Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA-licensed specialist, I recognise that a positive SOST result can be emotionally overwhelming; this test is a powerful tool when interpreted in the context of your complete clinical picture. Every result must be reviewed alongside a genetic counselor and your treating orthopaedic team, because even a clear mutation does not automatically dictate the disease severity or the timing of interventions.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License No. 61713011
⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medication or delay surgical consultation solely based on a positive genetic result. Never adjust calcium/vitamin D intake without your doctor’s explicit supervision.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Sample Exclusion: Degraded DNA extracted from non‑standard sources; whole blood collected in expired tube; sample received >72 hours post-collection without proper cold chain.
- Clinical Exclusion: This test is not a screening tool for asymptomatic individuals with no family history of sclerosing bone dysplasia. A pre‑test genetic counselling session (pedigree chart) is mandatory under UAE CDS Law 2026 for minors.
- Emergency Red Flags: While awaiting results, if you develop new‑onset hearing loss, facial numbness, severe headaches, or vision disturbances, seek immediate ER evaluation—these may indicate cranial nerve compression from bone overgrowth, not a lab complication.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why is full SOST gene sequencing better than a single‑variant test for Van Buchem disease?
It detects all clinically relevant point mutations, indels, and copy number variations across the entire SOST gene with 99.9% sensitivity—leaving no common variant undetected—while targeted tests may miss family‑specific mutations.
يكتشف جميع الطفرات والتغيرات الجينية الجوهرية في كامل جين SOST بدقة 99.9%، مما يتجنب التشخيص الخاطئ الناتج عن الاختبارات المحدودة.
2. Can I use my insurance to cover the 2800 AED cost?
Most UAE insurers cover medically necessary genetic testing with prior approval; submit your DHA referral and pedigree chart to our billing team via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 for direct verification of your plan’s benefits before the blood draw.
يمكن تغطية الفحص عبر التأمين بعد الحصول على الموافقة المسبقة من شركة التأمين؛ فريقنا يتحقق مباشرة من خطتك عند إرسال المستندات المطلوبة عبر الواتساب.
3. How is the sample collected for a child, and what preparation is needed?
A pediatric‑trained phlebotomist collects a single blood drop on an FTA card or a small venous sample at your home; the child must be accompanied by a legal guardian who provides written consent and a completed pedigree chart during the mandatory pre‑ genetic counselling session.
