الملخص التنفيذي
يُقدم هذا التحليل الوراثي المعتمد من هيئة الصحة بدبي أعلى درجات الدقة في تشخيص طفرات جين DNAL4 المرتبطة بحركات المرآة الخلقية، مع خدمات منزلية متكاملة واستشارة طبية ما بعد الفحص.
Overview
This next-generation sequencing (NGS) test examines the entire coding region of the DNAL4 gene to detect pathogenic variants responsible for congenital mirror movements type 3 (CMM3). The assay provides definitive molecular confirmation for patients with bilateral, involuntary synkinetic hand movements, guiding neurological management and family planning. يُستخدم هذا الفحص للكشف عن التغيرات الجينية المسببة لحركات المرآة الخلقية من النوع الثالث.
| Feature | Our Test (DNAL4 NGS – DNA Hub) | Closest Alternative (Whole Exome Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Targeted deep sequencing of DNAL4 gene, >100x coverage | Broad exome-wide analysis, lower per-gene coverage |
| Methodology | Illumina NovaSeq NGS, Sanger confirmation | Same NGS platform but data filtered for multiple genes |
| Turnaround Time | 3-4 Weeks | 6-8 Weeks |
| Interpretation | Gene-specific clinical report with DNAL4 variant classification | Incidental findings possible, may require additional counselling |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a neurologist, I firmly believe that genetic testing for mirror movements must be integrated with a thorough clinical examination and neuroimaging. A positive result does not always predict severity, and patients should never self-interpret results. Genetic counselling is mandatory to understand inheritance and prognosis.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License: 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue any prescribed neurological medication without consulting your physician. Stopping medications abruptly can lead to dangerous withdrawal or worsening of symptoms.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Test Exclusion Criteria:
- Acute febrile illness or systemic infection (reschedule).
- Inability to provide informed consent.
- Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks) – may interfere with germline DNA analysis.
Seek Emergency Care If:
- Sudden loss of coordination or new neurological deficit.
- Severe, unrelenting headache with vomiting.
- Rapid progression of mirror movements interfering with daily function.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the DNAL4 gene mirror movements type 3 test used for?
This targeted Genetic Test is indicated for children and adults with involuntary symmetry of hand movements, helping neurologists distinguish CMM3 from other movement disorders and guide genetic counselling.
يُستخدم هذا الفحص الجيني لتأكيد تشخيص اضطراب الحركات المرآتية الخلقي من النوع الثالث عبر رصد الطفرات في جين DNAL4، مما يساعد الأطباء على توجيه العلاج والاستشارة الوراثية.
2. How is the sample collected and what preparation is required?
A simple blood draw, FTA card finger-prick, or previously extracted DNA sample is required, with a mandatory pre-test genetic counselling session to draw a family pedigree. No fasting is needed, but patients must provide detailed clinical history of mirror movements.
يتم جمع العينة عن طريق سحب دم بسيط أو بطاقة FTA مع جلسة استشارة وراثية إلزامية لرسم شجرة العائلة، ولا يشترط الصيام قبل الفحص.
3. What is the turnaround time and cost, and is it covered by insurance in UAE?
Standard reporting time is 3-4 weeks from sample receipt, priced at 2800 AED, with direct insurance billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. The is ISO 9001:2015 certified and accepted by major UAE insurers under neurological genetic testing coverage.
