Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced NGS panel sequences the entire OSMR gene to detect mutations linked to primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis type 1, a rare dermatological condition. Our test utilizes high‑depth Illumina sequencing, ensuring comprehensive coverage and variant classification per ACMG guidelines, ideal for dermatologists, oncologists, and genetic counsellors seeking confirmation of hereditary cutaneous amyloidosis. DNA Labs UAE performs this analysis under its DHA licensed facility in Dubai Healthcare City.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics specialist, I understand the emotional weight of pursuing genetic testing for a rare condition like primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis type 1. This test offers precise molecular insights, but results should always be interpreted alongside clinical findings and family history. I encourage patients to discuss outcomes with a qualified genetic counselor to fully understand the implications for themselves and their families.”

Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Age restriction: Minors require legal guardian consent as per UAE regulations.
- Sample collection: Active dermatological infection at blood draw site or known severe coagulopathy prevents standard venipuncture.
- Emergency signs: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience unexplained weight loss, macroglossia, cardiac arrhythmias, or nephrotic syndrome – these may suggest systemic amyloidosis.
- Not for acute diagnosis: This genetic test does not replace urgent clinical evaluation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the OSMR gene test?
This NGS test identifies mutations in OSMR causing primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis type 1, enabling precise diagnosis and family risk assessment. It is intended for individuals with clinical suspicion of hereditary cutaneous amyloidosis.
2. How is the test performed and what samples are accepted?
A simple peripheral blood draw is sufficient for high‑quality DNA extraction. For convenience, VIP Mobile Phlebotomy can be scheduled at your home or office. Alternatively, extracted DNA or dried blood spots on FTA cards are also acceptable.
3. Is genetic counseling included with the test?
We strongly recommend pre‑test genetic counseling to draw a family pedigree and discuss implications. Post‑test telephonic clinical guidance is provided to help interpret results and guide next steps.
