Protect Your Baby’s Future with DMD/BMD Prenatal Screening
As expectant parents in South Africa, you deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing your baby’s genetic health. Our DMD/BMD Mutation Screening (26 Exons) Prenatal Test is designed specifically to detect muscular dystrophy conditions early, giving you the information you need to make the best decisions for your family’s future.
Understanding Your DMD/BMD Prenatal Screening
This comprehensive genetic test examines all 26 exons of the dystrophin gene – the complete genetic blueprint that, when mutated, can cause Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) or Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD). Using advanced Multiplex End Point PCR technology, we achieve 99% accuracy in detecting these life-altering conditions before birth.
The test requires samples of amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or cord blood, collected by qualified healthcare professionals across South Africa. Our sterile collection containers and precise methodology ensure reliable results you can trust.
Who Should Consider This Prenatal Screening?
This test is particularly important for:
- Families with a history of muscular dystrophy
- Parents who are known carriers of DMD/BMD mutations
- Couples concerned about genetic conditions in their family history
- Expectant mothers with abnormal ultrasound findings
- Families seeking comprehensive prenatal genetic information
Early detection allows for better preparation, specialized care planning, and informed decision-making about your pregnancy journey.

- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about muscular dystrophy risks
- Informed Decisions: Make the best choices for your family’s future
