Test Overview & Methodology
This NGS single‑gene test analyses the entire coding region of ADAT3 to detect pathogenic variants responsible for autosomal recessive intellectual disability type 36 (MRT36). The assay provides 100% coverage of all exons ±20 bp flanking introns, with variant classification per ACMG/AMP guidelines and Sanger confirmation of all reportable variants.
| Feature | Ours – ADAT3 NGS (Single Gene) | Closest Alternative – Whole Exome Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 100% coverage of ADAT3 exons ±20 bp flanking introns; variant classification per ACMG/AMP 2025 guidelines. | Broader but may miss deep intronic variants; higher incidental findings. |
| Methodology | Targeted NGS with Sanger confirmation of all reportable variants. | WES with varying coverage; Sanger validation often extra. |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks. | 6–10 weeks average. |
| Cost (AED) | 2,800 | 4,500 – 7,500 |

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. This test does not assess medication levels or interactions.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- This genetic test is not suitable for acute neurological emergencies. If the patient experiences sudden regression, uncontrollable seizures, or loss of consciousness, call 998 (UAE ambulance) immediately.
- Inform the phlebotomist of any bleeding disorders or anticoagulant therapy; special precautions may be needed.
- Patients under 18 require consent from a legal guardian, compliant with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the ADAT3 gene and how does it cause intellectual disability?
ADAT3 encodes an enzyme essential for tRNA modification; biallelic loss‑of‑function variants lead to autosomal recessive intellectual disability type 36 (MRT36). This test identifies such pathogenic mutations in the entire gene.
2. What sample is required, what is the turnaround time, and how much does it cost?
A simple blood sample is collected via certified home phlebotomy; results are delivered in 3–4 weeks at 2,800 AED. Price includes a genetic counselling session and a full clinical report.
3. How should I prepare for this genetic test?
A pre‑genetic counselling session is mandatory to draw a family pedigree and discuss implications; no fasting or medication changes are needed. Bring all previous neurological reports.
