Test Overview & Methodology
The PSEN2 gene test identifies pathogenic variants causing dilated cardiomyopathy type 1V, a hereditary heart muscle disease. Early detection enables life-saving surveillance and family cascade screening. Our Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platform delivers full gene coverage with unmatched sensitivity.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for all exonic variants | ~90% for targeted hotspots only |
| Method | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) with full gene coverage | Capillary electrophoresis, single exon focus |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
| Sample Types | Whole Blood, Extracted DNA, or dried blood spot on FTA Card | Whole Blood only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"This genetic test uncovers hidden risks for familial dilated cardiomyopathy, but a positive result must be interpreted within the full clinical picture. I advise all my patients to discuss findings with a genetic counsellor and never make medication changes based solely on a lab report." — Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory
Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed cardiac or other medications without consulting your physician. Genetic results do not replace clinical management.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not for patients with acute decompensated heart failure or recent myocardial infarction.
- Requires informed consent and pre‑test genetic counselling for minors (per UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2019).
- Seek immediate emergency care if you experience: sudden chest pain, syncope, severe shortness of breath, or palpitations—these may indicate underlying cardiomyopathy requiring urgent medical attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the PSEN2 genetic test for diagnosing cardiomyopathy?
Our NGS achieves >99.9% analytical sensitivity and specificity for PSEN2 gene mutations, making it the gold standard for hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy detection. However, clinical diagnosis requires integration of family history, imaging, and cardiologist interpretation.
2. What sample is needed and is home collection available in the UAE?
We accept whole blood, extracted DNA, or a simple finger-prick blood spot on an FTA Card. Our DHA-certified phlebotomists arrive at your home across all Emirates within 60 minutes via VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. Cold-chain logistics preserve sample integrity until ISO-15189 lab processing.
3. How long do results take and does the report include genetic counselling?
Results are available within 3–4 weeks. The report includes clinical interpretation by a Consultant Medical Geneticist, and a telephonic post-test session is provided to explain findings and recommend next steps. Pre-test genetic counselling is recommended to map family history and assess risk.
