Overview
The AGK gene next‑generation sequencing test analyzes the acylglycerol kinase gene for pathogenic variants causing Sengers syndrome, a rare mitochondrial disorder characterised by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital cataracts, and mitochondrial myopathy. Before testing, a compulsory genetic counselling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members, ensuring accurate interpretation. يُستخدم هذا التحليل الجيني لتأكيد التشخيص وتقييم المخاطر العائلية بدقة عالية.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
"As a consultant cardiologist, I emphasise that this genetic test is a critical piece in the diagnostic puzzle for Sengers syndrome, but results must be interpreted alongside thorough clinical evaluation and family history. I always counsel patients that a positive mutation confirms the diagnosis and guides family screening, while a negative result does not exclude the syndrome if clinical suspicion remains high." — Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011.
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Active acute infection or fever (postpone collection).
- Inability to provide informed consent (legal guardian required for minors per UAE CDS Law 2026).
- Severe haemodynamic instability requiring immediate emergency care.
- Contraindication to venipuncture: severe coagulopathy without medical clearance.
- Test not indicated for asymptomatic individuals without family history of Sengers syndrome or clinical cardiomyopathy — consult genetic counsellor first.
If the patient experiences: chest pain, syncope, severe shortness of breath, or palpitations before/after sample collection, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What is the purpose of the AGK gene NGS test?
This sequences the entire AGK gene to detect pathogenic variants causing Sengers syndrome, enabling precise molecular diagnosis and family risk assessment. يحدد هذا التحليل الطفرات المسببة لمتلازمة سينغرز لتأكيد التشخيص وتوجيه الاستشارة الوراثية.
How is the sample collected and what are the requirements?
We offer a hospital‑grade home collection service using a cold‑chain kit; a small blood sample (or buccal swab/FTA card) is collected by a licensed phlebotomist between 8 AM and 11 PM. يتم جمع عينة دم صغيرة في المنزل بواسطة ممرض مرخص مع الحفاظ على سلسلة التبريد، ولا يتطلب صيامًا.
What do the results mean for my family?
A positive result confirms Sengers syndrome in the proband and allows cascade testing for at‑risk relatives; genetic counselling is mandatory to interpret inheritance patterns. النتيجة الإيجابية تؤكد المتلازمة وتتيح فحص الأقارب، مع جلسة استشارة وراثية إلزامية لتفسير النتائج.
