Test Overview · نظرة عامة
This advanced NGS test sequences the entire MT‑TM mitochondrial gene to detect pathogenic variants linked to mitochondrial myopathy and potentially associated cardiomyopathy. يقوم هذا الاختبار المتطور بتسلسل جين MT‑TM بالكامل للكشف عن الطفرات المسببة لاعتلال العضلات الميتوكوندري وما قد يرتبط به من اعتلال عضلة القلب.

Message from Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011)
As a physician, I understand the uncertainty that genetic testing for mitochondrial disease can carry. This test provides high‑value molecular data, yet a definitive diagnosis must always be correlated with your full clinical picture. I strongly encourage every patient to discuss these results with a dedicated genetic counsellor before making any health decisions.
⚠️ MEDICATION WARNING
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Altering your treatment plan without medical supervision may lead to serious cardiac or metabolic decompensation.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion criteria: acute febrile illness, inability to provide a blood/DNA sample, lack of a clinical indication for mitochondrial myopathy testing.
- Absolute contraindication: genetic testing requested for a minor without documented guardian consent (CDS Law 2026).
- Emergency red flags – seek immediate medical attention: sudden severe muscle weakness, breathing difficulty, chest pain, palpitations, or loss of consciousness. These may signal acute mitochondrial crisis or cardiac involvement.
- Home collection is postponed if the patient presents with any exclusion criterion; rescheduling is free of charge.
Frequently Asked Questions · الأسئلة الشائعة
Q1: What is MT‑TM gene‑related mitochondrial myopathy?
Snippet killer: MT‑TM gene mutations cause mitochondrial myopathy, leading to progressive muscle weakness and possible cardiomyopathy detectable by NGS. The disorder affects energy production in muscle cells, often presenting with exercise intolerance, fatigue, and in some patients, cardiac conduction abnormalities. Our NGS test sequences the entire MT‑TM gene to identify pathogenic variants, enabling precise diagnosis and family risk assessment.
س1: ما هو اعتلال العضلات الميتوكوندري المرتبط بجين MT‑TM؟
خلاصة الإجابة: طفرات جين MT‑TM تسبب اعتلال العضلات الميتوكوندري الذي يؤدي إلى ضعف عضلي تدريجي ويمكن أن يشمل عضلة القلب. يقوم اختبار NGS لدينا بتحليل كامل الجين لتحديد الطفرات المسببة، مما يسمح بتشخيص دقيق وتقييم المخاطر العائلية.
Q2: How is the NGS test performed and what samples are accepted?
Snippet killer: A small blood sample, extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card is all that’s required. Our phlebotomist collects the sample during a scheduled home visit using cold‑chain transport. The laboratory then extracts DNA and uses Next‑Generation Sequencing to read every nucleotide of the MT‑TM gene, comparing it against reference sequences to detect clinically significant variants.
س2: كيف يتم إجراء اختبار NGS وما هي العينات المقبولة؟
خلاصة الإجابة: تكفي عينة دم بسيطة أو حمض نووي مستخلص أو قطرة دم على بطاقة FTA. يقوم فريقنا بسحب العينة في منزلك مع النقل المبرد، ثم يتم تحليل الجين بتقنية التسلسل المتطور.
Q3: What will the results tell me and is genetic counselling included?
Snippet killer: Your report will indicate if a disease‑causing MT‑TM variant is present, absent, or of uncertain significance, with genetic counselling included. A definite pathogenic finding confirms the diagnosis and helps guide family screening. Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) require clinical correlation and may be reclassified as more data emerge. A complimentary post‑ tele‑counselling session with a certified genetic counsellor is provided to explain every detail.
س3: ماذا ستخبرني النتائج وهل تشمل الاستشارة الوراثية؟
خلاصة الإجابة: سيحدد التقرير ما إذا كان هناك طفرة ممرضة، غيابها، أو طفرة غير محددة الأهمية، مع استشارة وراثية مجانية بعد الاختبار. وجود طفرة واضحة يؤكد التشخيص ويساعد في فحص أفراد العائلة.
