Test Overview
This next‑generation sequencing test scrutinizes the entire coding region of the VDAC1 gene to detect pathogenic variants underlying mitochondrial encephalopathy. يُجري الاختبار تحليلاً شاملاً لجين VDAC1 باستخدام أحدث تقنيات التسلسل الجيني لتشخيص اعتلال الدماغ الميتوكوندري بدقة عالية.
The test is essential for patients presenting with unexplained neurological regression, seizures, or multisystem mitochondrial symptoms, and for at‑risk family members.
| Feature | Our VDAC1 NGS Test | Whole Exome Sequencing (Closest Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 100% targeted coverage of VDAC1 exons with >1000× depth | Genome‑wide coverage; VDAC1 may have lower average depth (∼100×) |
| Method | NGS (Illumina® platform) with Sanger confirmation of all variants | NGS + optional Sanger validation (extra cost) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks typical |
| Cost | 2800 AED | 4500–6000 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
"As a consultant neurologist, I emphasise that a positive VDAC1 variant must be correlated with detailed clinical phenotyping and family segregation studies. This test is not a substitute for a comprehensive neurological workup."
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed anticonvulsants, mitochondrial supplements, or other medications without explicit instruction from your treating physician.
Exclusion Criteria for Home Collection
- Patient is haemodynamically unstable (systolic BP < 90 mmHg, heart rate > 120 bpm).
- Active seizure within the past 30 minutes.
- Known bleeding diathesis or platelet count < 50,000/µL.
Emergency Red Flags – seek immediate medical attention if:
- New‑onset loss of consciousness or prolonged seizure (>5 min).
- Sudden respiratory distress or cyanosis.
- Suspected stroke‑like episode with focal neurological deficit.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the VDAC1 NGS test detect?
يكشف الاختبار الطفرات المسببة للأمراض في جين VDAC1 المرتبط باعتلال الدماغ الميتوكوندري ومشاكل الطاقة الخلوية.
The test identifies single nucleotide variants and small insertions/deletions throughout the VDAC1 gene that are known to impair mitochondrial pore function, leading to encephalopathy. A negative result does not exclude mitochondrial disease due to other genes.
2. How is the sample collected and what do I need to prepare?
تُسحب عينة الدم الوريدي أو يمكن استخدام بطاقة FTA بقطرة دم واحدة، ويجب تقديم تاريخ سريري كامل.
A certified phlebotomist will collect 3–5 mL of whole blood in an EDTA tube, or you may provide a dried blood spot (FTA card) after genetic counselling. Pre‑test requirement: A mandatory genetic counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members. You must also share a detailed clinical history, including neurological symptoms, onset age, and previous test results.
3. How accurate and reliable is this under UAE regulations?
تبلغ حساسية الاختبار 99.9% تحت إشراف معايير الآيزو ومراقبة هيئة الصحة بدبي الصارمة لضمان النتائج الدقيقة.
The platform holds ISO 9001:2015 accreditation and operates in compliance with Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87) for medical advertising, the CDS Law 2026 for minors’ genetic testing, and UAE PDPL for data privacy. All reports are reviewed by licensed neurologists and molecular pathologists before release.
