Overview
This Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire DMD gene for deletions, duplications, and point mutations causing Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)—a devastating X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorder primarily affecting boys. (تحليل جين دي إم دي يكشف الطفرات المسببة للحثل العضلي الدوشيني). Our 2026-compliant methodology combines deep sequencing with advanced copy number variant (CNV) algorithms, delivering a diagnostic yield >99% for coding variants, outperforming traditional MLPA-only approaches that miss approximately 30% of point mutations.
| Test Feature | Our NGS + CNV Test (This Test) | Standard MLPA (Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Detection Coverage | Full gene sequencing + exon-level deletions/duplications | Deletion/duplication screening only; misses ~30% of pathogenic point mutations |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 2–4 Weeks |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | >99% for all variant types combined | Approx. 70% for DMD |
| Sample Flexibility | Whole blood, extracted DNA, or one drop blood on FTA card | Whole blood required |

Note from Dr. Prabhakar Reddy (DHA License: 61713011): As a neurologist, I cannot overstate that a DMD genetic result is life-altering. A positive finding must be correlated with clinical presentation, creatine kinase levels, and family history—never interpreted in isolation. Even with a negative NGS result, dystrophinopathies or limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are not excluded; a muscle biopsy may still be indicated. Please involve a genetic counselor and a pediatric neurologist from the moment testing is considered.
🚨 Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including corticosteroids or cardiac therapies, without consulting your physician. Corticosteroids can influence CPK levels and may mask clinical symptoms.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not suitable for patients who received bone marrow transplant or recent blood transfusion (within 14 days) due to donor DNA contamination.
- If the child develops acute respiratory difficulty, severe muscle weakness with frequent falls, or cardiac symptoms (palpitations, chest pain, syncope), go to the nearest emergency department immediately—do not await test results.
- Prenatal DMD testing is allowed only after a genetic counseling session and mandatory informed consent as per UAE CDS Law 2026 (Minors & Vulnerable Populations).
- Test results must be disclosed by a qualified healthcare professional; direct-to-consumer reporting is not permitted under Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024, Art. 87.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: How accurate is this NGS test for diagnosing Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in children? (ما مدى دقة هذا الاختبار الجيني لتشخيص الحثل العضلي الدوشيني عند الأطفال؟)
Snippet: Our 2026 ACMG-aligned NGS panel achieves 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity for all pathogenic DMD variants, covering single nucleotide variants, insertions/deletions, and large copy number changes.
Q: Can I use a buccal swab or just a drop of blood on a card instead of a full blood draw? (هل يمكنني استخدام مسحة فموية أو قطرة دم على بطاقة FTA بدلاً من سحب الدم الكامل؟)
Snippet: Yes, we accept whole blood in EDTA, extracted DNA, or one dried blood spot on an FTA card—cold-chain logistics are maintained for all sample types during home collection.
Q: How long do results take, and what support is provided after the test? (كم يستغرق الحصول على النتائج، وما الدعم المتوفر بعد الاختبار؟)
Snippet: Turnaround time is 3–4 weeks; you receive a telephonic post- genetic counseling session with a certified counselor fluent in Arabic and English, and a comprehensive clinical report.
