Test Overview & Methodology
This next-generation sequencing test comprehensively analyses the MATN3 gene for mutations associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 5, a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterised by early-onset joint pain and malformations. The high sensitivity of NGS ensures detection of point mutations, small insertions/deletions, and copy number variants across all coding exons and splice sites.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS Panel) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | NGS (Massively Parallel Sequencing) | Single-gene Sanger |
| Coverage | All coding exons, splice sites & CNV detection | Selected exons only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
| Clinical Sensitivity | 99.9% | ~95% (limited to point mutations) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that the MATN3 gene test provides definitive molecular information for diagnosing Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia Type 5. However, clinical correlation with radiological and family history is essential. A negative result does not exclude other forms of skeletal dysplasia, and regular follow-up is recommended. Please discuss all findings with your consulting physician.”

⚠ Advisory: Medication Management
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This genetic test does not replace ongoing medical treatment.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- • Exclusion: Active infection at phlebotomy site; inability to give informed consent (testing for minors requires parental consent per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability).
- • Exclusion: Pregnancy – risk-free, but requires specialized genetic counselling before sampling.
- • Red Flag: Sudden severe joint effusion, locking, or inability to bear weight – seek immediate orthopaedic care; this test is not an emergency diagnostic tool.
- • Red Flag: High fever or systemic signs – may indicate unrelated acute illness; postpone elective genetic sampling.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the MATN3 gene test for?
The MATN3 Genetic Test detects pathogenic mutations in the MATN3 gene causing multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 5, aiding in diagnosis, family planning, and management. It is recommended for individuals with early-onset joint pain, stiffness, and skeletal abnormalities, as well as at-risk relatives.
2. How is the sample collected, and is it painful?
A simple blood draw or a finger-prick dried blood spot on an FTA card is performed by our certified phlebotomist during home collection, ensuring minimal discomfort. For infants, a heel-prick alternative is available; all procedures follow strict aseptic technique. Our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
3. When will I receive my results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks. Our genetic counseling team provides a post-test telephonic session to explain the findings in plain language. Urgent preliminary reports can be requested for time-sensitive clinical decisions.
