ملخص تنفيذي: نُقدِّم تحليلًا جينيًا دقيقًا لجين RPL21 المُسبِّب لنقص الشعر من النوع 12 باستخدام تقنية التسلسل من الجيل التالي (NGS) المُعتمدة وفق أعلى المعايير الدولية. يشمل الفحص استشارات وراثية مُسبقة وتحليلًا شاملًا للحمض النووي مع دعم كامل للخصوصية وحماية البيانات وفق قانون دولة الإمارات.
Test Overview
This advanced NGS test deciphers the RPL21 gene for pathogenic variants linked to hypotrichosis type 12, a rare hereditary hair disorder often presenting with sparse, fragile hair from birth. The assay delivers single‑nucleotide resolution across all coding exons, enabling definitive diagnosis and informed family‑planning decisions.
يكشف هذا الفحص الجيني الدقيق عن الطفرات المسبِّبة لمرض نقص الشعر من النوع 12، مما يُسهِّل التشخيص الباكر واتخاذ القرارات الطبية المناسبة للأسرة.

| Price | 2800 AED | 4500 – 6500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a clinical dermatologist, I recognise the profound emotional impact of congenital hair loss. This test provides molecular confirmation that can guide not only prognosis but also family counselling. However, DNA results must always be interpreted alongside a thorough physical examination and detailed family history.”
— Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License: 61713011
⚠ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including topical or systemic therapies for hair or immune conditions, without explicit instruction from your supervising physician.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Exclusion: Acute febrile illness within 48 hours of sample collection. Active skin infection at venipuncture site. Blood transfusion in the last 90 days (may obscure germline DNA).
- ER Red Flags: Sudden, rapidly progressive hair loss accompanied by fever, joint pain, or mucosal ulcers. Signs of secondary bacterial or fungal infection of the scalp (pain, pus, foul odour). Any severe allergic reaction during specimen collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: How does the RPL21 NGS test differ from a routine hair‑loss blood panel?
The RPL21 Genetic Test pinpoints the root cause of inherited hair loss, enabling lifelong family counselling and precise prognosis.
س: كم يستغرق الحصول على النتيجة وما هي أهمية الاستشارة الوراثية المسبقة؟
تظهر النتائج عادةً خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع، وتُقدَّم استشارة وراثية شاملة قبل الفحص لرسم شجرة العائلة وتوضيح احتمالية انتقال المرض للأبناء. تُساعد الاستشارة على فهم منافع الفحص وحدوده، وتُضمن أخذ موافقة مُستنيرة قبل البدء بالتحليل المخبري.
Q: Can this test be performed on a newborn or infant?
Yes, the requires only a small blood spot on an FTA card or minimal whole blood, safe for neonates when collected by a paediatric phlebotomist. We strictly follow UAE CDS Law 2026 for minors, ensuring parental consent and a genetic counselling session to discuss implications before proceeding with sample collection.
