Test Overview & Methodology
The LMNA gene NGS test screens for pathogenic variants causing Heart‑Hand syndrome, Slovenian type – a rare dysmorphology disorder characterised by congenital cardiac anomalies and radial ray limb defects. This advanced next‑generation sequencing technology identifies even low‑frequency mutations, guiding accurate diagnosis, management, and reproductive planning.

| Gene Coverage | Complete LMNA gene (all exons, intron‑exon boundaries) | Limited to known hotspots |
| Sensitivity | 99.9% | ~95% |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 4–6 Weeks |
| Price | 2800 AED | Often higher with limited insurance |
| DHA/MOHAP Compliance | Fully Licensed Facility: 1143 | Variable |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a clinical geneticist, I emphasise that comprehensive genetic testing for Heart‑Hand syndrome must always be paired with thorough clinical phenotyping and multidisciplinary evaluation. The LMNA NGS test provides a high-resolution molecular blueprint, but results should be interpreted in the context of echocardiography, skeletal survey, and family history. Pre‑ and post‑test genetic counselling is mandatory to ensure informed decision‑making and optimal patient outcomes."

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medications (beta‑blockers, diuretics, antiarrhythmics, or anticoagulants) without consulting your treating physician. This test does not replace ongoing cardiac surveillance.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Unable to provide informed consent – genetic testing on minors mandates consent from legal guardian (UAE Child Protection Law, 2026).
- Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks) that may compromise DNA purity.
- Active severe haemophilia or uncontrolled bleeding diathesis – relative contraindication for venipuncture.
- Individuals who decline pre‑test genetic counselling.
- ER Red Flags: Sudden chest pain, palpitations, fainting, cyanosis (bluish skin), severe breathlessness, or signs of heart failure (swelling, rapid breathing) – seek emergency medical care immediately, this test does not treat acute symptoms.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the LMNA gene heart‑hand syndrome test and why is it performed?
15‑second summary: This NGS‑based test analyses the entire LMNA gene to detect pathogenic variants linked to Heart‑Hand syndrome, Slovenian type, enabling precise diagnosis, early intervention, and family genetic counselling.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the expected turnaround time?
15‑second summary: A trained phlebotomist collects a blood sample at your home via our VIP mobile service; extracted DNA or a dry blood spot on FTA card is also accepted, with results in 3 to 4 weeks using NGS technology.
3. Will my health insurance cover this genetic test?
15‑second summary: Many UAE insurers cover diagnostic genetic testing when medically necessary; our team performs direct billing verification before collection via WhatsApp +971 54 548 8731.
