Test Overview & Methodology
The TDP1 Gene NGS Test definitively diagnoses autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1) by sequencing the entire TDP1 coding region. Next‑generation sequencing achieves superior variant coverage and diagnostic confidence compared to traditional single‑gene Sanger panels.
| Feature | Our Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Sanger Sequencing / Hotspot Panel |
| Gene Coverage | Full TDP1 gene + flanking intronic regions | Selected exons only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks (often batched) |
| Regulatory Approval | DHA Facility 1143, ISO 9001:2015, UAE PDPL Compliant | Variable, may lack local DHA license |
| Price | 2,800 AED | ~5,400 AED (limited coverage) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant medical geneticist, I emphasize that genetic testing for SCAN1 provides definitive diagnostic clarity, but results must always be interpreted in the context of clinical examination and family history. Importantly, never discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your physician.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration: 9294403)
Safety Advisory & Medication Warning
This genetic test does not require any changes to your current medications. However, do not adjust or stop any prescribed therapy without prior consultation with your treating physician. If you are taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, inform our phlebotomist before sample collection.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion & Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active systemic infection, or inability to provide informed consent. For minors, a legal guardian must consent in compliance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Red Flag – Seek Emergency Care Immediately if you experience: Sudden severe gait deterioration, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), or respiratory distress.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the TDP1 gene and how does this test help diagnose SCAN1?
The TDP1 gene encodes a DNA repair enzyme; mutations in TDP1 cause spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1). This NGS test detects pathogenic variants with near‑complete clinical sensitivity, confirming the diagnosis in symptomatic individuals or carrier status in family members.
2. How should I prepare for the test and what happens during home collection?
No fasting or medication adjustments are required. Our DHA‑licensed phlebotomist will visit your home between 8 AM and 11 PM, draw a small blood sample, and transport it in a validated cold‑chain kit to our laboratory.
3. How long until I receive results and who will explain them?
Results are available in 3–4 weeks. You will receive a comprehensive report and a complementary teleconsultation with our DHA‑licensed medical geneticist, who will explain your genetic findings in plain language.
