Test Overview & Methodology
The MT‑ATP6 NGS test sequences the entire mitochondrial MT‑ATP6 gene to detect pathogenic variants linked to Leigh syndrome, NARP (neuropathy, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa), and isolated complex V deficiency. It replaces fragmented single‑gene assays with a single high‑depth Next‑Generation Sequencing workflow, enabling definitive molecular diagnosis in 3–4 weeks.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS Premium) | Standard Single‑Gene Testing |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage (coding + regulatory regions) with 30× minimum depth | Targeted mutation hotspots only; ~60% detection rate |
| Method | Next‑Generation Sequencing (Illumina NovaSeq™ validated) | Sanger sequencing or PCR‑RFLP |
| Turnaround | 3–4 weeks | 2–3 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Genetic testing for MT‑ATP6 must be interpreted within the full clinical picture—a positive result can guide dietary and cofactor therapy, while a negative result does not rule out other mitochondrial disorders. Always involve a metabolic neurologist and genetic counsellor."
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory & Safety Guardrails
Clinical Safety Guardrails
- Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medications without consulting your doctor.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you or the patient experiences sudden neurological deterioration, seizures, respiratory distress, or acute metabolic crisis, seek immediate emergency care — do not delay for test results.
Exclusion Criteria
- Individuals unable to provide informed consent or who lack a supervising physician for post‑test counselling.
- Patients with acute metabolic crisis requiring immediate hospitalisation should not delay emergency care for this test.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the MT‑ATP6 gene and what conditions does it cause?
Answer in brief: The MT‑ATP6 gene encodes a critical subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase, and pathogenic variants cause Leigh syndrome, NARP syndrome, or isolated mitochondrial complex V deficiency.
2. How is the test performed and what sample is required?
Answer in brief: The test uses Next‑Generation Sequencing on a whole blood sample, extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot card collected at home by a certified phlebotomist through our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service.
3. What is the turnaround time and price for this test?
Answer in brief: Results are available within 3 to 4 weeks, and the cost is 2,800 AED inclusive of home collection and telephonic counselling.
