Understanding Centronuclear Myopathy and Your Genetic Health
If you or your loved ones are experiencing unexplained muscle weakness, delayed motor development, or have a family history of muscle disorders, you understand the uncertainty and concern that comes with not knowing the cause. Centronuclear myopathy is a rare genetic condition that affects muscle function, and the MTMR14 gene test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically identifies mutations in the MTMR14 gene, which is responsible for centronuclear myopathy type 1. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to detect even the smallest genetic variations that could indicate this inherited muscle condition.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness, especially in the face, neck, and limbs
- Delayed motor milestones in infants and children
- Difficulty with feeding or breathing in severe cases
- Family history of muscle disorders or unexplained muscle problems
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to future children
Why Early Detection Matters
Understanding your genetic status empowers you to:
- Receive accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical management
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Access specialised care and support services
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers
- Participate in ongoing research and clinical trials
