Test Overview & Methodology
The BRAF Gene Noonan Syndrome Type 7 NGS Test identifies pathogenic variants in the BRAF gene, which are causative for Noonan syndrome type 7 – a multisystem disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, congenital heart defects, and developmental delay. Our next‑generation sequencing assay provides comprehensive coverage of the BRAF coding region from blood, extracted DNA, or FTA card samples, enabling definitive molecular diagnosis and informed family planning.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Sanger Sequencing (Alternate) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (high‑throughput, full gene coverage) | Single‑gene bidirectional Sanger sequencing |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
| Variant Detection | SNVs, small indels, copy number variants (with MLPA add‑on if needed) | SNVs and small indels only; CNVs missed |
| Sample Types | Blood, Extracted DNA, FTA Card | Blood only (higher volume) |
| Price (AED) | 2,800 | ~4,500 |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“A BRAF gene test provides critical molecular evidence for Noonan syndrome type 7, yet isolated genomic data should never replace comprehensive clinical assessment. I correlate every variant report with dysmorphology evaluation, echocardiographic findings, and coagulation studies to ensure accurate interpretation and avoid false reassurance. A holistic, multidisciplinary approach remains the gold standard for children with suspected Noonan syndrome.”

Medication & Clinical Safety Advisory
⚠ Important Precautions
Do not discontinue any prescribed medications (e.g., growth hormone, cardiac drugs, anticoagulants) before or after testing without explicit consultation with your managing physician. This genetic test does not replace ongoing cardiology, hematology, or developmental monitoring.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria
- Unidentified sample, gross hemolysis, sample collected in wrong tube, or patient under 28 days without neonatologist approval.
Emergency Red Flags (seek immediate care)
- New onset severe cyanosis, syncope, bleeding diathesis (easy bruising, mucosal bleeding), or acute neurological changes – these may indicate evolving complications of Noonan syndrome and require urgent cardiology/hematology evaluation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the diagnostic accuracy of this BRAF Noonan syndrome test?
This NGS assay achieves >99.9% analytical sensitivity and specificity for BRAF coding variants, confirmed by orthogonal confirmation of pathogenic findings. Clinical sensitivity for Noonan syndrome type 7 is near 100% when typical features are present.
2. How should I prepare my child for the blood draw or FTA card collection?
No fasting or medication changes are required. Ensure the child is well‑hydrated and calm. Our paediatric‑trained phlebotomist will use a butterfly needle for minimal discomfort. The FTA card option requires only a finger‑prick drop.
3. Will my insurance cover this test?
We offer direct billing verification with most UAE insurers. Please contact us on WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 to confirm coverage before scheduling.
4. What happens after the test result is ready?
A DHA‑licensed consultant medical geneticist will contact you to explain the results, discuss implications for family members, and coordinate any necessary referrals to paediatric cardiology, endocrinology, or hematology.
