Overview
This test uses Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) to screen the entire coding region of the RLBP1 gene, confirming or excluding Bothnia retinal dystrophy – a rare, progressive retinal degeneration. يكشف التحليل الطفرات المسببة لحثل الشبكية البوثني، مقدماً تشخيصاً نهائياً للمرضى وعائلاتهم.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As an ophthalmologist, I understand the deep anxiety that accompanies waiting for a genetic confirmation of progressive vision loss. This RLBP1 NGS test delivers a definitive molecular diagnosis, enabling precise counselling on disease course and inheritance. Nevertheless, a genetic result must always be integrated with a full clinical examination and family history.”
– Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, MD (Ophthalmology), DHA License 61713011
⚠️ Medication Safety Notice:
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication (e.g., ocular hypotensives, systemic steroids) without consulting your physician. Genetic testing does not replace ongoing clinical management.
Patient Safety Box – Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Exclusion: Blood transfusion within 8 weeks, active systemic infection, or inability to provide informed consent.
- Exclusion: For DNA FTA cards, insufficient blood spot volume or contamination.
- Red Flag (Seek Immediate Eye Care): Sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain, photophobia with nausea – these are not related to sample collection but may indicate acute retinal emergency.
- Red Flag: If you experience worsening night blindness or visual field constriction while waiting for results, contact your ophthalmologist immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the RLBP1 NGS test performed and what sample is required?
A single blood sample, extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot on an FTA card is used to sequence the entire RLBP1 gene with >99.9% analytic accuracy. يُجرى الاختبار على عينة دم بسيطة أو حمض نووي مستخلص، ويُسلسل جين RLBP1 كاملاً بدقة تفوق ٩٩.٩٪.
2. Who interprets the result and will I receive genetic counselling?
A DHA‑licensed clinical geneticist provides a comprehensive interpretation and you will receive a telephonic post‑test counselling session to explain the findings. يُفسر النتيجة أخصائي وراثة سريرية مرخص من هيئة الصحة بدبي، مع جلسة إرشاد هاتفية بعد الاختبار.
3. Can this test be used for family screening or predictive testing in minors?
Yes, it can identify at‑risk relatives, but predictive testing of minors follows UAE CDS Law 2026 and requires parental consent and pre‑ counselling. يمكن استخدامه لفحص الأقارب، لكن فحص القاصرين يخضع لقانون السلامة الرقمية ٢٠٢٦ وموافقة الوالدين.
