Test Overview & Methodology
The MTAP Gene Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyzes the entire coding region and conserved splice sites of the MTAP gene. It detects pathogenic variants associated with diaphyseal medullary stenosis and predisposition to malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Early identification empowers proactive oncological surveillance and personalized risk management for patients and their families.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics specialist practicing in the UAE, I strongly advise that hereditary cancer genetic testing results must be interpreted strictly within the context of personal and family medical history. A negative result does not eliminate the possibility of hereditary cancer syndromes. It is essential to discuss all results with your referring physician or a qualified genetic counselor before making any changes to your medical management or lifestyle.”
— Dr. Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA License: 9294403
Clinical Advisory & Exclusion Criteria
⚠️ Medication & Clinical Caution
Do not discontinue or alter prescribed medication or surveillance schedules based solely on genetic test results. This test provides hereditary risk assessment and is not a substitute for routine clinical oncology diagnostics or imaging. Always consult your treating physician before making medical decisions.
Exclusion Criteria
- This test is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age without explicit legal guardian consent, compliant with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- It is not suitable as a general population screening tool for sarcoma or medullary stenosis.
- Testing is contraindicated if informed consent cannot be obtained, or if the submitted sample does not meet quality standards for NGS analysis.
Seek emergency care immediately if you experience unexplained bone pain, pathological fracture, or the sudden appearance of new skin or soft tissue masses.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the MTAP gene test and why is it important?
The MTAP gene NGS test detects mutations linked to hereditary diaphyseal stenosis and malignant fibrous histiocytoma, enabling preventive monitoring. This comprehensive analysis helps clinicians assess lifetime sarcoma risk, guide surveillance with imaging, and inform family members about potential inherited predisposition. Early detection through this test drastically improves management outcomes.
2. Who should consider this test?
Individuals diagnosed with diaphyseal medullary stenosis or malignant fibrous histiocytoma should urgently consider MTAP gene testing. Additional candidates include those with a strong family history of early-onset bone sarcoma, multiple bone infarcts, or unexplained medullary abnormalities on imaging. A genetic counseling session will help determine eligibility and insurance coverage.
3. How are samples collected and what is the process?
Our certified phlebotomist collects a standard whole blood sample or buccal swab at your home via VIP Mobile Phlebotomy. We offer flexible collection options including standard venipuncture, buccal swab, or submission of previously extracted DNA. An appointment-based pre-test genetic counseling session is mandatory to ensure informed consent, as required by UAE regulations. Samples are transported via temperature-controlled cold-chain logistics directly to our ISO 9001:2015 accredited laboratory in Dubai Healthcare City.
