ملخص تنفيذي:
يتم إجراء تحليل جين SELENON باستخدام تقنية التسلسل الجيني من الجيل التالي (NGS) للكشف عن الطفرات المسببة للاعتلال العضلي الخلقي مع عدم تناسب أنواع الألياف. النتائج دقيقة بنسبة 99.9% ومعتمدة من هيئة الصحة بدبي، مع استشارة وراثية شاملة.
Test Overview
This Genetic Test analyzes the entire SELENON (SEPN1) gene to identify pathogenic variants responsible for congenital myopathy with fiber-type disproportion and related rigid spine muscular dystrophy. It offers a definitive molecular diagnosis with a turnaround time of 3 to 4 weeks, enabling targeted clinical management and genetic counselling.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Single-Gene) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage; detects SNVs, indels, CNVs | Limited to known hotspots; misses deep intronic variants |
| Methodology | Illumina NGS with bioinformatic validation | Sanger sequencing |
| Turnaround | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
| Cost | 2800 AED | ~3500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a neurologist, I understand the uncertainty that comes with a possible genetic myopathy. This test is not a standalone answer but a vital piece of the diagnostic puzzle. Results must be correlated with your clinical history and family findings, and I am here, alongside your genetic counsellor, to guide you through every step of interpretation and care.” — Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License 61713011.
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue or adjust any prescribed medication, including muscle relaxants or respiratory support, without explicit instruction from your treating physician. Premature changes can severely worsen muscle function.
Important Safety Notice
- Exclusion Criteria: This test is not intended for asymptomatic minors without a confirmed family history; pediatric testing requires parental consent as per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- Patient Preparation: No fasting required. A genetic counselling session is mandatory prior to sample collection to draw a pedigree chart.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you or your child develop sudden breathing difficulties, severe choking, or loss of ambulation, go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
- Data Privacy: All genetic data is protected under UAE PDPL and stored in ISO 27001-certified servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does a positive SELENON gene test mean for my muscle weakness?
A positive result identifies a disease-causing variant in the SELENON gene, confirming the molecular diagnosis of a congenital myopathy with fiber-type disproportion. This finding explains your muscle weakness, guides prognosis, and helps your neurologist tailor a management plan that may include respiratory monitoring, physiotherapy, and orthopedic care. Clinical correlation with electromyography and muscle biopsy is essential; the test does not replace a full neurological evaluation.
تؤكد النتيجة الإيجابية وجود طفرة ممرضة في جين SELENON، مما يفسر سبب ضعف العضلات ويساعد في توجيه خطة العلاج الطبيعي والمتابعة التنفسية.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A small blood sample (2–3 mL in EDTA tube) or a dried blood spot from a finger prick is collected by our DHA-licensed phlebotomist at your home or office between 8 AM and 11 PM, using cold-chain transport. The NGS sequencing and bioinformatic analysis are completed within 3 to 4 weeks. Results are released only after a second independent review by a medical geneticist to ensure 99.9% accuracy.
يتم سحب عينة دم بسيطة في المنزل عبر ممرض مرخص، وتظهر النتائج خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع بعد التحليل الجيني الدقيق.
3. Is genetic counselling included and why is it necessary?
Yes, a mandatory pre‑test genetic counselling session is included. During this session, a certified genetic counsellor will construct a three‑generation pedigree chart, explain inheritance patterns (autosomal recessive), discuss the implications for family members, and obtain informed consent. Post‑ counselling is also provided to help you understand your results and reproductive options, fully compliant with UAE Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024, Article 87.
جلسة الاستشارة الوراثية إلزامية قبل الفحص وبعده، حيث يتم رسم شجرة العائلة وشرح نمط الوراثة المتنحي، بما يتوافق مع القانون الاتحادي رقم 41 لسنة 2024.
