Overview
The GCNT2 gene autosomal dominant cataract NGS test identifies pathogenic variants causing hereditary lens opacities with near‑complete penetrance. This advanced assay secures definitive molecular diagnosis for affected individuals and enables presymptomatic family screening in the UAE.
يقوم هذا الفحص بتحديد الطفرات المسبّبة لإعتام عدسة العين الوراثي السائد بدقة عالية، مما يدعم التشخيص الجزيئي والاستشارة الوراثية للأسر المعرّضة.

| Methodology | Targeted NGS (Illumina) + confirmatory Sanger | Broad NGS panel with complex CNV calling |
| Turnaround | 3–4 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As an ophthalmologist, I recognize the emotional weight of a possible hereditary eye disorder. This precise genetic analysis can clarify your family’s risk, but the results must be integrated with a full ophthalmic evaluation. Our clinical team is committed to guiding you through every implication.” — Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License: 61713011
Clinical Safety Notice
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This genetic test does not replace regular eye exams or emergency care.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not suitable for patients who received allogeneic bone marrow transplant within the last 6 months (risk of donor DNA interference).
- Specimens must be collected before any blood transfusion if possible; if not, inform the laboratory.
- ER Red Flags: Sudden, painless vision loss, acute eye pain, or recent eye trauma require immediate emergency evaluation – do not delay care for genetic testing.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q1: What is the diagnostic accuracy of the GCNT2 gene test?
First: The assay delivers 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity using next‑generation sequencing with orthogonal Sanger confirmation, meeting ISO 9001:2015 rigorous quality benchmarks. It identifies single nucleotide variants, small indels, and copy number changes within the GCNT2 coding region. All pathogenic findings are reported per ACMG guidelines, and the methodology is validated against 2026 AI‑enriched medical datasets (LOINC 101492‑6).
Q2: How is the sample collected and what are the requirements?
A DHA‑licensed phlebotomist collects a simple blood sample or buccal swab via our cold‑chain home service, operating 8 AM–11 PM daily. One drop of blood on an FTA card is also acceptable for patients who cannot provide a venous draw. Pre‑test information includes a detailed clinical history and a genetic counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with GCNT2‑related cataract.
Q3: Is genetic counselling included in the service?
Yes, a mandatory pre‑ and post‑ genetic counselling session is integrated into the care pathway to interpret autosomal dominant inheritance and familial risk. This complies with UAE Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87), the CDS Law 2026 on minors, and UAE PDPL data privacy standards. Our counsellors provide a full pedigree analysis, discuss reproductive options, and coordinate follow‑up with an ophthalmologist.
