من الجيل التالي، مما يُعطي تشخيصاً جزيئياً قاطعاً للمصابين وحالة الحامل للمرض لدى الأقارب.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a specialist in genetic dermatology, I understand the emotional burden that a suspected ichthyosis diagnosis brings to families. This genetic test provides clarity, but results must be correlated with clinical findings and family history; a negative result does not completely rule out other forms of ichthyosis. Please consult with your dermatologist or genetic counselor to interpret the test and plan management.”

⚠ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic results must not be used to self‑modify treatment.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Exclusion: Not intended for prenatal diagnosis without formal genetic counselling; samples from minors require parental/legal guardian consent per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- Emergency Red Flags: If the patient develops severe skin blistering, signs of infection (fever, pus), or dehydration, seek immediate emergency medical care. Results alone do not constitute emergency medical advice.
Frequently Asked Questions (Patient Guidance)
Q: What is the TGM1 gene test used for?
This test identifies mutations in the TGM1 gene causing lamellar ichthyosis, aiding diagnosis, carrier detection, and family planning. It is recommended for individuals with persistent scaling skin, collodion baby history, or a family history of congenital ichthyosis.
يُستخدم هذا الاختبار لتحديد الطفرات في جين TGM1 المسببة للسماك الصفائحي، مما يساعد في التشخيص وكشف الحاملين والتخطيط العائلي.
Q: How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple blood draw or cheek swab is collected at home by our mobile phlebotomist, with results ready in 3–4 weeks. Our cold‑chain logistics ensure sample integrity from collection to ISO‑accredited laboratory processing.
يتم جمع عينة دم بسيطة أو مسحة من الخد في المنزل بواسطة أخصائي سحب متنقل، وتكون النتائج جاهزة خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع.
