🏥 Test Overview
The Huntington Disease Mutation Detection Test precisely quantifies the CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the HTT gene using PCR‑based fragment analysis (STR sizing). It is the definitive molecular diagnostic for Huntington disease and a critical presymptomatic screening for at‑risk relatives in the UAE, performed under DHA‑approved protocols with a 10‑working‑day turnaround.
Clinical Intent: Confirm diagnosis in patients with motor, cognitive, or psychiatric symptoms; provide predictive information for asymptomatic adults with a family history, always paired with genetic counselling.
| Feature | Our DHA‑Approved Test | Closest Alternative (Standard PCR) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | PCR + Fragment & STR Analysis (capillary electrophoresis) | PCR with agarose gel sizing only |
| Sensitivity | 99.9% – resolves exact CAG repeat length (normal, intermediate, pathogenic) | ~90% – may misclassify borderline alleles |
| Turnaround | 10 working days (sample Tue by 11 AM) | 10–14 working days |
💬 Physician Insight – Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA 61713011)
“A positive HTT expansion is a life‑altering finding that must be integrated with a detailed neurological exam and family history. Even negative results do not exclude other hereditary ataxias or movement disorders – genetic counselling is mandatory. Please never stop or change any prescribed medication without direct advice from your treating physician.”
⚠️ Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
🚨 Safety Exclusion & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion criteria: Unstable psychiatric condition, severe cognitive impairment preventing informed consent; minors require legal guardian consent and pre‑test genetic counselling per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: new‑onset severe depression, suicidal thoughts, uncontrollable chorea, swallowing difficulties, or rapid cognitive decline.
❓ Patient FAQ (English & Formal Medical Arabic)
1. What is the Huntington Disease Mutation Detection test and why is it done?
Quick Answer: This test detects and precisely measures the CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the HTT gene, confirming a diagnosis of Huntington disease or revealing presymptomatic risk with 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity.
يقيس هذا التحليل عدد تكرارات CAG في جين HTT لتأكيد تشخيص مرض هنتنغتون أو الكشف عن خطره قبل ظهور الأعراض.
2. Who should consider taking this genetic test in the UAE?
Quick Answer: Adults with motor symptoms (chorea, dystonia), cognitive decline, psychiatric changes, or a confirmed family history of Huntington disease should undergo testing after comprehensive genetic counselling.
يُنصح به للبالغين الذين تظهر عليهم أعراض حركية أو نفسية مع تاريخ عائلي للمرض، بعد استشارة وراثية مسبقة.
3. What do the results mean and how soon will I receive them?
Quick Answer: A result of 40 or more CAG repeats is pathogenic; 36‑39 is intermediate with reduced penetrance; 27‑35 is unstable but not disease‑causing. The report is delivered within 10 working days after sample receipt on Tuesday by 11 AM.
نتيجة 40 تكراراً أو أكثر تُعدّ ممرضة، بينما النتيجة المتوسطة تحتاج متابعة، وتصدر التقارير خلال 10 أيام عمل.
