Comprehensive C7 Gene Analysis – Precision NGS for Complement Deficiency
The C7 Gene Deficiency NGS Test is a high-resolution next-generation sequencing analysis of the entire C7 gene, detecting pathogenic variants linked to hereditary complement component 7 deficiency – a primary immunodeficiency that markedly elevates the risk for invasive meningococcal disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. This test provides definitive molecular diagnosis, guiding lifelong vaccination, antibiotic prophylaxis, and family screening strategies.
تحليل جين C7 بتقنية التسلسل الجيني (NGS) يكشف الطفرات المسببة لنقص المتممة C7، وهو اضطراب مناعي وراثي يزيد خطر العدوى بالمكورات السحائية والذئبة الحمامية الجهازية. يوفر تشخيصًا جزيئيًا نهائيًا يُستخدم لتوجيه التطعيم والوقاية الدوائية والفحص العائلي.
| Feature | Our NGS Test (C7 Full Gene) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | >99.9% for SNVs, indels, CNVs | ~95%, limited to targeted exons |
| Methodology | NGS (Illumina) with 100x coverage, bioinformatics pipeline | Sanger sequencing, single amplicon |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
| Clinical Reporting | ACMG variant classification + DHA-compliant interpretive report | Basic variant list, often without full interpretation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“This genetic test is a powerful tool, but it must be interpreted within the full clinical picture. A positive result identifies the molecular basis for complement deficiency, yet functional studies like CH50/AH50 and the patient’s infection history remain essential for management. Never discontinue prescribed prophylactic antibiotics or immunoglobulin therapy without consulting your immunologist.”

⚠ Medication Safety Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
This test is for genetic diagnosis; it does not replace clinical judgment or alter acute treatment decisions. Any change in prophylaxis or immunosuppressive therapy must be supervised by a specialist.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: This test requires high-quality extracted DNA; samples from patients who have undergone allogeneic bone marrow transplantation may yield donor genotype. Pre-test genetic counselling is mandatory.
- Exclusion: Individuals unable to provide informed consent or for whom pedigree information is incomplete may delay interpretation.
- Red Flags – Seek Immediate Emergency Care: Sudden onset of fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, photophobia, or petechial rash – these may indicate meningococcal meningitis and require urgent medical attention regardless of test status.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What does a positive C7 gene test result mean for my health?
Snippet killer: A positive result identifies a disease-causing mutation in the C7 gene, confirming hereditary complement deficiency with significantly increased susceptibility to meningococcal infections and lupus.
This diagnosis guides the need for lifelong meningococcal vaccination (ACWY and B), antibiotic prophylaxis, and careful monitoring for autoimmune manifestations. Family members should also be tested.
ملخص الإجابة: تؤكد النتيجة الإيجابية وجود طفرة ممرضة في جين C7، مما يثبت نقص المتممة الوراثي مع زيادة خطورة العدوى بالمكورات السحائية والذئبة. يُوصى بالتطعيم والمضادات الحيوية الوقائية وفحص الأقارب.
How is the sample collected and is home collection available?
Snippet killer: A simple blood draw or a drop of blood on an FTA card is collected by a trained phlebotomist, and we offer VIP home collection with cold‑chain transport across all emirates.
You may choose between venipuncture (whole blood) or a nearly painless finger‑prick onto a DNA‑stabilizing FTA card. Our service operates daily from 8 AM to 11 PM, and the specimen is transported in a validated cold‑chain container to prevent degradation.
ملخص: يتم سحب عينة دم بسيطة أو نقطة دم على بطاقة FTA بواسطة فني مختص، مع خدمة السحب المنزلي المتميز في جميع الإمارات مع النقل المبرد.
Is this test covered by insurance in the UAE?
Snippet killer: Most UAE insurers cover the C7 NGS when prescribed by an immunologist or geneticist; direct billing verification is available via WhatsApp before your appointment.
We work with all major networks (Daman, AXA, NextCare, etc.). Simply send your policy details to +971545488731 and we will confirm coverage within one hour. Self‑pay options at 2800 AED are also available.
