MMC Maternal Myopathy with Cardiomyopathy Mutation Detection Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MMC Maternal Myopathy with Cardiomyopathy Mutation Detection Test to identify mutations in specific genes associated with maternal myopathy and cardiomyopathy. This genetic test can provide valuable information about the risk of developing these conditions.
Test Details
The MMC Mutation Detection Test is a specialized genetic test that analyzes a sample of DNA, typically obtained through a blood sample. The test is performed using the PCR method to identify specific genetic mutations associated with MMC. The test is ordered by a cardiologist and is performed in our Molecular Diagnostics department.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the MMC Maternal Myopathy with Cardiomyopathy Mutation Detection Test is 1970.0 AED. The test requires a minimum of 4 mL of whole blood collected in a Lavender top (EDTA) tube. The sample should be shipped refrigerated and should not be frozen. A duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory for the test.
Report Delivery
The sample is required to be delivered by 11 am daily, and the test report will be available within 10 days.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, a duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory.
What is MMC?
MMC, or Maternal Myopathy with Cardiomyopathy, is a rare condition that affects the muscles of pregnant women, causing weakness and fatigue. It is often accompanied by cardiomyopathy, a disease that affects the heart muscle and leads to reduced heart function.
Why is the MMC Mutation Detection Test important?
The MMC Mutation Detection Test is important because it can provide valuable information about the risk of developing maternal myopathy and cardiomyopathy. By identifying specific genetic mutations associated with MMC, the test can help guide treatment options and provide information for family planning.
When is the MMC Mutation Detection Test ordered?
The MMC Mutation Detection Test is not a routine screening test and is only ordered in specific cases where there is a clinical suspicion of MMC. It is typically ordered by a healthcare provider, such as a cardiologist, based on symptoms or family history.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are dedicated to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for the MMC Maternal Myopathy with Cardiomyopathy Mutation Detection Test, please contact our Test Department.

Test Details | The MMC (Maternal Myopathy with Cardiomyopathy) Mutation Detection Test is a genetic test used to identify mutations in specific genes that are associated with maternal myopathy and cardiomyopathy. Maternal myopathy is a rare condition that affects the muscles of pregnant women, causing weakness and fatigue. Cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the heart muscle, leading to reduced heart function. The test involves analyzing a sample of DNA, typically obtained through a blood sample, for specific genetic mutations known to be associated with MMC. These mutations can be inherited from one or both parents or can occur spontaneously. By identifying the specific genetic mutation, the test can provide information about the risk of developing maternal myopathy and cardiomyopathy. It can also help guide treatment options and provide information for family planning. The MMC Mutation Detection Test is typically ordered by a healthcare provider if there is a suspicion of MMC based on symptoms or family history. It is a specialized genetic test that is performed in a laboratory equipped with the necessary equipment and expertise. It is important to note that the MMC Mutation Detection Test is not a screening test and is not routinely performed on all pregnant women. It is only ordered in specific cases where there is a clinical suspicion of MMC. |
