Overview

The UQCRQ Gene NGS Test identifies pathogenic variants in the UQCRQ gene responsible for mitochondrial complex III deficiency, a rare inherited disorder causing progressive neurological and multi-system symptoms. This comprehensive Next Generation Sequencing assay covers the entire coding region with high depth, optimized for the UAE’s diverse genetic background.

يُعد اختبار جين UQCRQ بتقنية التسلسل من الجيل التالي فحصاً جينياً متطوراً لتشخيص نقص المركب الثالث في الميتوكوندريا، وهو اضطراب وراثي نادر يسبب أعراضاً عصبية متقدمة، وهو متاح في الإمارات وفق أعلى المعايير.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol

“As a clinical geneticist, I emphasize that while this NGS test provides highly accurate detection of UQCRQ variants, a positive result must always be interpreted in the context of a comprehensive clinical evaluation and genetic counseling. A negative result does not exclude mitochondrial disease, and further investigations may be needed. My team and I are committed to guiding you through every step of this complex journey.”

Important Medication Notice

Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic test results are not a substitute for clinical management; always follow your treating physician’s advice.

Patient Safety: Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

Exclusion Criteria for Home Collection:

  • Active febrile illness (temperature ≥38°C) within 24 hours of collection.
  • Acute neurological crisis (seizure, status epilepticus, stroke-like episode).
  • Known active infection or immunosuppressive therapy that might interfere with sample integrity.
  • Patient unable to provide informed consent or lacking a legally authorized representative.

ER Red Flags – Seek Immediate Medical Attention if:

  • Sudden worsening of muscle weakness or loss of consciousness.
  • Severe lactic acidosis symptoms: rapid breathing, confusion, vomiting.
  • Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or severe headache.
  • New-onset seizures or prolonged focal neurological deficits.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

What is the purpose of the UQCRQ gene NGS test, and who should consider it?

This test detects mutations in the UQCRQ gene causing mitochondrial complex III deficiency, which may present with progressive neurological decline, myopathy, and metabolic crises; individuals with a family history or unexplained multisystem symptoms should consider genetic screening. Our NGS platform assesses all coding exons and splice sites to provide a definitive molecular diagnosis, guiding targeted management and family planning. In the UAE, the test is especially relevant for consanguineous families where recessive disorders are more frequent.

الغرض من هذا الاختبار هو الكشف عن الطفرات في جين UQCRQ المرتبطة بنقص المركب الثالث في الميتوكوندريا، ويُنصح به للأفراد الذين يعانون من أعراض عصبية أو عضلية غير مفسرة، خاصة مع تاريخ عائلي إيجابي.

How is the sample collected, and why does the take 3-4 weeks?

A certified phlebotomist collects a small volume of whole blood via venipuncture during a home visit, or you may submit pre-extracted DNA on an FTA card; the 3-4 week turnaround ensures comprehensive NGS sequencing, bioinformatic analysis, manual variant classification, and a clinical report reviewed by our medical team. This rigorous process meets ISO 9001:2015 standards and UAE regulatory requirements, guaranteeing accuracy for life-altering clinical decisions.

يتم جمع العينة عبر سحب الدم في المنزل بواسطة ممرض معتمد، ويستغرق الاختبار من 3 إلى 4 أسابيع لضمان تحليل متكامل للجين كاملاً ومراجعة التقرير من قبل المختصين.

Will my insurance cover the 2800 AED cost, and how do I verify?

Many UAE insurance plans cover genetic testing when medically justified; we provide direct billing verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731—simply send your insurance card and the referring physician’s request, and our team will confirm coverage within hours. For out-of-pocket payments, a detailed invoice with ICD-10 coding is issued to facilitate reimbursement claims. We strictly adhere to UAE PDPL for data privacy.
