Test Overview & Methodology
This next-generation sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region of the CDON gene to detect pathogenic variants causing Holoprosencephaly type 11 (HPE11), a severe brain and facial malformation disorder.
| Feature | Our Test (HPE11 NGS) | Closest Alternative (Whole Exome) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Single‑gene deep coverage (100% CDON) | Broad but shallow; may miss deep intronic variants |
| Methodology | HiSeq NGS with Sanger confirmation | Whole‑exome capture + NGS |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–10 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that a positive CDON result must be correlated with fetal MRI and clinical dysmorphology findings. This test is a powerful tool, but it is a piece of a larger diagnostic puzzle—never a standalone verdict." – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Medication Advisory
⚠️ Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or alter your child’s treatment plan based on this test result without prior consultation with your attending physician.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Neonates with hemodynamic instability or active sepsis should not undergo elective home phlebotomy.
- This test is NOT intended for standalone prenatal diagnosis in ongoing pregnancies; always pair with amniocentesis/CVS under specialist guidance.
- If the patient exhibits new‑onset seizures, apneic spells, or signs of increased intracranial pressure before collection, proceed to the nearest emergency department and reschedule sample draw.
- Adults with bleeding diathesis or those on anticoagulants must inform the phlebotomist; an FTA card (dried blood spot) option is available on request.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How long does the CDON gene test take and when will pediatricians receive the full report?
The complete NGS report, including variant interpretation by a clinical geneticist, is delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from sample accession.
2. Is a blood draw mandatory or can we use a buccal swab or dried blood spot?
Our laboratory accepts whole blood (2–5 mL in EDTA tube), previously extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot on an FTA card for convenient home collection.
3. Will my insurance cover this, and how do I obtain pre‑approval?
We provide direct billing verification; send your insurance card copy via WhatsApp to +971 54 548 8731 and our team will confirm coverage within 2 hours.
