Overview
This advanced genetic test sequences the entire coding region of the TENM1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify pathogenic variants linked to colobomatous microphthalmia, a severe congenital eye malformation. يكشف هذا الاختبار الجيني المتقدم عن الطفرات المسببة للمرض في جين TENM1 المرتبطة بصغر العين والورم القولوني.
| Feature | Our Test (TENM1 NGS) | Closest Alternative (Whole Exome Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 100% coverage of TENM1 coding exons ±10 bp splice sites | Partial coverage; may miss deep intronic variants |
| Method | NGS with Illumina® SBS chemistry, verified by Sanger sequencing | NGS via whole exome capture, lower depth on single gene |
| Turnaround | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks (often delayed by incidental findings analysis) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a clinician, I understand the anxiety that accompanies genetic testing for a congenital eye condition. This test is a powerful tool for confirming the diagnosis and guiding family planning, but it must always be correlated with a detailed ophthalmologic examination. Please remember that a positive result defines the genetic cause, yet the clinical management remains a partnership between you and your specialist.” – Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License: 61713011.
⛔ Medication & Safety Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test does not replace an ocular emergency evaluation.
Exclusion Criteria:
- This DNA test is not suitable for individuals without a clinical suspicion or family history of colobomatous microphthalmia.
- Minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian, and consent must comply with UAE CDS Law 2026 (Minors).
- Do not use this test as a stand‑alone prenatal screen without prior genetic counselling.
🚨 Emergency Red Flags (seek immediate care):
- Sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain, or trauma.
- Signs of acute infection at the blood collection site.
- Any unexpected reaction after specimen collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the TENM1 gene colobomatous microphthalmia NGS test?
This NGS test analyzes the TENM1 gene to identify mutations causing colobomatous microphthalmia, a hereditary eye condition. It examines the complete coding sequence of the gene to detect single nucleotide variants, small deletions, and copy number changes. The result helps confirm a clinical diagnosis, guides surveillance for associated anomalies, and informs recurrence risk for family members.
يحلل اختبار التسلسل الجيني (NGS) هذا جين TENM1 لتحديد الطفرات المسببة لصغر العين والورم القولوني، وهو حالة عينية وراثية. يوفر تغطية كاملة للمناطق المشفرة للجين لتأكيد التشخيص السريري وتقدير خطورة تكرار الحالة.
2. How should I prepare for the test and what sample is required?
You need a blood sample (whole blood, dried blood spot on FTA card, or extracted DNA) with no fasting required. A genetic counselling session is mandatory to collect a detailed family history and draw a pedigree chart that includes all relatives affected by microphthalmia or coloboma. Please provide any previous ophthalmology reports. The home collection team will handle the cold‑chain transport.
تحتاج إلى عينة دم (دم كامل، بقعة دم مجففة على بطاقة FTA، أو حمض نووي مستخلص) ولا يتطلب الصيام. جلسة استشارة جينية إلزامية لجمع تاريخ عائلي ورسم شجرة النسب تشمل جميع الأقارب المصابين.
3. Is this test covered by insurance in the UAE?
Many UAE insurers cover the TENM1 NGS when pre‑authorized and supported by a referral from an ophthalmologist. Our billing team verifies your coverage directly via WhatsApp (+971 54 548 8731) before the appointment. You may need to submit a letter of medical necessity. For self‑pay patients, the total cost is 2800 AED.
تغطي العديد من شركات التأمين في الإمارات اختبار TENM1 NGS عند الحصول على موافقة مسبقة وإحالة من طبيب عيون. يتحقق فريقنا من التغطية عبر واتساب قبل الموعد.
