DNAI1 Gene Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 1 Genetic Test in UAE – 2800 AED
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Test Overview & Methodology
This genetic test requires a simple blood draw, extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot and delivers results in 3 to 4 weeks. Next‑generation sequencing (NGS) with MLPA‑based deletion/duplication analysis targets the entire coding region of the DNAI1 gene, enabling early diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia type 1 associated with chronic sinusitis and bronchiectasis.
| Parameter | Our DNAI1 NGS Test | Alternative (Multigenic PCD Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Target Precision | Single‑gene deep coverage (minimum 100×) | Multiple genes, variable depth |
| Methodology | NGS + MLPA‑based deletion/duplication analysis | NGS only, may miss large rearrangements |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 4–6 weeks (possible re‑reflex delays) |
| Clinical Report | Comprehensive with ACMG classification & DHA‑compliant summary | Standard panel report |

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the DNAI1 gene test look for, and how long does it take?
This test sequences the entire DNAI1 gene to identify single‑nucleotide variants and copy‑number changes that cause primary ciliary dyskinesia type 1. Results are typically released within 3 to 4 weeks after the lab receives your specimen.
2. Will my UAE health insurance cover the 2800 AED cost, and how do I confirm that?
Many UAE providers cover genetic testing when medically necessary; send a photo of your insurance card via WhatsApp to +971 54 548 8731 and we will verify eligibility and direct‑billing options within one hour.
3. Is a home blood draw safe and what should I expect from the mobile phlebotomist?
Our mobile phlebotomists are DHA‑licensed, use a single‑use safety‑engineered butterfly device, and pack your sample immediately in a cold‑chain kit. The entire visit takes under 15 minutes and adheres to UAE infection control regulations.
