FLNC Gene Myopathy distal type 4 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the FLNC Gene Myopathy distal type 4 Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is designed to diagnose FLNC gene myopathy, distal type 4, a rare genetic disorder that affects the muscles.
Test Details
FLNC gene myopathy, distal type 4, is caused by mutations in the FLNC gene, which produces the filamin C protein. This protein is essential for maintaining the structure and function of muscle cells. Our test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive and efficient analysis of genetic variations, including mutations in the FLNC gene.
Sample Collection
To perform the FLNC Gene Myopathy distal type 4 Genetic Test, we require a DNA sample. This can be obtained through a blood or saliva sample. Alternatively, one drop of blood on an FTA Card is also acceptable.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type
The FLNC Gene Myopathy distal type 4 Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders.
Doctor and Test Department
This test is conducted by our experienced Neurologist in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the FLNC Gene Myopathy distal type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with FLNC Gene Myopathy, distal type 4.
Importance of NGS Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing allows for a more comprehensive analysis of genetic variations, enabling accurate diagnosis of FLNC gene myopathy, distal type 4. The results of this test not only confirm the diagnosis but also provide information about the specific genetic mutation causing the condition. This information can be valuable for genetic counseling, family planning, and guiding treatment decisions.
Availability and Interpretation of Results
It is important to note that NGS genetic testing may not be available in all healthcare settings and may require specialized laboratories or genetic testing centers. Additionally, the interpretation of genetic test results should be done by a healthcare professional with expertise in genetics to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of the condition.

Test Details |
FLNC gene myopathy, distal type 4, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the muscles. It is caused by mutations in the FLNC gene, which provides instructions for producing a protein called filamin C. This protein is important for maintaining the structure and function of muscle cells. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. It allows for a more comprehensive and efficient analysis of genetic variations, including mutations in the FLNC gene. NGS genetic testing for FLNC gene myopathy, distal type 4, involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, from the individual suspected of having the condition. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any mutations or variations in the FLNC gene. The results of the NGS genetic test can help confirm a diagnosis of FLNC gene myopathy, distal type 4, and provide information about the specific genetic mutation causing the condition. This information can be useful for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guiding treatment decisions. It is important to note that NGS genetic testing may not be available in all healthcare settings and may require specialized laboratories or genetic testing centers. Additionally, the interpretation of genetic test results should be done by a healthcare professional with expertise in genetics to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of the condition. |
