Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced RNA sequencing test delivers a comprehensive transcriptome profile encompassing long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), enabling precise gene expression analysis for oncology, rheumatology, and translational research. Strand-specific library preparation preserves orientation information, and bioinformatics pipelines (STAR/featureCounts, LNCipedia) provide robust differential expression and pathway enrichment data.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA Licensed Facility 1143) | Standard RNA-Seq (Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Stranded library prep + lncRNA annotation (Illumina NovaSeq, STAR/featureCounts, LNCipedia) | Non-stranded poly-A selected; no lncRNA detection |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% (ISO-certified processing) | ~95% (standard lab) |
| Turnaround Time | 8 weeks (rigorous bioinformatics validation) | 6–8 weeks |
| Price | 6,500 AED (insurance direct billing supported) | 4,000–7,000 AED (often without lncRNA) |
| Clinical Support | Post-test tele-consultation included, ISO 9001:2015 (Cert: INT/EGQ/2509DA/3139) | Minimal |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant medical geneticist, I understand the profound implications of transcriptome profiling. This stranded analysis reveals critical expression patterns in coding and non-coding RNAs, but every result must be interpreted within the full clinical picture—including imaging, histopathology, and family history. I strongly recommend discussing findings with your treating oncologist or rheumatologist before making any therapeutic adjustment.” – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
⛔ Medication Safety Notice
Do not discontinue or adjust any prescribed medication—including corticosteroids, DMARDs, or targeted therapies—without direct consultation with your physician. Test results are a complementary diagnostic tool; therapeutic changes must be guided by your treating specialist.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Acute febrile illness (temperature >38.5°C), recent blood transfusion (<2 weeks), or systemic chemotherapy within the last 14 days (may alter RNA integrity).
- Emergency Red Flags: If you experience sudden severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection after sample collection, seek immediate emergency care.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is eukaryotic stranded transcriptome sequencing, and why is it ordered?
Eukaryotic stranded transcriptome sequencing is a high-resolution RNA sequencing technique that preserves strand orientation, analyzing both coding and long non-coding RNA for comprehensive gene expression profiling. It is ordered to uncover molecular drivers in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and research settings.
2. How should I prepare for the test, and what sample is required?
For whole blood collection, specialized PAXgene or Tempus tubes preserve RNA immediately; no fasting is required unless your doctor specifies otherwise. Tissue biopsies must be snap-frozen instantly after collection to maintain RNA quality.
3. How long until I receive my results, and how are they interpreted?
Results are available within 8 weeks, delivering detailed differential expression data, pathway enrichment, and lncRNA annotation that require expert clinical interpretation by your oncologist or rheumatologist—do not self-interpret.
