Test Overview
This Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test analyses the entire coding sequence of the PRKCG gene to identify pathogenic variants associated with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 14 (SCA14), an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder. It is the definitive molecular diagnostic tool for patients with progressive ataxia and a family history suggestive of SCA14, enabling accurate prognosis, family risk assessment, and personalized management.
| Feature | Our Test (PRKCG NGS) | Closest Alternative (Whole Exome Sequencing) |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Targeted NGS with full exon coverage & Sanger validation | Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) |
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for PRKCG variants | May incidentally detect SCA14 but lower depth of coverage |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 8–12 weeks typical |
| Cost-Effectiveness | 2800 AED – focused, no incidental findings | Often >5000 AED, with complex interpretation |
| Clinical Actionability | Direct diagnosis & family counselling | Requires secondary confirmation & additional tests |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a neurologist, I understand the profound anxiety that accompanies genetic testing for hereditary ataxias. This PRKCG NGS test offers families definitive molecular answers, but it is crucial to interpret results within the full clinical picture—symptoms, imaging, and pedigree. I strongly recommend pre- and post-test genetic counselling to navigate the emotional and medical implications.”
— Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License No. 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue or adjust any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. Genetic test results are not a substitute for ongoing neurological care.
Patient Safety: Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Inability to provide informed consent; severe cognitive or psychiatric impairment that limits understanding of genetic implications; minors must have legal guardian consent per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- Emergency Red Flags: Rapid progression of ataxia with loss of independent ambulation within weeks, acute vision loss, severe dysphagia, or respiratory distress — seek immediate emergency medical attention.
Patient FAQ – Clinical Guidance
Q: How does this PRKCG genetic test confirm spinocerebellar ataxia type 14?
This test sequences the entire coding region of the PRKCG gene to detect pathogenic variants causing autosomal dominant SCA14, delivering a definitive molecular diagnosis that clarifies prognosis and family risk. يقوم هذا الاختبار بتحليل كامل المنطقة المشفّرة لجين PRKCG للكشف عن الطفرات المسببة للمرض، مما يقدم تشخيصاً جينياً دقيقاً للرنح الوراثي السائد.
Q: What is the turnaround time for results and how are they delivered?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt, and are delivered through a secure online portal with a comprehensive clinical report, followed by an optional telephonic consultation with a genetic counsellor. تتوفر النتائج عادةً في غضون 3 إلى 4 أسابيع من استلام العينة، ويتم تسليمها عبر بوابة إلكترونية آمنة مع تقرير سريري شامل، يليه استشارة هاتفية اختيارية مع مستشار وراثي.
Q: Is home sample collection available for this test in the UAE?
Yes, our DHA-licensed mobile phlebotomy team provides hospital-grade home blood collection across all emirates, using ISO-certified cold-chain transport, available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. نعم، يقدم فريقنا المرخص من هيئة الصحة بدبي خدمة سحب الدم المنزلي على أعلى مستوى في جميع الإمارات، باستخدام نقل مبرد معتمد من الآيزو، متاح يومياً من 8 صباحاً حتى 11 مساءً.
