Test Details
FKTN gene is associated with Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), which is a rare genetic disorder that affects muscle function and brain development. FCMD is caused by mutations in the FKTN gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called fukutin. This protein is involved in the development and maintenance of muscle cells and the brain.
NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing is a diagnostic tool used to identify mutations in genes associated with genetic disorders. NGS can analyze multiple genes simultaneously, making it a useful tool for identifying the genetic cause of complex disorders like FCMD.
NGS genetic testing for FCMD involves analyzing the FKTN gene to identify mutations that may be causing the disorder. This test can help diagnose FCMD in individuals who are experiencing symptoms of the disorder, such as muscle weakness, delayed motor development, and intellectual disability.
Early diagnosis of FCMD through NGS genetic testing can help individuals and their families better understand the disorder and make informed decisions about treatment and management options. It can also help identify carriers of the mutation, which can inform family planning decisions.
