Test Overview
The IFITM5 Genetic Test identifies mutations in the IFITM5 gene responsible for autosomal dominant Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 5, a condition with bone fragility and hyperplastic callus formation. This targeted sequencing assay provides definitive molecular diagnosis, guides family screening, and informs surgical and bisphosphonate management strategies.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
As a clinical pathologist, I understand the anxiety that comes with genetic testing for a heritable bone disorder. This test, when correlated with clinical and radiological findings, empowers families with vital knowledge for proactive care. I, Dr. Prabhakar Reddy (DHA: 61713011), emphasize that a positive result must be discussed with a medical geneticist or orthopedic specialist before making treatment decisions.
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
Exclusion criteria for blood draw: inability to provide informed consent, severe coagulopathy or bleeding diathesis, known allergy to phlebotomy materials without suitable alternatives. ER red flags requiring immediate medical attention: sudden severe bone pain with swelling or deformity, respiratory distress due to thoracic deformity, new neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness, loss of bladder control).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What does the IFITM5 NGS test detect, and how accurate is it for Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 5?
This test detects pathogenic variants in the IFITM5 gene with over 99% analytical sensitivity, confirming Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 5 diagnosis when correlated with clinical and radiographic criteria. NGS covers all coding exons and splice junctions, and any clinically significant variant is confirmed by Sanger sequencing, ensuring near‑100% specificity. Results are interpreted by board‑certified clinical molecular geneticists according to ACMG 2026 guidelines.
ماذا يكشف تحليل IFITM5 عن مدى دقته في تشخيص تكون العظم الناقص النوع 5؟
يكشف هذا التحليل بدقة تزيد عن 99% عن الطفرات الممرضة في جين IFITM5 ويؤكد تشخيص تكون العظم الناقص النوع 5 عند مطابقته مع المعايير السريرية والإشعاعية.
How do I prepare for the IFITM5 genetic test, and do I need genetic counseling?
No special preparation is required; however, a genetic counseling session to document family history is mandatory to interpret results accurately. You must provide a detailed clinical history and three‑generation pedigree. Our coordinator will schedule a telehealth counselling session before sample collection and after results are released. Fasting is not required.
كيف أستعد لتحليل IFITM5 وهل أحتاج إلى استشارة جينية؟
لا يلزم تحضير خاص، ولكن جلسة استشارة جينية إلزامية لتوثيق تاريخ العائلة لضمان تفسير دقيق للنتائج.
What do the results mean and what are the next steps after a positive IFITM5 test?
A positive result confirms Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 5, prompting a multidisciplinary management plan including orthopedics, physical therapy, and possibly bisphosphonate therapy. A negative result rules out IFITM5‑related disease but does not exclude other OI types; further genetic testing may be considered. In all cases, our clinical team provides a post‑ consultation to explain findings and coordinate referrals to UAE‑based bone dysplasia specialists.
ماذا تعني النتائج وما هي الخطوات التالية بعد نتيجة إيجابية لتحليل IFITM5؟
النتيجة الإيجابية تؤكد تكون العظم الناقص النوع 5 وتستوجب خطة علاجية متعددة التخصصات تشمل جراحة العظام والعلاج الطبيعي وربما البيسفوسفونات.
