Overview
This next‑generation sequencing test comprehensively analyzes the ETFA gene to diagnose multiple acyl‑CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD/glutaric acidemia type II), a rare inherited metabolic disorder. Delivered by our ISO 9001:2015‑certified genomics lab, the test offers 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity, results in 3–4 weeks, and equips physicians to design personalized dietary and therapeutic strategies.
| Feature | Our NGS Test | Traditional Sanger Sequencing |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity & full exon coverage + CNV | ~95% for point mutations; can miss large deletions |
| Method | NGS (Illumina® platform, bioinformatic variant filtering) | Sanger sequencing of coding regions only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
"Genetic testing can feel overwhelming. As a clinician, I encourage you to view this ETFA analysis as a vital clue, not a standalone verdict. Always correlate the molecular findings with your clinical picture and biochemical markers; a positive result opens the door to lifesaving dietary modifications and family planning, so please discuss all outcomes with a metabolic specialist."

⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active metabolic decompensation (hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, hyperammonemia) requiring urgent stabilization.
- Exclusion: Severe coagulopathy or haemodynamic instability – obtain medical clearance before blood draw.
- Red Flag: Seek immediate emergency care if you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, confusion, lethargy, or seizures – these may signal acute metabolic crisis.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: What is the clinical utility of ETFA gene testing?
A: ETFA gene sequencing identifies disease‑causing mutations in the ETFA gene, guiding precise diagnosis, personalized dietary management, and family cascade screening for multiple acyl‑CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
س: ما هي الفائدة السريرية لفحص جين ETFA؟
ج: يحدد تسلسل جين ETFA الطفرات المسببة للمرض، مما يوجّه التشخيص الدقيق والإدارة الغذائية الشخصية وفحص أفراد العائلة.
Q: How should I prepare for the blood draw, and is fasting required?
A: No fasting is needed; simply stay hydrated and provide your detailed clinical history and pedigree chart during the pre‑test genetic counselling session included before collection.
س: كيف أستعد لسحب الدم وهل يلزم الصيام؟
ج: لا يلزم الصيام؛ فقط حافظ على ترطيب الجسم وقدم تاريخك السريري المفصل وشجرة العائلة خلال جلسة الاستشارة الوراثية قبل السحب.
Q: Can this test be performed on a child or infant?
A: Yes, under UAE CDS Law 2026 a legal guardian’s consent and pre‑test counselling are mandatory for minors; the uses a single drop of blood on an FTA card if venous access is difficult.
س: هل يمكن إجراء الفحص لطفل أو رضيع؟
ج: نعم، بموجب قانون CDS 2026 لا بد من موافقة الوصي القانوني وجلسة استشارة قبل الفحص للقُصّر، ويمكن استخدام قطرة دم على بطاقة FTA عند صعوبة الوريد.
