يُقدم فحص الجيل التالي لجين MMP21 لتشخيص تباين الموضع الحشوي النوع السابع دقة تشخيصية تصل إلى 99.9% وفقاً لمعايير الآيزو المعتمدة وبترخيص هيئة الصحة بدبي، مع خدمة سحب منزلي عالية الجودة واستشارة طبية تلي الفحص.
Overview
This focused Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the full coding region of the MMP21 gene to diagnose heterotaxy visceral type 7, a congenital laterality disorder that disturbs the normal left‑right patterning of thoracic and abdominal organs. Performed in a DHA‑licensed, ISO 9001:2015 molecular laboratory, the assay delivers clinically actionable results within 3‑4 weeks using a small volume of whole blood, extracted DNA, or a dried blood spot on an FTA card.
تحليل جيني يستهدف جين MMP21 المسؤول عن اضطراب التموضع الحشوي، ويُجرى بتقنية تسلسل الجيل التالي لتأكيد التشخيص عند حديثي الولادة والأطفال.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA‑ISO) | Alternative (Single‑Site Genotyping) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | High‑depth NGS (full gene sequencing) | Targeted mutation analysis (common variants only) |
| Coverage | All exons ± 20 bp splice junctions | Limited to known familial variants |
| Turnaround | 3‑4 weeks | 4‑6 weeks |
| Sensitivity | >99.9% for single‑nucleotide variants & small indels | Variable; may miss novel mutations |
Sample types: 2 mL whole blood (EDTA), 1 μg extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A pathogenic variant in MMP21 does not always predict exact clinical severity; I therefore interpret each result in the context of the child’s echocardiogram, splenic function, and visceral arrangement—and never offer a prognosis solely from the genetic report. If the test indicates a diagnosis of heterotaxy visceral type 7, prompt multidisciplinary follow‑up with paediatric cardiology and immunology is life‑saving.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License No. 61713011
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. Genetic testing does not replace medical management; blood‑thinning, cardiovascular, or immunosuppressive therapies must continue as directed.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Sample Collection Exclusion:
- Blood transfusion within the last 4 weeks (may dilute donor DNA)
- Active haematological malignancy with peripheral blast crisis
- Inability to obtain informed consent from legal guardian (mandatory for minors)
Clinical Red Flags – Seek Emergency Care if:
- New‑onset cyanosis (blue skin/lips) or severe respiratory distress
- Signs of acute intestinal obstruction (bilious vomiting, rigid abdomen)
- Overwhelming sepsis in an asplenic/polysplenic patient
All paediatric genetic testing complies with UAE Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87), CDS Law 2026 on minors’ digital safety, and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How quickly can I receive the MMP21 NGS test result in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
You will receive the fully interpreted genetic report within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt, thanks to our in‑country DHA‑licensed NGS workflow and dedicated bioinformatics pipeline.
تظهر نتيجة تحليل جين MMP21 بتقنية تسلسل الجيل التالي خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع لدى مختبرنا المعتمد في دبي وأبوظبي.
2. Does this test require a paediatric genetic counselling session before blood collection?
Yes, a pre‑ genetic counselling session is mandatory to draw a detailed pedigree and ensure the family understands the implications of a positive MMP21 result.
نعم، جلسة الاستشارة الوراثية قبل الفحص ضرورية لرسم شجرة العائلة وشرح النتائج المحتملة بدقة.
