Find Clarity About Your Muscle Weakness with ACTA1 Gene Myopathy Testing
Living with unexplained muscle weakness can be frightening and isolating. When your shoulders, arms, and legs don’t work as they should, it affects every aspect of your life. Our ACTA1 Gene Myopathy DNA test provides the answers you’ve been searching for, giving you the power to understand your condition and plan for your future with confidence.
Understanding Your ACTA1 Gene Myopathy Test
This advanced genetic test examines your ACTA1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein essential for muscle function. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to scapulohumeroperoneal myopathy – a condition affecting your shoulder blades (scapula), upper arms (humerus), and lower legs (peroneal region). Our Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, detecting even subtle genetic changes that might be missed by other methods.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness in shoulders, arms, or lower legs
- “Winging” shoulder blades that protrude from your back
- Difficulty raising your arms above your head
- Foot drop or trouble lifting your feet when walking
- Family history of similar muscle conditions
- Unexplained muscle wasting or atrophy
Early detection can help you access appropriate treatments and management strategies sooner.
