Test Overview & Methodology
This next‑generation sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the mitochondrial MT‑RNR2 gene (16S rRNA) for variants linked to chloramphenicol resistance and toxicity susceptibility. Results guide safe therapeutic decisions and personal risk assessment. The assay uses Illumina® short‑read sequencing followed by orthogonal LC‑MS/MS confirmation of functional impact, ensuring comprehensive detection of known and novel variants.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Targeted Genotyping) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage, detection of known & novel variants (99.9% sensitivity) | Limited to predefined SNPs only |
| Methodology | NGS (Illumina®) with LC‑MS/MS confirmation of functional impact | PCR‑RFLP or Sanger sequencing |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks (expedited options available) | 5–6 weeks, often requiring secondary confirmation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
From Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh | Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403
“The MT‑RNR2 pharmacogenetic profile offers critical insight into mitochondrial drug sensitivity. However, a positive variant does not alone dictate clinical action. It must be interpreted alongside the patient’s medication history, hepatic function, and concurrent therapies. Genetic counselling is strongly recommended before any therapeutic change.”
Safety Advisory & Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion Criteria: Active febrile illness, recent blood transfusion (wait 4 weeks), or known allergy to antiseptic used in venipuncture.
- Emergency Red Flags (seek immediate care): Sudden hearing loss, unexplained bruising/bleeding, severe fatigue, or signs of bone marrow failure after chloramphenicol exposure.
- Do not discontinue prescribed chloramphenicol or any medication without consulting your doctor.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a “positive” mutation result actually mean for my health?
A positive finding indicates you carry a genetic variant associated with altered cellular response to chloramphenicol – it does NOT mean you currently have an illness, only that your tolerance to the drug may differ. A genetic counsellor will explain the implications.
2. How will you collect my sample at home?
A DHA‑licensed phlebotomist arrives at your doorstep with a temperature‑controlled kit; the entire process – from vein to cold‑chain vessel – takes under 8 minutes. The blood sample is then securely couriered to our ISO‑certified lab.
3. Is this test covered by UAE insurance?
Coverage depends on your policy; we provide direct billing verification via WhatsApp – message +971545488731 with your Emirates ID and insurance card image.
