يوفر هذا الفحص الجيني دقة تشخيصية بنسبة 99.9% لطفرات جين MT-TQ المرتبطة بالاعتلال العضلي الميتوكوندري، مع خدمة سحب العينات المنزلية المعتمدة وفق أفضل معايير الجودة الإماراتية.
Test Overview
The MT‑TQ gene myopathy NGS test sequences the entire mitochondrial MT‑TQ gene to identify pathogenic mutations that cause mitochondrial myopathy and associated neurological disorders. This targeted assay provides a definitive molecular diagnosis, enabling personalized treatment and family risk assessment within the DHA‑regulated UAE healthcare system.
يقوم هذا الاختبار بتحليل تسلسل جين MT‑TQ الميتوكوندري لتشخيص الاعتلال العضلي الوراثي بدقة، مما يساعد في وضع خطة علاجية فردية معتمدة في دولة الإمارات.
| Feature | Our MT-TQ NGS Test | Whole Exome Sequencing (Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Targeted high‑depth NGS of the entire MT‑TQ gene | Broad coverage of ~20,000 genes, lower depth for mitochondrial DNA |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks typically |
| Clinical Specificity | >99% for MT‑TQ variants | Variable; may miss mitochondrial mutations |
| Cost‑Effectiveness | 2800 AED, focused on confirmed mitochondrial phenotype | Higher price, often requires additional validation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA‑licensed neurologist, I emphasize that this NGS test offers robust molecular confirmation of MT‑TQ‑associated myopathy. However, clinical correlation with EMG, muscle biopsy, and family history remains essential; a positive result confirms the genetic diagnosis but does not forecast disease severity, while a negative result does not rule out other mitochondrial or metabolic disorders. Please discuss all results with your treating physician.”

⚠️ Crucial Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication (e.g., anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, or cardiac agents) without consulting your doctor. Abrupt cessation can precipitate severe neurological or cardiac events.
Exclusion Criteria & Safety Red Flags
- Consent: Minors (<18 years) must have a legal guardian per UAE CDS Law 2026; adults unable to consent require a legally authorized representative.
- Emergency Indicators: Sudden severe muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, choking, or irregular heartbeat require immediate emergency medical attention—do not wait for test results.
- Pregnancy/Lactation: Genetic testing may be performed but requires additional genetic counselling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MT‑TQ gene and how does it cause myopathy?
The MT‑TQ gene encodes a mitochondrial transfer RNA essential for producing proteins that power muscle cells; harmful mutations disrupt energy production causing progressive muscle weakness and neurological symptoms.
جين MT‑TQ ينتج الحمض النووي الريبوزي الناقل في الميتوكوندريا؛ الطفرات به توقف إنتاج الطاقة مما يؤدي إلى وهن عضلي مترقٍ وأعراض عصبية.
How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple blood draw, extracted DNA, or a few drops on an FTA card is collected at home via our cold‑chain phlebotomy service; results are ready in 3‑4 weeks using high‑depth NGS technology.
تؤخذ العينة عبر سحب الدم في المنزل أو بطاقة FTA، ويتم الشحن المبرد وفق معايير الجودة، وتصدر النتائج خلال 3-4 أسابيع بتقنية تسلسل الجيل التالي.
Is the test covered by UAE insurance and what is the total cost?
The MT‑TQ costs 2800 AED; many UAE insurers cover genetic testing when pre‑approved – contact us on WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 for direct billing verification.
