Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic testing does not replace ongoing clinical management.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Minors (<18 years) must have legal guardian consent as per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability and applicable personal status laws.
- Patients with acute febrile illness or active infection should postpone testing to avoid confounding results.
- Individuals on anticoagulant therapy must inform the phlebotomist to ensure safe blood draw.
- Red Flags (seek ER immediately): Severe hypoglycemia, seizures, unexplained loss of consciousness, or signs of metabolic crisis before or after sample collection. This test is elective and not for emergency diagnosis.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the SLC2A2 gene test used for?
The SLC2A2 gene test detects mutations responsible for Fanconi-Bickel syndrome, a rare inherited metabolic disorder affecting glucose transport and causing glycogen accumulation. Early diagnosis guides dietary management and specialist follow-up.
2. How accurate is this genetic test?
Our NGS methodology achieves 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity by sequencing the entire coding region of SLC2A2, ensuring reliable detection of point mutations, small insertions, and deletions. All variants are interpreted following ACMG guidelines by certified molecular pathologists.
3. What is the turnaround time and cost?
The test costs 2,800 AED with a turnaround time of 21 to 28 business days. A mandatory pre-test genetic counselling session to draw a pedigree chart is included. Post-test clinical guidance is provided telephonically within one week of report release. Home collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
