Test Overview & Methodology
The MTMR2 Gene CMT4B1 Genetic Test employs advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to comprehensively analyze the MTMR2 gene, ensuring detection of point mutations, small insertions or deletions, and copy number variations. This method offers superior clinical sensitivity compared to traditional Sanger sequencing, enabling precise molecular diagnosis for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B1 and guiding family planning and clinical management.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Full gene sequencing with copy number analysis | Targeted analysis of known mutational hotspots |
| Variant Detection | Greater than 99.9% clinical sensitivity; detects novel and deep intronic variants | Approximately 95% for point mutations; may miss large deletions or duplications |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 4–6 weeks (often requires reflex to NGS) |
| Price | 2800 AED | Variable; often higher when confirmatory testing needed |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403), notes: “Genetic testing for MTMR2 provides critical prognostic information, yet results must be interpreted within the complete clinical picture. Even a negative report does not exclude other neuropathy types, and a positive finding should always guide genetic counseling and personalized surveillance. I strongly advise reviewing your results with your neurologist to determine the right management pathway.”
Advisory: Medication and Lifestyle Precautions
Important Guidance for Test Preparation
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without prior consultation with your treating physician. Fasting is not required for this genetic test; however, a pre-test genetic counseling session is mandatory under UAE law. Ensure you share your full medical history and family pedigree with the genetic counselor to optimize result interpretation.
Exclusion Criteria and Red Flags
Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Seek immediate emergency care if you develop sudden muscle weakness, respiratory distress, severe numbness, or loss of bladder control.
- Elective genetic testing should be postponed in patients who are haemodynamically unstable or have an active severe infection.
- This assay is not intended for pre‑implantation genetic diagnosis without additional specialised reproductive counselling.
- Pre‑test genetic counselling and signed informed consent are mandatory under Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability and UAE health authority guidelines.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the MTMR2 CMT4B1 Genetic Test?
This test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing to analyze the entire MTMR2 gene for mutations causing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B1, a progressive nerve disorder.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
A genetic counseling session is required to draw a family pedigree and understand the implications; no fasting is needed, and sample collection via blood or buccal swab is simple and convenient.
3. How long do results take and what happens after?
Results are available in 3–4 weeks; telephonic post-test clinical guidance will explain the findings and recommend follow-up with your neurologist for personalised management.
