Test Overview & Methodology
This powerful Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines the entire coding region of the XDH gene to identify pathogenic variants linked to hereditary xanthinuria type I. It replaces uncertain biochemical profiling with a definitive genetic diagnosis for individuals presenting with low serum uric acid, xanthine kidney stones, or a positive family history.
| Feature | Our XDH NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Urine Purine Analysis) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Direct DNA variant detection; 99.9% sensitivity | Indirect metabolite measurement; limited by diet & renal function |
| Method | NGS (Full Gene Sequencing) | HPLC / LC‑MS/MS of urine purines |
| Turnaround | 3 – 4 Weeks | 1 – 2 Weeks (but often requires repeat testing) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed Consultant Medical Geneticist, I want to reassure you that this genetic test is a powerful complement to your physician’s clinical evaluation. A positive result can confirm the cause of recurrent stones and guide a low-purine diet, while a negative result still warrants a thorough metabolic workup – every patient’s story must be heard in full context.”

Advisory Notice
Clinical Safety Reminder
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic findings must always be interpreted alongside your medication history and current clinical status.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Sample Ineligibility: Severely hemolyzed blood, insufficient DNA yield, or FTA cards with visible contamination.
- Known Interference: Recent whole blood transfusion (< 2 weeks) may mask the patient’s true genotype; communicate this to the lab.
- Emergency Warning: If you experience sudden severe flank pain, blood in urine, or inability to urinate, stop this process and go to an ER immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the XDH gene test detect?
Snippet: This test identifies DNA mutations in the XDH gene that cause hereditary xanthinuria type I, a condition preventing the body from breaking down purines and leading to kidney stones.
It sequences all coding regions and splice junctions of the XDH gene with > 99% analytical sensitivity, so even rare variants are captured, giving you a definitive yes/no answer about the genetic cause of your symptoms.
2. How is the sample collected for this test?
Snippet: A simple blood draw, a drop of blood on a special FTA card, or previously extracted DNA is all that’s needed for accurate analysis.
Our DHA-compliant home phlebotomy team arrives with refrigerated transport boxes, ensuring sample integrity from your vein to the laboratory without you leaving your home.
3. Do I need to prepare or fast before the test?
Snippet: No fasting or dietary changes are required, but you must complete a genetic counselling session to provide your family’s medical pedigree.
That pre‑counselling, mandated by UAE genetic testing regulations, helps us interpret your result correctly and ensures you fully understand the implications before the needle ever touches your skin.
