Overview & Clinical Utility
LCAT gene deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder causing lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) dysfunction, leading to corneal opacities, anemia, and progressive renal failure. Our NGS-based Genetic Test provides a definitive molecular diagnosis, guiding early intervention and family planning. نقص إنزيم LCAT هو اضطراب وراثي نادر يؤدي إلى ترسبات دهنية في القرنية وفقر الدم وأمراض الكلى. يقدم اختبارنا الجيني تشخيصاً جزيئياً دقيقاً لتوجيه العلاج الفردي.
| Feature | Our LCAT Gene NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Biochemical / Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity for point mutations, indels, CNVs | Limited to known hotspots; ~85% sensitivity |
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with full gene coverage | Sanger sequencing or LCAT enzyme activity assay |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks (biochemical) / 2–3 Weeks (targeted) |
| Clinical Relevance | Comprehensive variant detection for diagnosis, carrier screening, and therapeutic decisions | May miss rare or novel mutations; less informative for genetic counseling |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“While this NGS test is highly sensitive, clinical correlation with lipid profiles, ophthalmologic findings, and kidney function remains essential. A negative result does not rule out other metabolic conditions; always integrate family history and expert consultation.” – Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA Licensed Clinical Pathologist (ID: 61713011)
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Patients unable to provide informed consent, acute decompensated illness requiring urgent stabilization, or known interferences that could compromise DNA quality.
- Emergency Red Flags: Sudden vision loss, severe abdominal pain, dark urine (hemoglobinuria), rapid swelling of legs/feet – seek immediate medical care regardless of test status. These may signal acute hemolytic crisis or acute kidney injury.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the LCAT gene test detect?
This test analyzes the entire LCAT gene to identify disease-causing mutations responsible for lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency. It screens coding regions and splice junctions via NGS, detecting point mutations, small insertions/deletions, and copy number variations. Results help confirm a clinical suspicion, guide early lipid management, and inform genetic counselling for family members.
ما الذي يكشفه اختبار جين LCAT؟ يحلل هذا الاختبار الجين كاملاً لتحديد الطفرات المسببة لنقص إنزيم الليسيثين-كوليستيرول أسيل ترانسفيراز. يُستخدم لتأكيد التشخيص وتوجيه العلاج المبكر وتقديم الاستشارة الوراثية للعائلة.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
No fasting or special preparation is needed; simply provide a blood sample or DNA extracted from buccal swab. A prior genetic counselling session is highly recommended to draw a pedigree chart and discuss implications. Our mobile phlebotomy team will collect the sample at your convenience; you may continue regular medications unless instructed otherwise.
كيف أستعد للفحص؟ لا يلزم الصيام أو تحضيرات خاصة، فقط عينة دم أو حمض نووي مستخلص من مسحة الفم. يُنصح بجلسة استشارة وراثية لتوثيق التاريخ العائلي.
3. Is the covered by UAE health insurance?
Most UAE insurers cover genetic testing for medically indicated conditions; our team verifies your policy via WhatsApp. Direct billing arrangements are available with many providers. To confirm coverage, send your insurance card copy to +971 54 548 8731. Reimbursement assistance is also offered.
