Test Overview
This advanced Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyses the FAT4 gene for pathogenic variants causing Hennekam lymphangiectasia‑lymphedema syndrome type 2, a rare dysmorphology disorder typically managed by Pediatricians, Neonatologists, and Medical & PhD Researchers. يُستخدم الفحص لتأكيد التشخيص الجيني وتوجيه الإدارة السريرية.
Pre‑Test Requirements
Clinical History & Genetic Counselling: A detailed clinical history of the patient must be provided. A genetic counselling session to construct a pedigree chart of family members affected by FAT4‑related Hennekam syndrome is mandatory before sample collection.
Sample Type: Whole Blood, Extracted DNA, or One Drop Blood on FTA Card. No special dietary or medication restrictions; however, recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks) should be disclosed.
| Feature | Our Test | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99.9 % Sensitivity | ~99.0 % |
| Methodology | NGS (Illumina Platform) | Sanger Sequencing |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a pediatrician, I emphasize that a positive FAT4 variant must be correlated with clinical findings and comprehensive family history. This test is a powerful tool, but it is not a standalone diagnosis – a multidisciplinary approach with a clinical geneticist is essential for accurate prognosis and management.” — Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA: 61713011)
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This genetic test does not replace ongoing clinical care.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Acute illness or infection: Postpone testing until full recovery.
- Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks): May interfere with germline DNA.
- Known allergy to phlebotomy materials: Inform the phlebotomist prior to collection.
- Severe respiratory distress or cardiac instability: Seek emergency medical attention; home collection is not indicated.
- Age < 1 month: Neonatal screening requires specialized NICU collection under medical supervision.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What is the FAT4 gene and how does it relate to Hennekam syndrome type 2?
The FAT4 gene provides instructions for a protein that regulates cell signalling and tissue development; specific pathogenic variants disrupt lymphatic vessel formation, leading to lymphedema, lymphangiectasia, facial dysmorphism, and often intellectual disability. يعمل جين FAT4 على تنظيم نمو الأوعية اللمفاوية، والطفرات المرضية فيه تسبب المتلازمة المذكورة.
How accurate is this NGS for detecting FAT4 mutations?
Our NGS assay demonstrates >99.9 % analytical sensitivity for single nucleotide variants and small insertions/deletions in FAT4 coding regions, validated under ISO 9001:2015 standards for clinical genetic diagnostics. حساسية الاختبار التحليلية تتجاوز 99.9% وفق معايير ISO 9001:2015.
What is the process for home sample collection in the UAE?
A DHA‑licensed mobile phlebotomist arrives at your residence between 8 AM and 11 PM with certified cold‑chain equipment; a small blood sample (venous or FTA card) is collected, then transported directly to our ISO‑certified laboratory for immediate NGS processing. تتم خدمة السحب المنزلي عبر ممرض مرخص من هيئة الصحة، مع سلسلة تبريد متكاملة، ونقل فوري للمختبر.
