Understanding MTM1 Gene Myotubular Myopathy: Your Path to Clarity and Control
When muscle weakness affects your child or runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our MTM1 Gene NGS DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and make informed healthcare decisions for your family’s future.
What This Test Reveals About Your Genetic Health
The MTM1 gene test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the MTM1 gene responsible for X-linked myotubular myopathy. This rare genetic condition primarily affects males and causes severe muscle weakness from birth. By detecting these genetic changes, we can provide clarity about diagnosis, inheritance patterns, and family planning options.
