ملخص تنفيذي
يقدم هذا الاختبار الجيني المتقدم تحليل تسلسل الجيل التالي (NGS) الكامل لجين MT-TS2 لتشخيص متلازمة تداخل MERRF/MELAS، بدقة تشخيصية تبلغ 99.9% وضمن معايير هيئة الصحة بدبي. يتم جمع العينة في المنزل بخدمة طبية مبرّدة ومعتمدة من ISO، مع دعم سريري هاتفي بعد النتيجة وتأكيد التغطية التأمينية مباشرة.
Overview
This next‑generation sequencing test analyses the entire MT‑TS2 mitochondrial gene to detect pathogenic variants causing the overlapping syndromes MERRF (myoclonic epilepsy with ragged‑red fibres) and MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke‑like episodes). (تحليل طفرات جين MT‑TS2 لتشخيص متلازمة MERRF/MELAS). It is the most comprehensive genetic investigation available in the UAE for these neurodegenerative disorders.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS Full‑Gene) | Closest Alternative (Targeted PCR) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Sanger sequencing / targeted mutation panel |
| Gene Coverage | Full MT‑TS2 gene (all exons, intron‑exon boundaries) | Only known hotspots (misses novel variants) |
| Diagnostic Yield | 99.9% sensitivity for point mutations and small indels | ~70% yield (limited to pre‑defined targets) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 7–10 days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License 61713011: “A genetic diagnosis of MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome provides clarity for a long journey of uncertainty. While the test offers unmatched accuracy, it must always be interpreted alongside a full neurological and metabolic work‑up – a result is never the final word, but a guiding sign post for personalised care.”
⚠ Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
🛡️ Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion: Patients unable to give informed consent without a legally authorised representative. Minors require explicit guardian consent as per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- Exclusion: Active febrile illness or acute instability that would make blood collection hazardous (postpone until stabilised).
- ER Red Flag: If you or your child is experiencing stroke‑like episodes, uncontrolled seizures, or sudden loss of consciousness, proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency department – do not delay for sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q1: What is the MT‑TS2 gene test for MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome? (ما هو اختبار جين MT-TS2 لمتلازمة تداخل MERRF/MELAS؟)
A: This uses next generation sequencing to read the entire MT‑TS2 gene, revealing mutations that cause the combined features of MERRF and MELAS mitochondrial disorders. يستخدم الاختبار تقنية تسلسل الجيل التالي لقراءة جين MT‑TS2 بالكامل، ويكشف الطفرات المسببة لأعراض متلازمتي MERRF وMELAS مجتمعة.
Q2: How long does it take to get results, and what is the cost? (كم يستغرق الحصول على النتائج وكم التكلفة؟)
A: The laboratory processing time is 3 to 4 weeks from the moment the sample arrives, and the total investment is 2800 AED. مدة المعالجة المخبرية من 3 إلى 4 أسابيع من وصول العينة، والتكلفة الإجمالية 2800 درهم.
Q3: Is home sample collection available across the UAE? (هل خدمة جمع العينات المنزلية متوفرة في جميع أنحاء الإمارات؟)
A: Yes, our hospital‑grade phlebotomy team visits you anywhere in the Emirates daily from 8 AM to 11 PM, following ISO cold‑chain protocols. نعم، يزورك فريق الفصد المعتمد من المستشفى في أي مكان بالإمارات يومياً من 8 صباحاً حتى 11 مساءً، باتباع بروتوكولات النقل المبرد المعتمدة من ISO.
