Test Overview & Methodology
Comprehensive IFNGR1 Gene Analysis: Bridging Precision & Immunology
This test employs high-coverage Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to interrogate all coding exons and flanking intronic regions of the IFNGR1 gene. The assay also includes robust Copy Number Variation (CNV) detection algorithms, ensuring complete molecular characterization of this critical immune pathway. Confirmatory Sanger sequencing is performed for all reported pathogenic variants prior to clinical sign-off.
| Parameter | Our IFNGR1 NGS Test | Standard Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Full gene NGS with CNV detection | Targeted mutation analysis / Sanger sequencing of select exons |
| Coverage | Complete coding region ±20 bp intronic boundaries | Limited to known hotspot variants only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–8 Weeks (variable) |
| Price | 2,800 AED all‑inclusive | May require separate sequencing + interpretation fees |
| Clinical Support | Post-test genetic counselling & insurance verification | Often report-only without dedicated counselling |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Targeted genetic testing for IFNGR1 defects is essential for confirming MSMD and differentiating it from other primary immunodeficiencies. A definitive molecular diagnosis enables tailored prophylactic antimicrobial therapy, informed decisions regarding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and precise recurrence risk counselling for affected families. Results must be interpreted within the full clinical context and immunological phenotype.”

⚠ Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Allogeneic bone marrow transplant within the last 6 weeks (donor DNA may confound results).
- Unconsentable minors without a legal guardian present (as stipulated by Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability).
- Active severe sepsis, high‑grade fever with haemodynamic instability, or acute respiratory distress – seek emergency medical care immediately; do not rely on this test for acute management.
- Known allergy to phlebotomy materials or severe bleeding diathesis without prior medical clearance.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the IFNGR1 genetic test detect and why is it needed?
This high-resolution NGS test identifies disease-causing mutations in the IFNGR1 gene, which are responsible for severe, familial atypical mycobacterial infections. Using a single peripheral blood sample, it confirms the molecular diagnosis of Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), enabling precise genetic counselling, prophylactic antimicrobial planning, and risk assessment for at-risk family members. The assay delivers a definitive result that guides long-term immunology management.
2. How long do results take, and what is the cost in the UAE?
Results are delivered within 3 to 4 weeks at a total cost of 2,800 AED, inclusive of clinical consultation and home phlebotomy. The price covers sample collection, express cold‑chain logistics, library preparation, ISO‑certified NGS sequencing, advanced bioinformatic analysis, and a formally signed clinical report. This turnaround time complies with DHA standards for non‑urgent genetic screening, with expedited reporting available upon clinical justification.
3. Is this test covered by insurance, and how can I book an appointment?
Most UAE health insurance plans provide coverage for genetic testing following pre-approval. For direct billing verification, contact our dedicated insurance desk via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. To book, simply send your Emirates ID and insurance card details via WhatsApp. A DHA-licensed phlebotomist will arrange a VIP home visit at your preferred time within our daily 8 AM to 11 PM operational window.
