Test Overview & Methodology
The NEUROD1 Gene MODY6 Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test definitively diagnoses Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young type 6, a monogenic form of diabetes that mimics Type 1/2 but requires distinct management. This test identifies sequence variants in the entire coding region of NEUROD1, distinguishing MODY6 from other diabetes types and guiding sulfonylurea therapy, genetic counseling, and cascade family screening.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a clinical geneticist, I emphasise that accurate NEUROD1 gene analysis provides a definitive diagnosis for MODY6, which is crucial for personalised diabetes management and family risk assessment. I advise discussing your results with your diabetologist to integrate them into your care plan and never make therapeutic changes without professional guidance.โ

The NEUROD1 gene MODY6 NGS test detects mutations causing Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young type 6, enabling precise diagnosis and personalized treatment planning. It identifies sequence variants in the entire coding region of NEUROD1, distinguishing MODY6 from Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and guiding sulfonylurea therapy, genetic counseling, and cascade family screening.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
You must undergo a genetic counseling session to provide a detailed family history and a pedigree chart before sample collection. No fasting or medication adjustments are required unless specifically instructed by your physician. A simple blood draw or FTA card sample is collected by our DHA-licensed mobile phlebotomist at your home.
3. What does the test cost and what is the turnaround time?
The test is priced at 2,800 AED. Turnaround time is 3โ4 weeks from sample receipt at the laboratory. Results are delivered via secure portal and include a telephonic clinical guidance session.
