Test Overview & Methodology
The MPZ gene (Myelin Protein Zero) mutation analysis for DI-CMTD (Dominant Intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease) employs next-generation sequencing targeting the full coding regions, intronic boundaries, and copy number variations. This comprehensive approach delivers 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity for MPZ-related neuropathies, making it the gold standard for genetic subtyping. The test is performed on peripheral whole blood samples collected under strict chain-of-custody protocols.
| Feature | Our MPZ NGS Test | Nearest Alternative (Whole Exome) |

| Targeted Gene | Full MPZ gene sequencing & copy number analysis | MPZ captured within broad exome (no focused depth) |
| Sensitivity | 99.9% for exon/intron variants | ~95% due to coverage gaps |
| Turnaround | 3‑4 weeks (express available) | 8‑12 weeks |
| Pre‑ & Post‑Test Support | Genetic counselling + pedigree charting included | Often minimal or separate fee |
| Price | 2800 AED | 3500‑5000 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA 9294403), I confirm that the MPZ gene NGS test provides high-resolution analysis for dominant intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. However, a negative result does not rule out other genetic or acquired neuropathies. Clinical correlation, nerve conduction studies, and pedigree analysis are essential. Genetic counselling before and after testing is strongly recommended for patients and at-risk family members.” – Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics
Advisory: Genetic Counselling and Informed Consent
Per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability, informed consent must be obtained before genetic testing. This test requires mandatory pre-test genetic counselling to discuss implications for the patient and biological relatives. Post-test counselling is included to interpret results and guide management.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Minors under 18 years without legal guardian consent (per Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019).
- Pregnancy is not a contraindication, but obstetric genetic counselling is advised.
- If you experience sudden muscle weakness, respiratory difficulty, or vision loss, seek emergency care immediately.
- Samples cannot be accepted from non-standard sites or without proper patient identification.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the MPZ Gene DI-CMTD NGS test diagnose?
This test detects mutations in the MPZ gene responsible for dominant intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and related hereditary neuropathies. The comprehensive NGS analysis identifies deep intronic and copy number variants that may be missed by standard panels, enabling definitive diagnosis and tailored management plans.
2. How do I prepare for the sample collection?
Mandatory pre-test genetic counselling with pedigree charting is required before blood draw; no fasting is needed. Our certified phlebotomist will collect a small blood sample at your home via VIP mobile phlebotomy, with full ISO-certified cold-chain handling. Samples are accepted daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. How long until I receive results, and what support is included?
Results are dispatched in three to four weeks, with express options available. The package includes post-test teleconsultation with a genetic specialist, a detailed genetic report, interpretive guidance, and recommendations for family screening under DHA-regulated protocols.
