Test Overview
The MYH6 gene encodes cardiac alpha‑myosin heavy chain; pathogenic variants cause autosomal dominant atrial septal defect type 3 (ASD3). This comprehensive NGS test sequences all coding exons and flanking intronic regions to identify disease‑causing mutations, guiding personalised cardiac surveillance and family risk assessment.
| Feature | Our Test — NGS + Sanger | Closest Alternative — Targeted Sanger Only |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | NGS (30× mean coverage) with variant confirmation by Sanger sequencing | Sanger sequencing of limited hotspots |
| Analytical Sensitivity | >99.9% for SNVs, indels, and copy number variants (CNVs) | ~95% for common variants; may miss deep‑intronic/CNV changes |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
| Price | 2800 AED | Variable, often >3500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
"A positive MYH6 variant can explain a lifelong atrial septal defect, yet penetrance varies; a negative result does not exclude other genetic or environmental causes. Always integrate this result with echocardiography and cardiology follow‑up. I encourage patients to use this information proactively, not fearfully."
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011, Clinical Cardiologist & Genomics Expert
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Minors without parental consent: UAE Child Protection Law (CDS 2026) requires documented parental/guardian consent for genetic testing in individuals under 18.
- No genetic counselling: All patients must undergo a pre‑test genetic counselling session to document family pedigree and understand implications.
- Acute cardiac emergency: This is an elective genetic test. If you experience sudden chest pain, palpitations, syncope, or severe shortness of breath, call 998 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Medication Warning: Do not discontinue or adjust any prescribed cardiac, anticoagulant, or other medication without consulting your treating physician. Genetic results do not replace ongoing clinical management.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the MYH6 gene and how does it relate to atrial septal defect type 3?
The MYH6 gene codes for cardiac alpha‑myosin heavy chain, and inherited mutations disrupt heart septation leading to ASD3.
١. ما هو جين MYH6 وكيف يرتبط بعيب الحاجز الأذيني النوع الثالث؟
يشفر جين MYH6 السلسلة الثقيلة للميوسين القلبي ألفا، وتؤدي الطفرات الموروثة إلى خلل في تكوين الحاجز الأذيني مسببة النوع الثالث من العيب.
2. Who should consider this genetic test?
Individuals with a personal or family history of atrial septal defect, especially when diagnosed before age 40, should consider testing.
٢. من الذي ينبغي أن يفكر في إجراء هذا الفحص الجيني؟
الأشخاص الذين لديهم تاريخ شخصي أو عائلي لعيب الحاجز الأذيني، خصوصًا إذا تم تشخيصه قبل سن الأربعين، عليهم النظر في إجراء الفحص.
3. How is the performed and what does the process involve?
A certified phlebotomist collects 3‑5 mL of blood at home, then NGS and Sanger confirmation deliver results in 3–4 weeks.
٣. كيف يتم إجراء الفحص وما هي الخطوات المتبعة؟
يقوم أخصائي سحب دم معتمد بجمع ٣-٥ مل من الدم في منزلك، ثم يتم تحليل العينة بتقنية التسلسل الجيني NGS مع تأكيد بطريقة سانجر خلال ٣-٤ أسابيع.
