RAD51 Gene Mirror Movements Type 2 Genetic Test in UAE | 2800 AED | DHA Licensed
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
This comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the RAD51 gene for pathogenic variants linked to congenital mirror movements type 2 (CMM2). With 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity, ISO-certified cold-chain home collection, and direct insurance billing via WhatsApp, you receive definitive clinical clarity under DHA-licensed supervision.
Test Overview & Methodology
The RAD51 Mirror Movements Type 2 Genetic Test employs next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina platform to analyze the RAD51 gene for pathogenic variants associated with congenital mirror movements type 2 (CMM2). The assay detects single nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions and deletions (indels), and copy number variations (CNVs) with greater than 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity. Pre- and post-test genetic counselling is included to ensure patients and families fully understand the clinical implications of their results within the context of a comprehensive neurological evaluation.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Single-Gene Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99.9% sensitivity; detects SNVs, indels, CNVs | ~95% sensitivity; limited to targeted exons |
| Method | Next-Generation Sequencing (Illumina platform) | Sanger sequencing (capillary electrophoresis) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 4–8 weeks |
| Sample Types | Whole blood, DNA, dried blood spot (FTA card) | Whole blood or extracted DNA only |
| Clinical Support | Genetic counselling included pre- and post-test | Counselling often separate |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh | Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403
"Mirror movements can appear benign in early childhood, yet a confirmed pathogenic RAD51 variant provides critical direction for neurological management and informed family planning. I emphasise to every family that genetic results represent one component of the clinical picture and must be interpreted alongside a thorough neurological examination and structured genetic counselling. Your neurologist will integrate this test result within the full context of your personal and family history."
Advisory: Medication Continuity & Test Preparation
Medication & Test Readiness
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This genetic test does not interfere with ongoing treatments, and abrupt changes to your medication regimen may compromise neurological stability. No fasting is required for the blood draw, but please provide the phlebotomist with your complete clinical history and any pedigree charts prepared during your genetic counselling session.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Absolute contraindications to blood draw: severe coagulopathy or active infection at the collection site. Please contact your physician first.
- Home collection not advised if you are under 18 years of age without a legal guardian present. Parental or legal guardian authorisation is mandatory for all genetic testing on minors.
- Seek immediate medical attention (ER) if you experience sudden worsening of mirror movements, loss of coordination, or new-onset seizures before or after testing.
- Pregnancy and lactation: The blood draw poses no risk to the test itself; however, result implications require a dedicated genetic counselling session with your consultant.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive RAD51 result mean for my mirror movements?
Answer: A positive RAD51 test confirms a genetic diagnosis of congenital mirror movements type 2, guiding targeted neurological follow-up and family risk assessment. Your consultant will help you interpret this result within your full clinical context.
2. How should I prepare for the blood draw at home?
Answer: No fasting is required. Please provide the phlebotomist with your full clinical history and a completed pedigree chart from your genetic counselling session. Our team will confirm your appointment window between 8 AM and 11 PM daily.
3. Will my insurance cover the RAD51 genetic test cost?
Answer: We verify UAE insurance eligibility directly via WhatsApp. Most major health plans cover medically indicated genetic tests for neurological disorders with pre-authorisation. Please contact our billing team for a personalised eligibility check.
4. How long does it take to get my RAD51 test results?
Answer: The turnaround time is 3–4 weeks from sample receipt. This allows for comprehensive NGS sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and clinical variant interpretation. You will receive a detailed report with your genetic counselling session.
