Test Overview & Methodology

This genetic test employs Next Generation Sequencing to analyze the complete coding region and splice sites of the PDSS2 gene, detecting pathogenic variants responsible for primary Coenzyme Q10 deficiency type 3, a rare autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorder. Accurate molecular diagnosis enables targeted high-dose CoQ10 supplementation and specialized multidisciplinary neurological management.

Comparative Advantage

Feature	Our PDSS2 NGS Test	Closest Alternative (Single-Gene Sanger)
Method	Next Generation Sequencing (full coding + splice sites)	Sanger sequencing of selected exons only
Detection Range	SNVs, small indels, exonic copy number variations	Limited to known mutations; may miss deep intronic variants
Turnaround Time	3–4 Weeks	6–8 Weeks
Price	2,800 AED	Varies (often higher due to sequential testing)
Pre-Test Support	Genetic counselling session + pedigree chart included	Often not bundled

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“I always remind families that a genetic result is a piece of a puzzle. Even with a clear PDSS2 variant, we must correlate with muscle CoQ10 levels, neurological exam, and metabolic workup. The diagnosis opens the door to life-changing CoQ10 supplementation, but treatment is multidisciplinary. Please never self-diagnose or stop prescribed medications without your physician’s approval.” — Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403.

⚠️ Medication Advisory

Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or supplement without consulting your treating neurologist or metabolic specialist.

Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

Pregnant individuals must have a dedicated genetic counselling session before sample collection.
Minors require documented parental/guardian consent as per UAE Child Protection Law.
Seek immediate emergency care if you experience: unexplained seizures, acute muscle weakness, breathing difficulties, or sudden loss of consciousness — these may indicate metabolic decompensation.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. What does a positive PDSS2 gene variant mean for my health?

A positive PDSS2 variant confirms primary Coenzyme Q10 deficiency type 3, guiding high-dose CoQ10 therapy to slow disease progression. Your neurologist will combine this result with biochemical tests to tailor a treatment plan that may stabilize ataxia and muscle weakness.

2. How is the sample collected and how long until I receive results?

A certified phlebotomist collects a small blood sample from your arm via our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature-Controlled Cold-Chain Home Collection service, with results delivered within 3–4 weeks (21–28 calendar days).

3. Is this test covered by medical insurance in the UAE?

Many UAE insurers reimburse this test when ordered by a neurologist with documented clinical necessity. We verify your coverage directly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
