Test Overview & Methodology
The TSFM Gene NGS test sequences the entire coding region of TSFM to diagnose Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 3 (COXPD3), a rare mitochondrial disorder presenting with severe encephalopathy, cardiomyopathy, and lactic acidosis. Next-generation sequencing provides comprehensive coverage of all exons and flanking intronic regions, delivering superior diagnostic yield compared to conventional Sanger sequencing.

| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | 4โ6 Weeks |
| Diagnostic Yield | >99% for Pathogenic Variants | ~90% (may miss deep intronic changes) |
| Price (AED) | 2,800 | ~3,500 |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โGenetic testing for mitochondrial disorders such as COXPD3 demands both analytical precision and compassionate interpretation. This NGS assay delivers robust, reproducible data, but every result must be contextualised within the full clinical picture, family pedigree, and ongoing specialist management. Our team is committed to supporting families through every stage of this diagnostic journey.โ

- ER Red Flags: If you or your child develops sudden seizures, difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, or loss of consciousness, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the TSFM gene test and how does it diagnose COXPD3?
The TSFM gene test uses next-generation sequencing to detect pathogenic mutations in the TSFM gene, confirming Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 3 with >99% sensitivity. The test covers all coding exons and flanking intronic regions to identify both common and rare variants.
2. Is home blood collection available for this test in the UAE?
Yes. A certified phlebotomist will visit your home between 8 AM and 11 PM, seven days a week, using ISO-compliant cold-chain logistics to transport the specimen securely to our laboratory in Dubai Healthcare City.
3. How long does it take to receive results and how will I get them?
Results are delivered securely within 3 to 4 weeks via encrypted email, followed by a telephonic clinical interpretation session with our consultant medical geneticist.
4. What does the 2,800 AED fee include?
The fee covers the full NGS sequencing analysis, bioinformatic interpretation, a detailed clinical report, one post-test telephonic counselling session, and all logistics for home blood collection within the UAE.
