الملخص التنفيذي: نضمن حساسية تشخيصية بنسبة 99.9% لاختبار جين SMN1 باستخدام تقنية التسلسل الجيني من الجيل التالي (NGS) المعتمدة وفق شهادة ISO 9001:2015، مع خدمة سحب منزلي على مستوى المستشفى وإرشاد وراثي هاتفي بعد الفحص.
Overview
The SMN1 gene NGS test definitively diagnoses Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 (SMA Type 2) by analyzing the survival motor neuron 1 gene for deletions/mutations. (يقوم اختبار جين SMN1 بتشخيص ضمور العضلات الشوكي من النوع الثاني عبر الكشف عن طفرات الجين.) Our UAE laboratory delivers results in 3–4 weeks with unmatched accuracy and full genetic counselling support.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011) – Pediatric Neurologist & Clinical Geneticist: “Every SMA Type 2 genetic result must be interpreted alongside clinical presentation and family history. This NGS assay offers the highest resolution for confirming the diagnosis and guiding proactive care decisions. I strongly recommend a certified genetic counselling session before and after testing to fully understand the implications for your child and family.”
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication (e.g., nusinersen, risdiplam) or supportive therapies without explicit consultation with your treating physician. This genetic test is a diagnostic tool and must never replace ongoing clinical management.
🛡️ Patient Safety – Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Inability to provide informed consent (Minors require legal guardian consent per UAE CDS Law 2026). Samples not collected according to our ISO cold‑chain protocol will be rejected.
- ER Red Flags – Seek Immediate Emergency Care if: The patient develops acute respiratory distress, severe hypotonia (“floppy” appearance worsening rapidly), or swallowing difficulties leading to choking or aspiration. This genetic test is not for acute emergencies; proceed directly to the nearest hospital if these signs appear.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the SMN1 gene test for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 detect?
ماذا يكشف اختبار جين SMN1 لضمور العضلات الشوكي من النوع الثاني؟
Snippet‑optimized answer: The SMN1 NGS test identifies homozygous deletions, point mutations, and copy number variations in the SMN1 gene that cause SMA Type 2, confirming the diagnosis with nearly 100% accuracy.
Paired with genetic counselling, it also reveals carrier status in family members, guiding reproductive options and early intervention planning.
2. How is the test performed and what are the sample requirements?
كيف يُجرى الاختبار وما هي متطلبات العينة؟
Snippet‑optimized answer: A certified phlebotomist collects a whole blood sample, extracted DNA, or a single drop of blood on an FTA card during our home visit, ensuring strict cold‑chain transport.
No fasting or medication adjustments are required. A genetic counselling session is recommended before collection to document family history.
3. Why is genetic counselling essential for this test?
لماذا يعتبر الإرشاد الوراثي ضرورياً لهذا الاختبار؟
Snippet‑optimized answer: Genetic counselling translates complex SMN1 results into actionable clinical and family decisions, ensuring you understand inheritance risks, carrier probabilities, and available treatment or support pathways.
Our DHA‑licensed counsellors provide pre‑ and post‑ sessions via secure tele‑consultation, fully compliant with UAE PDPL data privacy requirements.
