Test Overview and Methodology
The PSEN1 gene (presenilin‑1) is a causal locus for autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy type 1U. This NGS test fully sequences all coding exons and splice junctions, providing definitive molecular stratification for inherited cardiomyopathy. The alternative approach – broad exome panels – often lacks the depth and focused interpretation required for PSEN1‑specific variants.
| Feature | Our CMD1U NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Standard Sanger / Broader Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Target Region | PSEN1 entire coding region + 20 bp intronic flanks | Single‑exon (Sanger) or multi‑gene panels with lower PSEN1 coverage |
| Analytical Sensitivity | >99.9% for single nucleotide variants and small indels | 95–98% (Sanger); panels may miss low‑frequency mosaicism |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–8 Weeks (outsourced whole exome) |
| Clinical Interpretation | Dedicated cardiac geneticist report with ACMG variant classification | Generic lab report without cardiology‑specific interpretation |
| UAE Regulatory Compliance | Full alignment with Federal Decree‑Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL) and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 | May not guarantee local data sovereignty |
Physician Insight and Safety Protocols
“As a DHA‑licensed Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that detecting a PSEN1 variant indicates an increased risk for dilated cardiomyopathy – it does not guarantee disease onset. Lifelong cardiac surveillance and family cascade screening are essential. Always interpret results in consultation with a cardiologist experienced in inherited cardiac conditions.”

Advisory Notice – Medication Continuity
Medication Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed heart medications, beta‑blockers, or ACE inhibitors without consulting your treating cardiologist.
Exclusion Criteria and Emergency Red Flags
- Not suitable for: Acute decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization; individuals unable to provide informed consent (minors must have legal guardian consent in accordance with Federal Decree‑Law No. 45 of 2021 and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019).
- Immediate ER attendance required if: crushing chest pain, severe shortness of breath at rest, syncope (loss of consciousness), or rapid irregular heartbeat – these may indicate a cardiac emergency independent of the genetic test result.
- Data Privacy: All genetic data is stored on UAE‑based servers under Federal Decree‑Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL) and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019; results are shared solely with the requesting physician unless the patient explicitly opts for personal release.
Patient FAQ and Clinical Guidance
1. What is the PSEN1 gene dilated cardiomyopathy test?
It is a targeted Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) test that examines all coding regions of the PSEN1 gene to identify mutations causing dilated cardiomyopathy type 1U, enabling early risk stratification and family screening.
2. How do I prepare for the test?
No fasting or medication changes are required; however, a pre‑genetic counselling session is mandatory to discuss family history and draw a detailed pedigree chart before sample collection.
3. What do my results mean and who will explain them?
Results classify variants as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of uncertain significance; a DHA‑licensed Consultant Medical Genetics provides a telephonic interpretation, correlating with your cardiac imaging and family data.
