G6PD gene mutation

Home G6PD gene mutation testing detects pathogenic variants in the G6PD gene from a buccal swab or dried blood spot to determine enzyme deficiency or carrier status, complementing enzyme activity tests where needed. This information is clinically important because G6PD deficiency is X‑linked and can cause neonatal jaundice and acute haemolytic episodes when exposed to triggers (certain antibiotics, antimalarials, or fava beans), so knowing genetic status helps guide safe prescribing and newborn care. The service is available across Dubai and the UAE as a lab‑at‑home option with clear reporting and referral for genetic counselling, making it suitable for newborn screening, relatives of affected individuals, women planning pregnancy, or patients who may need oxidative medications.
