Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced next‑generation sequencing (NGS) test screens the entire coding region of the MYL3 gene for pathogenic variants linked to familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 8 – enabling early risk stratification, personalised treatment, and cascade family screening.
| Feature | Our NGS MYL3 Test | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity for single‑nucleotide variants & small indels | 99.0% – limited for mosaic variants |
| Method | Illumina‑based NGS with full gene coverage (coding + splice sites) | Capillary electrophoresis, single‑exon targeting |
| Turnaround | 3‑4 weeks (comprehensive bioinformatics) | 6‑8 weeks (multiple reactions) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant in medical genetics, I emphasise that a negative MYL3 result does not exclude hereditary heart disease, and a positive variant must be correlated with comprehensive cardiac imaging and family history. Genomic consultation prior to lifestyle or therapeutic changes is essential.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory Notice
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed cardiac medication or supplement without first consulting your doctor. Genetic results are for risk guidance and should never replace clinical judgment.
Patient Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria (Do Not Proceed with Home Draw):
- Inability to provide valid informed consent.
- No prior genetic counselling session completed.
- Recent blood transfusion (<3 months) that may confound germline DNA.
- Active febrile illness or unstable clinical status.
Seek Immediate Emergency Care if You Experience:
- Sudden crushing chest pain / tightness.
- Unexplained fainting (syncope) or near‑syncope.
- Severe shortness of breath at rest.
- Irregular heartbeat with dizziness.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does MYL3 gene testing detect?
MYL3 NGS detects pathogenic variants in the MYL3 gene causing familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 8. The test identifies single‑nucleotide mutations and small insertions/deletions that alter the essential myosin light chain protein, allowing targeted cardiac surveillance for affected families.
2. Is a blood draw the only acceptable sample?
We accept whole blood, extracted DNA, and a single drop of blood on a DNA FTA card. The FTA card preserves genomic DNA at room temperature, enabling easier home self‑collection for patients who cannot provide a tube draw. All sample types yield identical diagnostic quality.
3. How long until results are available, and what is the cost?
Results are delivered within 3‑4 weeks with a test price of 2,800 AED inclusive of counselling. The turnaround includes DNA extraction, library preparation, sequencing, and a thorough bioinformatics analysis followed by a board‑certified geneticist’s interpretation. Direct billing to insurance is verified via WhatsApp before booking.
