Find Clarity About Muscle Weakness with MYOT Gene Testing
When unexplained muscle weakness affects your daily life, or when you worry about family history of muscle disorders, finding answers becomes essential. Our MYOT Gene Spheroid Body Myopathy NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and understanding.
Understanding Your MYOT Gene Test
The MYOT gene produces a protein called myotilin that helps maintain the structure of muscle fibres. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to spheroid body myopathy – a rare muscle disorder characterised by progressive muscle weakness. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your MYOT gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle genetic changes that could be causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive muscle weakness that started in adulthood
- Difficulty with walking, climbing stairs, or rising from chairs
- Family history of muscle disorders or myopathy
- Unexplained muscle stiffness or cramping
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
Early genetic testing can provide crucial information for managing your condition and making informed health decisions.

Getting a definitive diagnosis through MYOT gene testing offers multiple life-changing benefits:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond uncertainty with a clear genetic diagnosis
- Personalised Care: Guide your neurologist in developing targeted treatment plans
