Test Overview & Methodology
This next‑generation sequencing test analyses the entire coding region of the COQ9 gene to confirm primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency type 5, an autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorder that typically presents with infantile‑onset encephalopathy, seizures, ataxia, and muscle weakness. Early molecular diagnosis enables targeted management with CoQ10 supplementation and supportive care.

| Method | Illumina NovaSeq X Plus, ISO 9001:2015 | Sanger sequencing (limited resolution) |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Geneticist, I emphasize that a genetic result alone does not define a patient’s future; clinical correlation with symptoms, biochemical markers, and family history is essential. This test provides a molecular foundation for a tailored therapeutic approach, but it must always be interpreted within the broader clinical context. I encourage every patient to discuss their results with a multidisciplinary team including a genetic counsellor and metabolic specialist.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Advisory: Medication & Supplement Precautions
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or start Coenzyme Q10 supplementation without consulting your doctor. Abrupt changes may provoke metabolic decompensation.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Newborns under 28 days with severe metabolic instability require prior hospital‑based stabilisation before sample collection.
- Red Flag: If the patient develops acute encephalopathy, refractory seizures, or severe lactic acidosis within the waiting period, seek emergency medical care immediately.
- Contraindication: This test cannot rule out all forms of CoQ10 deficiency; negative results do not exclude other mitochondrial disorders.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How long does the COQ9 NGS test take and what does the price include?
The test reports within 3 to 4 weeks, inclusive of genetic counselling, home blood collection, and a tele‑health interpretation session. The 2800 AED fee covers sample transport, ISO‑certified NGS analysis, Sanger confirmation, and a detailed clinical report.
2. What sample is required for the COQ9 test?
A single venous blood draw (3‑5 mL in EDTA tube) or a dried blood spot card is sufficient; our phlebotomist can perform the collection at your home. For home collection, VIP Mobile Phlebotomy is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. Is this covered by UAE health insurance?
Yes, many UAE insurance plans cover genetic testing for suspected mitochondrial disorders when pre‑authorised. Use our WhatsApp (+971 54 548 8731) for direct billing verification before booking.
