Test Overview & Methodology
The MT-TY gene test employs Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) on an Illumina platform to identify pathogenic variants associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This analysis provides a definitive molecular diagnosis in 3–4 weeks, far surpassing conventional single-gene panels in resolution and clinical relevance. The full mitochondrial tRNA coding region is interrogated with clinically validated bioinformatics pipelines.
| Feature | Our MT-TY NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Single-Gene Sanger) |

| Precision | 99.9% Sensitivity, full gene coverage (exons ±20 bp) | 95% Sensitivity, limited to known hotspots |
| Methodology | NGS (Illumina platform) with clinically validated bioinformatics | Sanger Sequencing (single amplicon) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks (often batched) |
| Price | 2800 AED | ~3500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"I advise every patient and family to interpret this genetic result within the full clinical context. A negative result does not exclude disease, and a positive result requires multidisciplinary management with a cardiologist and nephrologist. Please continue all prescribed medications and follow your physician's guidance carefully." – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory Notice
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without explicit consultation with your treating physician. Genetic test results are not a substitute for ongoing clinical care and should be used to complement, not replace, standard medical management.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Test cannot be performed on unlabelled or haemolysed samples – recollection required.
- Acute decompensated heart failure or rapid renal function decline are not contraindications, however immediate emergency care must take priority over sample collection.
- If the patient develops syncope, severe chest pain, or anuria, seek emergency medical attention and postpone elective genetic testing until clinically stable.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the MT-TY gene test and how does it work?
The MT-TY gene test uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations linked to FSGS and dilated cardiomyopathy, providing a definitive molecular diagnosis in 3–4 weeks. It analyses the entire coding region of the mitochondrial MT-TY gene from a blood sample or extracted DNA, identifying pathogenic variants responsible for these inherited conditions.
2. How is the sample collected and what preparation is required?
Our certified phlebotomist visits your home or office between 8 AM and 11 PM, using a temperature-controlled cold-chain transport system that preserves DNA integrity from vein to laboratory. No fasting is needed; you must provide a clinical history and a completed genetic counselling pedigree before sample collection. The laboratory accepts whole blood, extracted DNA, or a single drop on an FTA card.
3. Is the test suitable for children and what consent is required?
Under the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability and the Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection, explicit parental or guardian consent is mandatory before any sample collection from a minor. The test is available for children with clinical suspicion of hereditary FSGS or dilated cardiomyopathy, provided a pedigree chart from a genetic counselling session is submitted along with the consent form.
4. How do I book the test and what is the process?
You can schedule the test through our WhatsApp line at +971 54 548 8731 for direct billing verification and appointment booking. After booking, a genetic counsellor contacts you to collect the required clinical history and pedigree. Sample collection is arranged within 24–48 hours, and results are delivered electronically 3–4 weeks later with a telephonic consultation from our Consultant Medical Geneticist.
