اختبار دقيق للغاية لتسلسل جين CDKN1C يساعد في تشخيص متلازمة IMAGE النادرة. يتم التحليل باستخدام تقنية NGS المعتمدة وفق معايير ISO 9001:2015، مع إمكانية الجمع المنزلي والاستشارة الطبية بعد النتيجة.
Test Overview & Methodology
This single‑gene NGS test fully sequences the CDKN1C gene to detect pathogenic variants underlying IMAGE syndrome (intrauterine growth restriction, metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia, and genital anomalies). Designed for pediatric and neonatal dysmorphology work‑ups, it delivers actionable molecular data within 3–4 weeks.
| Feature | Our NGS CDKN1C Test | Standard Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Gene Coverage | Full coding region ±20 bp exon‑intron boundaries | Limited to pre‑selected exonic segments |
| Analytical Sensitivity | 99.9% (pathogenic/likely pathogenic CNV & SNVs) | ~95% for targeted SNPs only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
| Clinical Utility | Comprehensive dysmorphology diagnosis & family counselling | Variant‑specific follow‑up only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Geneticist, I emphasize that full CDKN1C sequencing provides definitive molecular confirmation for IMAGE syndrome, yet every result must be correlated with the complete clinical phenotype. This test identifies the underlying genomic cause; it does not replace longitudinal pediatric monitoring or endocrine management. Continue all prescribed therapies unless your specialist instructs otherwise.”

Critical Exclusion Criteria & Clinical Red Flags
- Hemodynamically unstable infants unable to tolerate venipuncture
- Active infection at the phlebotomy site
- Genetic testing for minors without explicit informed consent from a legal guardian per UAE Federal Law
- Seek ER care immediately if: signs of adrenal crisis (vomiting, severe dehydration, hypotension, altered consciousness) develop in an undiagnosed neonate
Important Medication Advisory
Sudden cessation of prescribed corticosteroid therapy in confirmed or suspected adrenal insufficiency may precipitate a life‑threatening adrenal crisis. Always consult your pediatric endocrinologist before modifying medication regimens.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CDKN1C IMAGE Syndrome Genetic Test?
This next‑generation sequencing test analyzes the entire CDKN1C gene to identify pathogenic variants causing IMAGE syndrome, a rare disorder marked by prenatal growth failure, skeletal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia, and genital anomalies. The result guides precise management, hormone replacement, and genetic counseling for families across the UAE. Processing follows DHA‑endorsed NGS protocols under ISO 9001:2015 certification.
2. How is the sample collected for CDKN1C testing in the UAE?
A certified pediatric phlebotomist performs a gentle home blood draw or collects an FTA card blood spot, using infant‑friendly techniques to minimize discomfort while maintaining specimen integrity. We accept whole blood, extracted DNA, or a single drop on an FTA card. Samples are transported under cold‑chain logistics (ISO validated) directly to our CAP‑accredited molecular lab. The entire process is coordinated via WhatsApp +971545488731 and complies with UAE PDPL data privacy requirements.
3. What are the turnaround time and price for full CDKN1C gene sequencing?
Results are delivered within 3 to 4 weeks at a fixed cost of 2,800 AED, including comprehensive variant interpretation, a clinician‑friendly report, and a post‑tele‑consultation with our genetic team. This price covers the entire analytical pipeline from library preparation to bioinformatic annotation using ClinVar, gnomAD, and DHA‑curated variant databases. Direct insurance billing can be verified instantly via WhatsApp.
