Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test screens the entire coding region of the FGFR2 gene to detect pathogenic variants causing Lacrimo-Auriculo-Dento-Digital (LADD) syndrome, a rare dysmorphology disorder. Leveraging ISO-certified workflows and DHA-compliant genetic counseling, it delivers definitive molecular diagnosis for pediatric and familial cases.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99.9% sensitivity, full gene coverage | ~95% sensitivity, target region only |
| Methodology | Next-Generation Sequencing (Illumina platform) | Capillary electrophoresis single-region |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 6 to 8 Weeks |
| Sample Type | Whole Blood, Extracted DNA, Dried Blood Spot (FTA Card) | Whole Blood only |
| Accreditation | ISO 9001:2015, DHA Licensed (Facility 1143) | May lack UAE regulatory alignment |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that this FGFR2 gene test is a powerful tool for confirming LADD syndrome when combined with detailed clinical evaluation and family history. A positive result confirms the diagnosis, but a negative result does not exclude other genetic aetiologiesโclinical correlation remains essential.โ

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication based solely on genetic test results. Always consult your treating physician.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Inability to provide informed consent in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability (mandatory genetic counseling for minors).
- Exclusion: Acute febrile illness or severe coagulopathy compromising blood draw safety.
- ER Red Flag: Prolonged bleeding, hematoma, or signs of infection at venipuncture site after home collection โ contact our helpline or visit nearest ER.
- ER Red Flag: Sudden worsening of congenital anomalies in a child diagnosed with LADD syndrome โ seek immediate pediatric emergency care.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the FGFR2 gene NGS test detect and how accurate is it?
Our NGS test sequences the entire FGFR2 coding region with >99.9% analytical sensitivity, detecting even rare missense, nonsense, and splice-site variants causative for LADD syndrome, offering a definitive molecular diagnosis unmatched by older methods.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the process for home collection in Dubai?
A DHA-licensed phlebotomist visits your residence between 8 AM and 11 PM, collects a small blood sample using cold-chain transport compliance, and ensures the sample reaches our ISO lab within 2 hours for immediate processing. VIP Mobile Phlebotomy is available daily.
3. Will my health insurance cover this genetic test and how do I confirm?
Many UAE insurers cover medically necessary FGFR2 gene testing for suspected LADD syndrome; we provide direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731, confirming eligibility before your appointment.
