Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“While this NGS test offers high diagnostic accuracy, results must be correlated with clinical history and neurological evaluation. I advise patients not to discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting their treating neurologist. Our team is here to guide you through result interpretation.”

— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403

Medication Advisory

⚠️ Medication Warning

Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test is a diagnostic aid and does not replace medical advice.

Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags

  • Exclusion: Patients with active bleeding disorders, severe thrombocytopenia, or inability to provide a blood sample should consult the ordering physician before booking.
  • Emergency Red Flags: If you experience sudden seizures, loss of consciousness, stroke-like episodes, or severe metabolic crisis, seek emergency medical attention immediately — this test is not for acute diagnostics.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. What is the MT-CO3 genetic test and who should consider it?

This NGS test sequences the entire MT-CO3 gene to identify pathogenic variants linked to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase deficiency disorders. It is recommended for individuals with unexplained neurological symptoms, family history of mitochondrial disease, or those seeking genetic confirmation under physician guidance.

2. What sample is required and how is collection done?

Blood on FTA card, whole blood, or extracted DNA enables precise NGS analysis of MT-CO3. Our VIP mobile phlebotomy team collects a finger-prick drop or venous sample at your home, office, or hospital, ensuring cold-chain transport.

3. How long do results take and how will I receive them?

Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt at the lab. Reports are delivered securely via encrypted PDF, with optional telephonic clinical guidance from our DHA-licensed specialist.
