Test Overview & Methodology
Human Exome Sequencing using SureSelect V6 technology comprehensively analyzes all protein-coding regions of the genome, enabling detection of single nucleotide variants, small indels, and copy number changes associated with hereditary disorders, cancer predisposition, and pharmacogenomic traits.
| Feature | Our – SureSelect V6 | Closest Alternative – Standard Exome |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with SureSelect V6 Target Enrichment | Generic exome capture (non-SureSelect) |
| Capture Precision | >99.6% efficiency | ~95% efficiency |
| Turnaround Time | 8 Weeks | 12–16 Weeks |
| Price (AED) | 5,500 | ~5,000 (lower diagnostic yield) |
| Scope | Exons + clinically relevant regulatory/splicing regions | Exons only (variable coverage) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Whole exome sequencing provides powerful insights, but results must be reviewed alongside a complete clinical and family history. A positive finding does not guarantee disease, nor does a negative result exclude all genetic risks. Genetic counseling is strongly recommended before and after testing.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory – Do Not Alter Medications
Do not discontinue or change any prescribed medication without consulting your physician. Genetic results may influence future therapeutics but should not be used to modify ongoing treatment without professional guidance.
Patient Safety & Exclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria
- Individuals under 18 without legal guardian consent (per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability).
- Unsuitable sample: hemolyzed whole blood, insufficient extracted DNA, or sample not collected in EDTA/lavender-top tube.
- Patient unable to provide three-generation pedigree or relevant medical records (reduces interpretability).
ER Red Flags
- Development of acute, severe symptoms suggestive of a genetic crisis (e.g., sudden neurological regression, uncontrollable metabolic acidosis).
- Significant bleeding, respiratory distress, or loss of consciousness while awaiting results.
- Chest pain, seizures, or sudden severe headache in a suspected genetic syndrome – proceed to emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is human exome sequencing and why do I need it?
Whole exome sequencing reads all protein-coding DNA, identifying disease-causing mutations with high accuracy. It is recommended when a hereditary condition is suspected, standard tests are inconclusive, or for personalized medicine insights including drug response. Your physician will use the results to guide targeted therapy or preventive measures.
2. How long does it take to receive results?
Your report is typically delivered within 8 weeks, as our ISO-certified lab performs rigorous bioinformatics analysis. The timeline includes DNA extraction, library preparation, sequencing, and variant interpretation by clinical scientists. Urgent analysis requests can be discussed with our genetic counselor.
3. Is home sample collection available and covered by insurance?
We offer hospital-grade home collection from 8 AM to 11 PM, with direct billing verification facilitated via WhatsApp. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy team uses ISO-certified cold-chain protocols to ensure sample integrity. Insurance pre-approval can be arranged by sending your policy details to +971 54 548 8731.
