Test Overview & Methodology
This Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region of the SERPINF1 gene to diagnose Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 6, a rare autosomal recessive bone fragility disorder. The test delivers high-resolution variant detection and copy number variant (CNV) analysis, providing definitive molecular confirmation for clinical management.
| Feature | Our NGS Test (ISO 15189) | Conventional Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for SERPINF1 variants | ~95% (may miss deep intronic mutations) |
| Methodology | NGS – full gene coverage + CNV detection | Sanger sequencing, exon-by-exon |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 5–6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“We recognize that genetic testing for Osteogenesis Imperfecta can be emotionally challenging. This test delivers clear molecular confirmation, but results must always be interpreted alongside clinical examination and imaging. I encourage you to discuss the report with a medical geneticist or your treating physician.” – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Pre-Test Advisory
Medication Continuation
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or calcium/vitamin D supplements without consulting your doctor. Genetic test results do not replace ongoing medical management.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients under 18 years without parental/guardian consent
- Active infection or open wound at the venipuncture site
- Inability to provide a blood or DNA sample (severe anaemia, refusal)
Emergency Red Flags
Seek immediate medical attention if the patient experiences sudden severe bone pain, new fractures, difficulty breathing, or chest deformity progression.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive SERPINF1 gene mutation mean for Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 6?
A confirmed pathogenic mutation in the SERPINF1 gene definitively establishes the diagnosis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 6, which typically presents with moderate to severe bone fragility and progressive skeletal deformity. Genetic counseling is recommended for family risk assessment.
2. How is the sample collected for the SERPINF1 NGS test?
A trained phlebotomist visits your home to draw a small blood sample (or collect buccal swab DNA) using cold-chain transport to preserve integrity; turnaround time is 3–4 weeks.
3. Is this covered by UAE health insurance?
We verify your insurance coverage directly via WhatsApp (+971 54 548 8731) before booking; most major UAE insurers cover medically necessary genetic testing with pre-authorisation.
