Test Overview & Methodology
The GP9 Gene Bernard Soulier Syndrome, Type C Genetic Test is a definitive molecular assay that identifies pathogenic variants in the GP9 gene causing autosomal recessive Bernard‑Soulier syndrome – a severe platelet disorder. Our test utilizes Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) with full transcriptome/RNA sequencing integration to deliver near‑perfect sensitivity.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA‑Approved) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | NGS + RNA Sequencing (full gene coverage) | Sanger sequencing of select exons only |
| Variant Detection | SNVs, indels, copy‑number changes, splicing mutations – 99.9% analytic sensitivity | Point mutations & small indels; CNVs often missed |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks (prioritised for urgent clinical need) | 6–8 weeks |
| Clinical Support | Pre‑ & post‑test genetic counselling included | Report only, no tele‑guidance |
| Regulatory Body | DHA‑licensed facility (License: 1143), ISO 9001:2015 | May lack UAE‑specific accreditation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Understanding your genetic risk for a bleeding disorder can be daunting. This NGS test provides you and your clinician with a powerful map of the GP9 gene, but it doesn’t replace a thorough bleeding history and platelet function assessment. You are not alone – our genetic counselling team will walk you through each finding, ensuring you feel supported and informed at every step.”

Advisory
Do not discontinue or modify any prescribed medication, especially antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants, without direct consultation with your treating physician. This test alone cannot guide acute management.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Inability to provide informed consent; active severe illness that prevents safe blood collection; known unavailability of a competent adult to receive results.
- Red Flags – Seek ER Care Immediately: Sudden severe bleeding (nose, gums, urine, gastrointestinal), heavy menstrual bleeding with dizziness, or signs of intracranial haemorrhage (severe headache, confusion, loss of consciousness).
- Post‑Test Caveat: A negative result does not rule out other platelet disorders; clinical correlation is mandatory.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the GP9 gene test diagnose, and why do I need it?
This NGS test identifies disease‑causing mutations in the GP9 gene responsible for autosomal recessive Bernard‑Soulier syndrome type C, a lifelong platelet disorder. It confirms the diagnosis in symptomatic patients with prolonged bleeding, giant platelets, and thrombocytopenia, and it enables carrier testing for family planning. Accurate genetic confirmation is essential for tailored management and to avoid misdiagnosis as immune thrombocytopenia.
2. How is the sample collected, and is a home visit available in my emirate?
A small volume of whole blood (3–5 mL in EDTA), extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card is all that is required. Our VIP home‑collection service operates daily from 8 AM to 11 PM across all seven emirates, with ISO‑certified cold‑chain logistics preserving sample integrity until it reaches the sequencing facility.
3. How reliable are the results, and what support do I get afterwards?
Our laboratory achieves 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity for the GP9 gene by combining NGS with RNA sequencing, a method that outperforms traditional Sanger sequencing. After the report is issued, you receive a complimentary tele‑consultation with a DHA‑licensed genetic counsellor who explains the clinical significance of each variant and guides you on next steps, including referral to a haematologist if indicated.
