Test Overview & Methodology
The CDK5RAP2 Genetic Test in the UAE detects disease-causing mutations in the CDK5RAP2 gene responsible for autosomal recessive primary microcephaly type 3. Our NGS-based approach provides full gene coverage with superior diagnostic yield compared to traditional Sanger sequencing.
| Feature | Our CDK5RAP2 NGS Test | Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) โ full gene coverage | Sanger Sequencing โ targeted region only |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 4 to 6 Weeks |
| Diagnostic Yield | >99% for known mutations | Limited to primer-defined exons |
| Price | 2,800 AED | ~2,200 AED (may lack comprehensive analysis) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a Consultant Medical Genetics specialist, I recognize that pursuing genetic testing for a child with microcephaly can be a complex emotional journey for families. This CDK5RAP2 NGS panel offers definitive diagnostic information, yet results must always be integrated with full clinical evaluation and pre-test genetic counseling. Patients and caregivers should never alter or discontinue any prescribed treatment without direct consultation with their managing physician."

Important Advisory
โ ๏ธ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: This test is not intended for children under 3 months without clinical indication of microcephaly; not for asymptomatic adults without a family history of MCPH3; not for non-genetic causes of microcephaly (e.g., congenital infections).
- ER Red Flags: If your child develops new-onset seizures, a sudden drop in head circumference percentile, signs of raised intracranial pressure (vomiting, irritability, bulging fontanelle), or acute respiratory distress, seek emergency medical care immediately.
- Pre-test Requirement: A pre-test genetic counseling session is mandatory to assess family history and obtain informed consent.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CDK5RAP2 gene test for microcephaly type 3?
This NGS-based test analyzes the entire coding region of the CDK5RAP2 gene to detect disease-causing mutations responsible for autosomal recessive primary microcephaly type 3 (MCPH3). The results provide definitive diagnostic information to guide clinical management and family planning decisions.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A standard peripheral blood draw or buccal swab is collected via our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service at your home. The specimen is transported under temperature-controlled cold-chain logistics. Results are delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt at the laboratory.
3. Is this test covered by insurance in the UAE?
Many UAE health insurance plans cover diagnostic genetic testing following pre-authorization. Our team provides direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 to confirm your specific policy coverage.
