Find Clarity for Your Muscle Health Journey
When unexplained muscle weakness affects your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The POMT1 Gene Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2K NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand your condition and take proactive steps toward better health management.
Understanding Your POMT1 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines the POMT1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic testing. The POMT1 gene plays a crucial role in muscle function, and mutations in this gene can lead to limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2K – a condition that affects the muscles around your shoulders and hips.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis with exceptional accuracy, giving you and your healthcare team the information needed to develop an effective management plan.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Progressive muscle weakness in your shoulders, hips, or thighs
- Difficulty rising from chairs or climbing stairs
- Frequent falls or balance problems
- Muscle wasting or decreased muscle mass
- Family history of muscular dystrophy or similar conditions
- Unexplained elevated creatine kinase levels
Early detection through genetic testing can help you access appropriate treatments and support services sooner.

- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty and know exactly what you’re dealing with
- Personalised Care: Work with your neurologist to create a tailored management plan
