Test Overview & Methodology
This single-gene NGS test targets the ARHGAP31 gene, mutations of which cause Adams-Oliver syndrome type 1 (AOS1) โ a rare disorder characterized by aplasia cutis congenita (scalp defect) and terminal transverse limb anomalies. In the UAE, our DHA-licensed facility (Facility License: 1143) provides full gene sequencing with a turnaround time of 3 to 4 weeks at 2800 AED, using only ISO 9001:2015-validated protocols and genetic counselling support.
| Feature | Our Test (DNA Labs UAE) | Closest Alternative (Single Gene Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | NGS with >99.9% analytical sensitivity for ARHGAP31 | Sanger sequencing; may miss large deletions/duplications |
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), full gene coverage including deep intronic regions | Conventional capillary sequencing; limited variant detection |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 weeks | 4โ6 weeks; often requires multiple rounds |
| UAE Regulatory Registration | DHA-approved, ISO 9001:2015, Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 compliant | Often not locally accredited |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh | Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403: โGenetic confirmation of ARHGAP31 mutations is critical for accurate diagnosis of Adams-Oliver syndrome type 1, yet the results must always be correlated with clinical findings. Families should understand that a positive result explains the cause but does not replace multidisciplinary care. I strongly advise patients to consult their treating dermatologist or clinical geneticist to integrate molecular data into a personalised care plan.โ
Medication Advisory Notice
Important: Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medications based on genetic test results without explicit direction from your managing physician. Genetic findings provide diagnostic clarity but do not replace clinical medication management protocols.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Clinical Red Flags
- Exclusion: This genetic test is intended for diagnostic confirmation and is not a substitute for a complete clinical evaluation. For minors (<18 years), valid legal guardian consent is mandatory under Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Exclusion: Do not provide a blood sample if you have an active infection at the collection site or a known bleeding disorder without prior medical clearance.
- Red Flag: If you experience severe anxiety, syncope, or an allergic reaction during the home collection procedure, call 998 for emergency medical assistance immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the ARHGAP31 gene test for Adams-Oliver syndrome type 1?
This test sequences the ARHGAP31 gene to confirm a clinical diagnosis of Adams-Oliver syndrome type 1, which causes characteristic scalp defects and limb anomalies. It uses next-generation sequencing to detect point mutations, small insertions/deletions, and copy number variants, providing a definitive molecular answer when performed on blood, extracted DNA, or a single drop on an FTA card.
2. How long does the test take and what is the price?
The turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt, and the comprehensive NGS test costs 2800 AED, inclusive of home collection. This fee covers pre-test genetic counselling, sequencing of the entire ARHGAP31 coding region, and a post-test consultation to discuss results.
3. Is this covered by insurance in the UAE?
We offer direct billing verification through WhatsApp; many UAE insurers cover genetic testing for Adams-Oliver syndrome when medically indicated by a dermatologist or clinical geneticist. Simply send your Emirates ID and insurance card copy to +971 54 548 8731, and our team will confirm coverage within one hour.
