Test Overview & Methodology
This next‑generation sequencing (NGS) test screens the APOA2 gene for pathogenic variants linked to Apolipoprotein A‑II deficiency, a rare inherited lipid disorder affecting HDL metabolism. The analysis covers all coding exons, splice sites, and copy number variations.
| Feature | Our Test (APOA2 NGS) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | NGS – full gene sequencing | Targeted genotyping / biochemical ApoA‑II assay |
| Detection Spectrum | All coding exons, splice sites, CNVs | Pre‑selected SNPs / protein level only |
| Turnaround Time | 3‑4 weeks | Variable (often >4 weeks) |
| ISO 9001:2015 Accredited | ✔ (Cert: INT/EGQ/2509DA/3139) | ✘ Not guaranteed |
| UAE DHA Licensed Facility | ✔ License 1143 | May vary |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Genetic testing such as the APOA2 NGS analysis offers crucial insight into inherited metabolic risks, but it must be correlated with clinical assessment, lipid profiles, and family history. Understanding your genetic makeup empowers proactive health management without causing undue anxiety.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion Criteria: Haemolysed, clotted or insufficient blood/DNA samples; specimens collected in non‑approved tubes; missing patient identification.
- ER Red Flags: If you experience sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or signs of acute pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain), seek emergency medical attention—this test is for elective genetic screening, not acute diagnosis.
- Pre‑test Requirement: A genetic counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Apolipoprotein A‑II deficiency is mandatory before sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the APOA2 genetic test detect?
This test identifies pathogenic variants in the APOA2 gene responsible for Apolipoprotein A‑II deficiency, a rare condition affecting HDL cholesterol metabolism. The NGS analysis covers all coding exons and flanking splice regions, delivering comprehensive variant detection.
2. How is the sample collected, and how long do results take?
A certified phlebotomist collects a blood sample (or a drop on an FTA card) at your home via our VIP mobile service, with results ready in 3‑4 weeks. Extracted DNA can also be submitted. The cold‑chain logistics preserve sample integrity under ISO 9001:2015 standards.
3. Is this covered by UAE health insurance?
Many UAE insurers cover genetic testing when ordered by a DHA‑licensed clinician; our billing team verifies your policy directly via WhatsApp for immediate confirmation. Simply send your Emirates ID and policy number to +971 54 548 8731 for pre‑authorisation.
