Test Overview & Methodology
This Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region of the CALM2 gene to detect pathogenic variants causing Long QT syndrome type 15, a hereditary cardiac channelopathy associated with sudden cardiac death. The assay is performed under ISO 9001:2015 standards and is the most comprehensive genetic screening available in the UAE.
| Feature | Our CALM2 NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene sequencing with high sensitivity for all variant types | Targeted analysis of known variants only, may miss novel mutations |
| Speed | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
| Compliance | UAE DHA/MOHAP Approved, ISO 9001:2015 | May lack UAE regulatory certification |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that genetic testing for Long QT syndrome must be interpreted alongside clinical findings, electrocardiograms, and family history. A positive CALM2 variant confirms the diagnosis, but a negative result does not exclude the condition. Please do not discontinue prescribed beta‑blockers or lifestyle modifications without consulting your doctor.” — Consultant Medical Genetics Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, DHA License 9294403.
Advisory Pre-Test Guidance
- Informed Consent: Minors require written informed consent from a legal guardian as per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Pre-Test Counseling: A mandatory genetic counseling session is required to review personal and family cardiac history.
- Medication Continuation: Continue all prescribed medications including beta‑blockers unless specifically instructed by your physician.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Patients with active febrile illness or hemodynamic instability should postpone non‑urgent genetic testing.
- Emergency: If you experience unexplained fainting, seizures, or palpitations with chest pain, call 998 immediately and seek emergency care; genetic testing is not a substitute for urgent cardiac evaluation.
- Data privacy is guaranteed under UAE PDPL; all samples and reports comply with UAE healthcare data sovereignty laws (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 Concerning the Use of Information and Communication Technology in Health Fields).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the CALM2 gene test for Long QT syndrome?
This CALM2 gene test detects mutations causing Long QT syndrome type 15 to guide therapy. The test identifies pathogenic DNA variants that increase the risk of dangerous heart rhythms. A positive result allows your cardiologist to personalize medication, consider an implantable cardioverter‑defibrillator, and screen at‑risk family members.
2. How is the sample collected and what are the pre‑test requirements?
Your sample (blood or DNA FTA card) requires genetic counseling to ensure accurate CALM2 analysis. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy team arrives with cold‑chain transport for a small blood draw, or we provide an FTA card for at‑home sampling. A pre‑genetic counseling session is mandatory to review your personal and family cardiac history and to draw a pedigree chart. Please continue all prescribed medications unless told otherwise by your doctor.
3. What are the turnaround time and result delivery process?
CALM2 gene reports finalized in 3–4 weeks, delivering secure access and a specialist interpretation call. Once sequencing is complete, your confidential results are uploaded to an encrypted online portal. You receive a telephonic appointment with a cardiac genetic specialist who explains the findings and their clinical implications for you and your family. Urgent results can be escalated for faster reporting after consulting your physician.
