Test Overview & Methodology
The FLT3 Gene Mutation Test is a definitive molecular profiling assay that identifies internal tandem duplications (ITD) and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations critical for risk stratification and targeted therapy selection in acute myeloid leukemia. In the UAE, DHA mandates this test under strict cold-chain logistics and ISO 9001:2015 quality systems, ensuring every result empowers oncologists with precision medicine insights.
| Feature | Our FLT3 Test | Standard PCR Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Real-Time PCR (qPCR) with Capillary Electrophoresis Fragment Analysis, confirmatory NGS/WGS | Conventional PCR only |
| Sensitivity | 99.9% โ detects ITD allele ratios below 0.03 | ~85% โ may miss low-level mutations |
| Turnaround Time | 1 week | 2โ3 weeks |
| Sample Type | 5 mL whole blood in EDTA (Lavender) โ refrigerated, not frozen / Bone marrow aspirate โ hospital extraction only | Often requires frozen shipments |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I view the FLT3 gene mutation test as an indispensable biomarker for tailoring tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in AML. This molecular result must always be correlated with full blood counts, bone marrow morphology, and cytogenetic studies. Never discontinue prescribed medications without a thorough clinical review.โ

โ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without explicit consultation with your treating physician. Abrupt cessation of therapy may lead to adverse clinical outcomes.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Inadequate sample volume (<3 mL), clotted or frozen specimens, missing Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20), samples in non-EDTA tubes.
- Emergency Red Flags: This test is not a substitute for acute leukemia diagnosis. If you experience sudden fever, severe bruising, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection, seek immediate emergency care โ call 998 or visit the closest hospital.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the FLT3 gene mutation test?
This test identifies specific DNA mutations in the FLT3 gene that drive aggressive acute myeloid leukemia and influence targeted treatment strategies. Results guide the use of FLT3 inhibitor therapies.
2. How do I prepare for the test?
No fasting is required. A 5 mL whole blood sample is collected via our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service at your home. Alternatively, a bone marrow aspirate is collected under sterile conditions at an accredited hospital facility.
3. What does a positive FLT3 mutation mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of ITD or TKD mutations that classify AML as high-risk and guide FLT3 inhibitor therapy. Your oncologist will correlate this finding with cytogenetic and morphological data.
4. How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 7 calendar days from sample receipt at our ISO-accredited laboratory. Urgent requests may be expedited upon physician request.
5. Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your policy and provider. Our team facilitates direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
