- Accuracy Guarantee: Gold-standard Illumina sequencing with CNV detection.
- Premium Logistics: ISO-certified cold-chain home collection (finger-prick or venous).
- Complimentary Guidance: Post-test telephonic clinical correlation session.
- Insurance Verification: Direct billing via WhatsApp +971 54 548 8731.
Test Overview & Methodology
The SAMD9 Gene Mirage Syndrome NGS Test employs Next-Generation Sequencing to interrogate all coding exons and flanking splice sites of the SAMD9 gene for single nucleotide variants, small indels, and copy number variations. It is the gold standard for confirming a clinical diagnosis of Mirage syndrome, a rare multisystem disorder characterized by myelodysplasia, adrenal insufficiency, growth retardation, and genital anomalies.

|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene sequencing + CNV detection (100x coverage) | Sanger sequencing of selected exons only |
| Methodology | Illumina NGS with advanced bioinformatics | Capillary electrophoresis – misses large deletions |
| Turnaround | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh | Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403
My team and I recognise the profound anxiety that accompanies genetic testing for rare paediatric syndromes. This test provides answers that can guide precise management, but it is only one element of care—your child’s ongoing clinical supervision remains paramount. If the result reveals a pathogenic variant, our genetic counsellors will immediately coordinate specialist referrals and family screening to ensure no family member is left uninformed.
Medication Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Recent blood transfusion (<2 weeks) or active haemolysis—may compromise DNA yield.
- Immediate Emergency: If your child develops high fever with severe infection, unusual bleeding/bruising, or signs of adrenal crisis (vomiting, shock, lethargy), seek urgent medical care. Do not wait for genetic results.
- Informed Consent: A pre‑test genetic counselling session and pedigree chart are mandatory per UAE clinical guidelines.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the clinical utility of the SAMD9 gene test?
This NGS-based test definitively diagnoses Mirage syndrome by detecting pathogenic SAMD9 mutations, enabling tailored management and familial risk stratification. It helps differentiate Mirage from other bone marrow failure syndromes and informs decisions regarding haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
Collection requires only one drop of blood on an FTA card or a standard venous draw, performed at home by our DHA-licensed phlebotomists between 8 AM and 11 PM. The sample is transported under strict cold‑chain conditions, and your comprehensive report is available within 3 to 4 weeks.
3. Is insurance accepted and how do I verify coverage?
Yes, we process direct billing with all major UAE insurers—simply WhatsApp your policy card to +971 54 548 8731 for instant verification. Our team will confirm pre‑approval within two hours, and you only pay any applicable co‑insurance after that.
