Overview: CEP63 Genetic Testing for Microcephaly
The CEP63 Gene Microcephaly NGS Test analyzes the entire coding region of the CEP63 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing to identify pathogenic variants linked to autosomal recessive primary microcephaly and Seckel syndrome. (يبحث الاختبار عن طفرات جينية تسبب صغر الرأس ومتلازمة سيكل).

| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
| Variant Detection | Full gene (exons + splice sites) | Limited to selected exons |
| Price (AED) | 2,800 | ~3,500 (varies) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a clinical geneticist, I emphasize that a CEP63 variant report must be interpreted in the context of the patient’s full dysmorphology evaluation and family history. A positive result can confirm a diagnosis of CEP63-related microcephaly, guiding early intervention and family counseling, but a negative result does not exclude other genetic causes. Telephonic post-test guidance ensures you understand results and next steps.”

⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This genetic test does not alter medication regimens.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Inability of legal guardian to provide informed consent for minors; absence of documented microcephaly (< -2 SD) or relevant dysmorphic features; active coagulopathy unless sample is collected via buccal swab/FTA card.
- Turnaround Caution: Not suitable for emergency prenatal diagnosis; TAT 3–4 weeks.
- Emergency Red Flags: Seek immediate medical care if the patient develops seizures, loss of consciousness, or signs of anaphylaxis (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty) after blood collection. These are unrelated to the test but require urgent attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: What does the CEP63 genetic test diagnose?
Direct Answer (Snippet-Killer): This test identifies mutations in the CEP63 gene causing autosomal recessive primary microcephaly and Seckel syndrome, aiding precise clinical management. (يشخّص الاختبار طفرات جين CEP63 المسببة لصغر الرأس الأولي ومتلازمة سيكل). It sequences the entire gene to detect single nucleotide variants, small deletions, and copy number changes.
Q: How is the sample collected for the test in the UAE?
Direct Answer (Snippet-Killer): A certified phlebotomist collects 2–3 mL of whole blood, or a painless finger-prick blood spot on an FTA card at your home. (يتم جمع عينة دم عبر وخز الإصبع أو سحب وريدي منزلي). The sample is transported in a temperature-controlled cold chain to our ISO-certified lab.
Q: Is this test covered by insurance or mandated by DHA regulations?
Direct Answer (Snippet-Killer): We verify direct billing eligibility with major UAE insurers via WhatsApp; under DHA 2026 guidelines, genetic testing requires informed consent and clinical indication. (نتحقق من تغطية التأمين مباشرة، ويتطلب الاختبار موافقة مستنيرة حسب إرشادات هيئة الصحة). The is not mandatory but recommended for children with microcephaly under specialist care.
UAE Regulatory Compliance: This service adheres to Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87), CDS Law 2026 (Minors' Consent), and UAE Personal Data Protection Law. ISO 9001:2015 Certified (Cert: INT/EGQ/2509DA/3139). DHA Facility License: 9834453.
