Test Overview
The SLC25A13 Genetic Test identifies pathogenic variants in the citrin gene, confirming citrin deficiency (citrullinemia type II, NICCD) with >99% analytical sensitivity. Designed for metabolic disorder clinics, paediatric referral centres, and family planning units across the UAE, it reflects 2026 DHA-mandated precision diagnostics.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA-Compliant) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | NGS + bidirectional Sanger confirmation; indel & CNV coverage | Single-gene Sanger only, limited to point mutations |
| Method | Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina® platform) with ISO 9001:2015 audit trail | Biochemical citrulline/arginine ratio; often inconclusive |
| Speed | 3–4 weeks with comprehensive clinical report | Up to 6 weeks with limited interpretative support |
Relevant Specialists: Medical Genetics Specialist (DHA-Licensed), General Physician (DHA-Licensed), Metabolic Disorders Specialist (Paediatric/Adult).
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“Citrin deficiency is a treatable metabolic condition when diagnosed early. I urge all families with suspicious neonatal cholestasis or recurrent hyperammonaemic episodes to pursue NGS-based screening. Correlation with clinical history and dietary management is essential.”
— Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License No. 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or alter dietary therapy without consulting your supervising physician. Test results must be integrated into the full clinical picture.
