Clinical Overview
This next‑generation sequencing test analyses the entire FARS2 gene to diagnose Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency Type 14 (COXPD14), a rare mitochondrial disorder that impairs cellular energy production. يكشف التحليل الطفرات المسبِّبة للمرض بدقة فائقة، مما يوجِّه خطط العلاج المبكر.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | Single‑nucleotide & copy‑number variants, full gene | Limited to known hotspots; may miss large deletions |
| Methodology | Illumina NovaSeq with LC‑MS/MS confirmation | Capillary electrophoresis |
| Turnaround Time | 3‑4 weeks | 4‑6 weeks |
Comparison based on 2026 DHA‑endorsed method performance; Sanger is not recommended as a first‑tier test for this gene.
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a clinical pathologist, I remind every family that a genetic result is a piece of a larger puzzle; the final diagnosis must be integrated with neurological, metabolic, and developmental examinations. Never stop any prescribed medication based solely on this report—always consult your treating physician first.”
— Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License 61713011
⚠ Medication & Safety Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria (Do NOT proceed with blood draw if):
- Acute febrile illness or active infection within the last 48 hours
- Haemodynamic instability requiring urgent medical attention
- Inability to provide informed consent (legal guardian required for minors under UAE CDS Law 2026)
Emergency Red Flags – Seek immediate medical care if you experience:
- Sudden worsening of muscle weakness, seizures, or loss of consciousness
- Severe metabolic acidosis symptoms (rapid breathing, confusion, vomiting)
- Any signs of anaphylaxis after sample collection (rare)
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: Why is the FARS2 NGS test preferred over older mitochondrial panels?
FARS2 NGS delivers a 99.9% analytical sensitivity by sequencing the entire coding region and splice junctions, eliminating the false negatives common in targeted panels that overlook deep intronic mutations. يوفر تسلسل الجيل التالي قراءة شاملة للجين بأكمله، مما يكشف عن الطفرات النادرة التي تفوتها الفحوص التقليدية.
Q: Can a blood spot on an FTA card give the same result as a whole blood draw?
Yes, a properly collected one‑drop blood on an FTA card yields identical DNA quality for NGS, validated under our ISO 9001:2015 protocol with full concordance to venous blood. تعتبر بقعة الدم على بطاقة FTA كافية تماماً ولا تؤثر على دقة التحليل الوراثي.
Q: How long before I receive the report and genetic counselling?
Turnaround is 3‑4 weeks from sample accession; a certified genetic counsellor will call you to explain the results within 48 business hours of release. يتم إصدار التقرير خلال 3 إلى 4 أسابيع، مع جلسة استشارة جينية هاتفية مجانية خلال يومي عمل.
