Clinical Overview & Test Comparison
The ARG1 gene NGS test detects pathogenic variants causing arginase deficiency, a urea cycle disorder leading to hyperargininemia, neurological deterioration, and spasticity, enabling precise diagnosis and family planning. اختبار تسلسل جين ARG1 يكشف الطفرات المسببة لنقص الأرجيناز، مما يسمح بالتشخيص الدقيق والاستشارة الوراثية.
| Feature | Our NGS Panel (Precision) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99.9% sensitivity, full gene coverage including deep intronic variants | Limited to targeted known mutations; may miss novel variants |
| Method | Next-Generation Sequencing (Illumina platform), LC-MS/MS validated | Capillary electrophoresis; gene-wide coverage incomplete |
| Speed | 3–4 weeks from sample receipt | 2–3 weeks (but with lower diagnostic yield) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“Understanding the genetic basis of a child’s neurological symptoms can be deeply distressing for families. This test is a critical step, but it must always be correlated with biochemical findings, clinical history, and a comprehensive pedigree chart obtained during genetic counselling. A negative result does not exclude the diagnosis if clinical suspicion remains high.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA 61713011, Consultant Clinical Geneticist
Safety Exclusion & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Age under 6 months without clear clinical indication; inability to provide informed consent; recent blood transfusion (<2 weeks) that may confound DNA analysis.
- Emergency Red Flags: If the patient develops acute hyperammonemia symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, seizures, or respiratory alkalosis, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency department. This test is not a substitute for urgent metabolic crisis management.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: What is the purpose of the ARG1 gene test?
A: It identifies DNA mutations in the ARG1 gene to confirm arginase deficiency diagnosis, carrier status, or guide treatment. This NGS test detects both previously reported and novel pathogenic variants, providing a comprehensive genetic assessment for metabolic specialists.
الغرض من الاختبار: تحديد طفرات الحمض النووي في جين ARG1 لتأكيد تشخيص نقص الأرجيناز أو حالة الحمل الوراثي.
Q: How is the sample collected in the UAE?
A: A DHA-licensed phlebotomist collects blood via home visit; DNA can also be extracted from an FTA card. The service operates daily 8 AM–11 PM with an ISO-certified cold-chain protocol, ensuring sample stability for NGS.
طريقة جمع العينة: يقوم أخصائي سحب دم مرخص من هيئة الصحة بدبي بزيارة منزلية، ويمكن أيضًا استخلاص الحمض النووي من بطاقة FTA.
Q: What is the turnaround time and cost?
A: Results are delivered within 3 to 4 weeks at a price of AED 2,800 inclusive of genetic counselling. The fee covers the complete workflow: sample collection, NGS sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and a post- teleconsultation session.
المدة والتكلفة: تُصدر النتائج خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع بسعر 2800 درهم شاملًا الجلسة الاستشارية الوراثية.
