Understanding Your Genetic Health: Muscular Dystrophy Gene Panel
When muscle weakness runs in your family or you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the anxiety that comes with not knowing whether you or your loved ones might be affected by muscular dystrophy. Our comprehensive genetic testing provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health and future.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The Muscular Dystrophy Gene Panel is an advanced genetic screening that examines multiple genes associated with various forms of muscular dystrophy. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we can identify genetic mutations that may cause muscle degeneration and weakness. This isn’t just a simple test – it’s a comprehensive analysis that looks at the complex genetic factors behind muscle health.
Our test detects conditions like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, and other inherited muscle disorders. By understanding your genetic profile, you gain valuable insights that can guide your healthcare decisions and family planning.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained muscle weakness or wasting
- Family history of muscular dystrophy or similar conditions
- Difficulty with mobility, climbing stairs, or getting up from chairs
- Planning a family with concerns about inherited conditions
- Unexplained high levels of creatine kinase in blood tests
- Children showing delayed motor milestones
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic conditions that affect their quality of life. Early detection through our panel can help you access appropriate care and support sooner.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health Journey
