Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced NGS test sequences the entire SGCD gene coding region and splice sites, including deletion/duplication (CNV) analysis. It is designed for definitive diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy type 1L and for cascade screening in affected families.
| Feature | Our Test | Standard Cardiomyopathy Panel |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | NGS with full SGCD gene sequencing + CNV analysis | NGS panel (50‑100 genes) |
| Turnaround Time | 3‑4 Weeks | 4‑6 Weeks |
| Clinical Focus | Single‑gene deep analysis, ideal for familial variant follow‑up | Broad screening, may miss rare intronic variants |
| Price | 2800 AED | 2500‑3500 AED (varies) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Identifying an SGCD mutation through comprehensive sequencing provides actionable clarity for disease management, cascade family screening, and reproductive planning. Always integrate genetic results with echocardiographic and clinical assessment.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Medication Advisory
Important: Do not stop or alter any prescribed cardiac medication without consulting your treating physician. Genetic test results provide risk information but do not replace ongoing clinical management.
Safety Exclusion & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent; absence of legal guardian consent for minors (per UAE Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability); severe acute illness that precludes safe blood collection.
- Emergency Symptoms (seek immediate medical attention): New‑onset chest pain, syncope, severe breathlessness, or irregular heartbeat. Do not delay emergency care for test scheduling.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the SGCD gene test detect and why is it clinically important?
This test identifies pathogenic variants in the SGCD gene responsible for dilated cardiomyopathy type 1L, enabling definitive diagnosis, tailored cardiac surveillance, and identification of at‑risk family members.
2. How is the sample collected and what preparation is required?
A peripheral blood sample is collected by our VIP mobile phlebotomy service using cold‑chain transport. A mandatory pre‑test genetic counseling session is required to document family history and obtain informed consent. No special dietary preparation is needed.
3. What is the turnaround time and can insurance cover the cost?
Results are delivered within 3‑4 weeks. We provide direct billing verification to most UAE insurers – send your policy details via WhatsApp to +971 54 548 8731 and our team will confirm coverage before collection.
4. What does the post‑test genetic counseling involve?
A DHA‑licensed genetic counselor will discuss your test results, implications for family members, and recommendations for clinical surveillance or reproductive options. This session is included in the test price.
