Find Clarity for Unexplained Muscle Weakness
When your body doesn’t feel right and muscle weakness affects your daily life, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SELENON Gene Myopathy with Fibre-Type Disproportion NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you’ve been searching for, giving you the power to understand your condition and make informed decisions about your health.
Understanding Your Test: What We’re Looking For
This specialised genetic test examines the SELENON gene, which plays a crucial role in muscle development and function. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to a specific type of congenital myopathy characterised by fibre-type disproportion – where different types of muscle fibres develop unevenly. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides comprehensive analysis of this gene, ensuring we don’t miss any potential mutations that could be causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Unexplained muscle weakness from infancy or childhood
- Delayed motor milestones (sitting, standing, walking)
- Difficulty with physical activities compared to peers
- Muscle fatigue that seems disproportionate to activity level
- Family history of similar muscle conditions
- Previous inconclusive muscle biopsy results
Many patients have told us how relieved they felt finally having a name for what they’ve been experiencing – that moment of clarity can be life-changing.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters for Your Health
Getting an accurate diagnosis isn’t just about putting a name to your symptoms – it’s about opening doors to appropriate management and treatment. With a confirmed SELENON gene myopathy diagnosis, you can:
- Access targeted physical therapy and rehabilitation programmes
- Receive proper genetic counselling for family planning
- Connect with specialists who understand your specific condition
- Participate in appropriate clinical trials and research
- Make informed decisions about your future health management
Early detection means you can take proactive steps to manage your condition effectively.
