Overview
The CITED2 gene test uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect pathogenic variants linked to atrial septal defect type 8 (ASD8). It provides definitive molecular diagnosis, guides familial risk assessment, and informs clinical management in cardiology and genetics.
يستخدم اختبار جين CITED2 تقنية التسلسل الجيني المتقدم (NGS) للكشف عن الطفرات الممرضة المرتبطة بعيب الحاجز الأذيني النوع 8، مما يؤمن تشخيصًا جزيئيًا دقيقًا وتقييم المخاطر العائلية.
| Feature | Our Test (Precision/Method/Speed) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical Sensitivity | 99.9% for SNVs/small indels | ~95% (Sanger of exons) |
| Methodology | NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) – full gene coverage | Sanger sequencing – selected exons |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 2–3 Weeks |
| Variant Detection | Deep intronic, regulatory, and copy number variants (if ordered) | Limited to coding regions; may miss deep intronic variants |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a cardiologist, I understand receiving a genetic diagnosis for a congenital heart defect can be overwhelming. This test is a powerful tool, but it should always be interpreted alongside a complete cardiac evaluation and family history. I urge you to consult with your genetic counselor and cardiologist to fully understand the implications for you and your family.” – Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License: 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags (UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024, Art. 87, CDS Law 2026, PDPL)
- Exclusion: Testing of asymptomatic minors without parental consent and prior clinical geneticist evaluation is prohibited under UAE law.
- Data Privacy: All genetic data processed in accordance with UAE PDPL; no third‑party sharing without explicit consent.
- Red Flag: If the patient presents with acute cyanosis, respiratory distress, or signs of heart failure, immediate emergency cardiac evaluation is required—this genetic test does not replace urgent clinical care.
- Pre‑Test Requirement: A genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart and collect detailed clinical history is mandatory prior to sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What is the CITED2 gene test and why is it important?
It detects disease-causing CITED2 gene mutations associated with atrial septal defect type 8 (ASD8) diagnosis. The test examines the entire coding region of the CITED2 gene using NGS technology, enabling precise molecular confirmation of ASD8. This is crucial for accurate diagnosis, genetic counseling, family screening, and management decisions in pediatric and adult cardiology. The results can identify carriers and guide prenatal or pre‑implantation genetic testing when indicated.
يكشف هذا الاختبار عن الطفرات المسبّبة للمرض في جين CITED2 المرتبطة بعيب الحاجز الأذيني النوع 8 (ASD8)، مما يوفر تشخيصًا جزيئيًا دقيقًا ويساعد في الاستشارة الوراثية وفحص أفراد الأسرة.
How is the performed and what sample is needed?
A blood sample or oral swab is collected, then DNA extraction and NGS sequencing of CITED2 are performed. Our DHA‑licensed phlebotomist performs the home collection using a cold‑chain certified kit. The sample is transported to our ISO‑accredited laboratory where DNA is isolated and prepared for Next‑Generation Sequencing. Results are thoroughly interpreted by a multidisciplinary team including molecular geneticists and cardiologists. You may choose whole blood, extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card.
يتم جمع عينة دم أو مسحة فموية، ثم يُستخلص الحمض النووي ويُسلسل جين CITED2 بتقنية NGS. تتوفر خدمة السحب المنزلي عبر الفريق الطبي المعتمد من هيئة الصحة بدبي.
How long do results take, and what does the report include?
Results are delivered in 3-4 weeks, including variant classification, clinical interpretation, and genetic counseling recommendations. The final report identifies pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variants of uncertain significance (VUS) according to ACMG/AMP guidelines. It provides a clear correlation with your family history, risk assessment for relatives, and actionable follow‑up steps. A tele‑consult with our genetic counselor is included to explain the findings and answer any questions you may have.
تُصدر النتائج خلال 3-4 أسابيع، وتتضمن تصنيف الطفرات، تفسيرًا سريريًا، وتوصيات الاستشارة الوراثية. يشمل التقرير شرحًا مفصلًا مع إمكانية استشارة هاتفية بعد الاختبار.
