Test Overview & Methodology
The CD81 gene NGS test detects pathogenic variants causing Common Variable Immunodeficiency type 6 (CVID6), an autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency marked by hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, autoimmunity, and increased malignancy risk.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for single‑exon & copy‑number variants | ~95% sensitivity; may miss large deletions/duplications |
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) with full gene coverage | Sanger sequencing of coding regions; limited to known hotspots |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 weeks | 4 to 6 weeks (longer for deletion/duplication reflex) |
| Sample Flexibility | Whole blood, extracted DNA, or one drop on FTA card | Typically requires extracted DNA |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"A genetic diagnosis of CVID6 must be evaluated alongside immunoglobulin levels and clinical phenotype. NGS provides the comprehensive view needed to guide immunologist-led management. Do not alter therapy without specialist input."
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
⚠ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed immunoglobulin therapy, immunosuppressants, or any other medication without consulting your doctor. Abrupt cessation can trigger severe infection or autoimmune flare.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Blood transfusion within 2 weeks; inadequate pre‑test genetic counselling; inability to provide informed consent (Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 mandates guardian consent for minors).
- ER Red Flags: Severe dyspnoea, high fever with rigors, sudden anaphylaxis, or loss of consciousness following blood draw – call 998 immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the CD81 gene test actually diagnose?
This identifies pathogenic variants in the CD81 gene that cause Common Variable Immunodeficiency type 6, a hereditary immune disorder characterised by low antibody levels and recurrent infections.
2. How accurate is the NGS methodology for CD81?
Our NGS assay achieves 99.9% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single‑nucleotide variants and large rearrangements within CD81.
3. Can I use a single drop of blood on an FTA card?
Yes, a single drop of blood on a DNA‑stabilising FTA card is accepted and maintains integrity for NGS analysis.
4. How long does it take to get results?
The turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt. Urgent cases can be expedited upon request.
