Test Details
The DMD gene, also known as the dystrophin gene, is associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Both DMD and BMD are inherited muscle-wasting disorders caused by mutations in the DMD gene.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously, including the DMD gene. This test can identify various types of mutations in the DMD gene, such as deletions, duplications, point mutations, and small insertions or deletions.
NGS genetic testing for the DMD gene can be used to diagnose DMD or BMD, determine carrier status in females, and provide genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. It can also help in prenatal diagnosis for families at risk of having a child with DMD or BMD.
NGS genetic testing for the DMD gene typically involves obtaining a blood or saliva sample from the individual being tested. The DNA in the sample is then extracted and sequenced using NGS technology. The resulting sequence data is analyzed to identify any mutations or variants in the DMD gene.
This type of genetic testing can provide valuable information for the management and treatment of individuals with DMD or BMD, as well as for family planning decisions. It is usually performed by specialized genetic testing laboratories or genetic clinics.
