Test Overview & Methodology
This next‑generation sequencing (NGS) test screens the entire coding region of the SNCA gene (PARK4 locus) for pathogenic variants linked to autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease. The test uses a single blood, DNA, or FTA card sample with a 3‑to‑4‑week turnaround time, offering unmatched clinical certainty for patients and at‑risk family members.
| Feature | Our Test (SNCA PARK4 NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | NGS (Next‑Generation Sequencing) | Sanger Sequencing (single‑exon) |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 5 to 6 Weeks |
| Detection Rate | >99.9% (full gene coverage) | ~85–90% (limited to targeted exons) |
| Price | 2800 AED | 3500 AED |
| Sample Types | Blood, Extracted DNA, FTA Card | Blood only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“I understand that considering a genetic test for Parkinson’s can be emotionally overwhelming. This NGS‑based analysis gives us a precise molecular window into your hereditary risk, but it must always be interpreted alongside a comprehensive neurological evaluation. Please remember that a positive result is not a diagnosis on its own, and a negative result does not eliminate all possible genetic factors.”

Medication Advisory
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This genetic test does not provide immediate therapeutic guidance and should never replace your current Parkinson’s management plan.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Active bleeding disorder or severe thrombocytopenia; inability to provide informed consent (guardian required for minors per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability); insufficient DNA quantity on FTA card.
- ER Red Flags: Sudden worsening of tremor, rigidity, or gait instability; signs of stroke (facial droop, one‑sided weakness, speech difficulty); severe allergic reaction (hives, difficulty breathing) within 24 hours of blood draw – seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the SNCA gene PARK4 Parkinson NGS test?
The SNCA gene (PARK4) Parkinson NGS test screens for pathogenic variants in the alpha‑synuclein gene that cause hereditary Parkinson’s disease with 99.9% sensitivity.
2. How accurate is this compared to standard Parkinson’s diagnosis?
It provides >99.9% diagnostic sensitivity for SNCA‑linked hereditary Parkinson’s when performed by NGS under ISO 9001:2015 accredited protocols.
3. Can I use an FTA card instead of a blood draw?
Yes, a single drop of blood on an FTA card is fully accepted; our cold‑chain logistics preserve DNA integrity for reliable NGS.
