Test Overview & Methodology
The MYO1E Gene FSGS6 DNA Test utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze the entire coding region, splice sites, and intronic boundaries of the MYO1E gene. This monogenic test is designed to confirm a diagnosis of autosomal recessive focal segmental glomerulosclerosis type 6 (FSGS6) and guide family cascade screening. All procedures follow strict DHA regulations, with results delivered within 3 to 4 weeks following mandatory genetic counselling.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS Gold Standard) | Closest Alternative (Single‑Gene Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Full MYO1E gene sequencing by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Targeted Sanger sequencing of selected exons |
| Variant Detection | Comprehensive – covers all coding regions, splice sites, and deep intronic mutations | Limited to known hotspots; may miss novel or deep intronic variants |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
| Pre‑Test Requirement | In‑person genetic counselling and pedigree chart (mandatory) | Often optional; less structured consent process |
| Price (UAE) | 2,800 AED | 2,500–3,200 AED (variable) |

Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion: Patients unable to provide informed consent or those requiring emergency dialysis; minors must have legal guardian consent in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Red Flags: Seek immediate hospital care if you experience sudden severe flank pain, complete cessation of urination, or hypertensive crisis (blood pressure >180/120 mmHg).
- Pre‑Test Requirement: A mandatory genetic counselling session is conducted to draw a detailed pedigree chart and discuss implications. This is a DHA-mandated step prior to sample collection.
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the MYO1E gene test detect?
This DNA test identifies pathogenic mutations in the MYO1E gene responsible for autosomal recessive focal segmental glomerulosclerosis type 6, helping confirm the diagnosis and guide family screening.
2. How long does it take to receive results?
Results are typically reported within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt, including a post‑clinical guidance call from our senior medical team.
3. Is home blood collection available in Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes, our ISO-certified phlebotomy team offers hospital-grade home collection across all emirates from 8 AM to 11 PM, with cold-chain transport ensuring sample integrity.
4. What is the role of genetic counselling before the test?
Genetic counselling is mandatory and includes drawing a three-generation pedigree, discussing inheritance patterns, potential implications for family members, and obtaining informed consent as per UAE medical liability regulations.
5. Can the test be performed on an archival tissue sample?
No – for DNA sequencing, the test requires a fresh peripheral blood sample. Archival specimens are not suitable for this analysis. Secure Medical Courier Solid Tissue Specimen Retrieval is not applicable for this test.
