Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced next-generation sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire RPS28 gene to definitively diagnose Diamond-Blackfan anemia type 15, a congenital pure red cell aplasia often accompanied by mandibulofacial dysostosis. Unlike conventional single-gene methods, our panel detects point mutations, small indels, and copy number variants with a rapid 3–4 week turnaround, enabling early intervention and accurate family planning.
| Feature | Our RPS28 NGS Test | Standard Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage + copy number variations | Point mutations only, misses large deletions |
| Method | NGS (Illumina platform, analytical sensitivity >99%) | Capillary sequencing, limited resolution |
| Turnaround | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant medical geneticist, I understand how a suspected diagnosis of Diamond-Blackfan anemia can cause immense anxiety. This test provides the molecular confirmation so many families need, but please remember that results must be correlated with your clinical picture. A negative genetic finding does not completely exclude the condition, and a positive result should be discussed with your specialist to tailor treatment and surveillance,” says Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403).
Advisory: Medication Safety
Critical Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed corticosteroids, iron chelators, or any other therapy without consulting your treating physician. Stopping medication abruptly can precipitate severe anemia or organ damage. This test is solely for diagnostic confirmation and does not replace ongoing medical management.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion: Acute hemolysis requiring urgent transfusion within 48 hours – proceed with testing only after stabilization.
- Exclusion: Inability to provide valid consent for genetic testing. Minors require consent from a legal guardian per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- ER Red Flag: Seek immediate care if you experience new onset pallor, fainting, fast heartbeat, unexplained bruising, bone pain, or fever. These may indicate severe anemia or transformation to leukemia.
- All biological samples are handled under UAE PDPL privacy standards; data is processed solely in our ISO-certified laboratory (DHA License No. 1143).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What sample is required for the RPS28 genetic test, and how is it collected?
A single blood draw (3-5 mL in EDTA), extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card is all that is needed. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy team handles collection with a temperature-controlled cold-chain kit to keep your sample stable from your doorstep to the lab.
2. How accurate is the NGS for Diamond-Blackfan anemia type 15 diagnosis?
Our NGS assay demonstrates >99.9% analytical sensitivity and 100% specificity for RPS28 mutations, simultaneously detecting single nucleotide variants and copy number alterations that typical single-gene tests miss, drastically reducing false negatives.
3. Will my insurance cover the AED 2,800 cost and what do I need to provide?
Most UAE insurance plans cover genetic testing for hereditary anemias when medically necessary. Simply WhatsApp your policy card to +971 54 548 8731 and our team will verify coverage and handle direct billing before your appointment.
