🔬 Overview
This advanced genetic test employs Next‑Generation Sequencing to detect pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants across the entire coding region of the CEP164 gene, the molecular cause of Nephronophthisis type 15 – a multi‑system ciliopathy affecting the kidneys, liver, and eyes. Early molecular diagnosis enables personalised surveillance, anticipatory management, and informed family planning.
يكتشف هذا الفحص الطفرات المسببة للأمراض في الجين CEP164 المرتبط بداء الكلى الكلوي من النوع 15، مما يتيح التدخل المبكر والتخطيط الأسري الدقيق.

🩺 Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive CEP164 result must always be interpreted alongside renal ultrasound, liver function, and ophthalmological findings. The test illuminates the genetic road, but the clinical picture drives the journey. It is essential that families receive pre‑ and post‑test genetic counselling to understand the autosomal recessive inheritance and recurrence risk.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011), Consultant Nephrology & Clinical Genetics
⚠️ Medication & Safety Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Genetic results may identify susceptibility, but they do not replace ongoing treatment plans. All management changes must be guided by your treating physician.

❓ Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What is the CEP164 genetic test used for?
This test identifies pathogenic mutations in the CEP164 gene that cause nephronophthisis type 15, a ciliopathy affecting the kidneys, liver, and eyes, enabling early diagnosis and targeted family screening.
ما هو استخدام فحص الجين CEP164؟
يُستخدم هذا الفحص لتحديد الطفرات المسببة للأمراض في الجين CEP164 المسؤول عن التهاب الكلى الكلوي من النوع 15، مما يُمكّن من التشخيص المبكر والفحص الأسري الموجه.
What sample is required and how is collection done at home?
A blood draw, one drop of blood on an FTA card, or previously extracted DNA is required; our VIP phlebotomy team visits your UAE home with full cold-chain transport, ensuring specimen integrity per ISO 9001:2015 standards.
ما العينة المطلوبة وكيف يتم جمعها في المنزل؟
يلزم سحب عينة دم، أو قطرة دم على بطاقة FTA، أو DNA مستخلص مسبقًا؛ يقوم فريق الفصد المتنقل بزيارة منزلك مع نقل مبرد معتمد لضمان سلامة العينة وفق معايير ISO 9001:2015.
Are genetic counselling and privacy guaranteed?
A certified genetic counsellor draws a pedigree and provides pre‑/post‑test guidance; all genetic data is protected under UAE PDPL and Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024, never shared without explicit consent.
هل الاستشارة الوراثية وخصوصية البيانات مضمونة؟
