Test Overview & Methodology
This Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region of the TMCO1 gene to detect pathogenic variants associated with craniofacial dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies, and mental retardation syndrome. Clinicians use it for precise diagnosis, genetic counseling, and management planning.
| Feature | Our NGS TMCO1 Test | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene coverage, variant detection >99.9% | Limited to known mutation hotspots |
| Methodology | NGS with bioinformatic confirmation | Sanger sequencing, lower throughput |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | 6โ8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
From Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh (Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403): โEvery genetic finding must be correlated with your full clinical picture. This test provides a powerful clue, but only a detailed neurological examination and family history can turn a result into a personalized care plan. I strongly advise against making any medical decisions based solely on a single laboratory report.โ

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the TMCO1 NGS test used for?
This NGS test detects TMCO1 gene mutations linked to craniofacial, skeletal, and intellectual disability syndromes. It helps confirm the clinical diagnosis and guide family planning and targeted interventions.
2. How is the sample collected and what preparation is needed?
A simple blood draw, one drop of blood on an FTA card, or previously extracted DNA is required. You must attend a pre-test genetic counseling session to draw a detailed pedigree chart of affected family members.
3. What is the cost and how do I get results?
The test costs AED 2800, with results available in 3โ4 weeks through our secure patient portal. A DHA-licensed consultant medical geneticist will provide a post-test telephonic interpretation session included in the price.
