Test Overview & Methodology
The GTF2H5 gene test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify pathogenic variants causing trichothiodystrophy, a rare multisystem disorder affecting hair, skin, and immunity. This UAE-based analysis provides definitive molecular diagnosis for personalised clinical management and family planning.
| Parameter | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% Diagnostic Sensitivity | ~95% (limited to single exon coverage) |
| Method | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Sanger Sequencing |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasise that this genetic test provides definitive molecular diagnosis for trichothiodystrophy, but clinical correlation and genetic counselling are essential. A positive result should be discussed with a multidisciplinary team. Never interpret this report in isolation for treatment decisions.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory & Safety Protocols
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Altered treatment based solely on genetic results may severely impact health. This test is intended for diagnostic and family planning purposes only; therapeutic decisions require specialist consultation.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant individuals without genetic counselling.
- Acute febrile illness.
- Inability to provide informed consent (minors require legal guardian consent per UAE law).
Emergency Red Flags – Seek Immediate Medical Attention If:
- Sudden severe hair loss with fever.
- Rapidly spreading skin infection.
- New neurological symptoms like seizures or loss of coordination.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the GTF2H5 Gene Trichothiodystrophy Genetic Test?
This test sequences the entire coding region of the GTF2H5 gene to identify pathogenic variants linked to trichothiodystrophy, a rare disorder causing brittle hair, photosensitivity, short stature, and possible immunodeficiency. It enables precise diagnosis and family planning.
2. How is the sample collected for this test?
A simple peripheral blood sample, extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot on an FTA card can be used. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service dispatches a certified phlebotomist to your location while maintaining strict cold-chain protocols for sample integrity.
3. Who should consider this genetic test?
Individuals with brittle hair, photosensitivity, short stature, and recurrent infections—especially those with a family history of trichothiodystrophy—should consider testing. Early diagnosis aids in preventing complications and guiding appropriate dermatologic and immunological management.
