MYH7 Gene Myosin Storage Myopathy Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the MYH7 Gene Myosin Storage Myopathy Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose and understand the underlying cause of myosin storage myopathy (MSM), a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of abnormal myosin proteins within muscle cells.
Test Details
The MYH7 gene is responsible for encoding the protein called myosin heavy chain 7, which plays a crucial role in muscle contraction. Mutations in this gene can lead to MSM. Symptoms of MSM include muscle weakness, fatigue, and difficulty with movement. The severity and specific symptoms can vary between affected individuals.
Components and Price
The MYH7 Gene Myosin Storage Myopathy Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method and Test Type
The MYH7 Gene Myosin Storage Myopathy Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS allows for the rapid and cost-effective sequencing of a large number of genes simultaneously. This test falls under the category of neurological disorders and is conducted by our team of expert neurologists in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the MYH7 Gene Myosin Storage Myopathy Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by MSM. This information helps in understanding the inheritance pattern and assessing the risk of passing on the condition.
Benefits of the Test
NGS testing allows for the identification of specific genetic mutations in the MYH7 gene, providing a definitive diagnosis of MSM. This information is crucial for understanding the underlying cause of the condition, predicting disease progression, and guiding treatment decisions. It also plays a vital role in genetic counseling and family planning purposes.

Test Details |
The MYH7 gene is responsible for encoding the protein called myosin heavy chain 7, which is involved in muscle contraction. Mutations in this gene can lead to a condition known as myosin storage myopathy (MSM). MSM is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of abnormal myosin proteins within muscle cells. This buildup interferes with muscle function and can result in muscle weakness, fatigue, and difficulty with movement. The severity and specific symptoms of MSM can vary widely between affected individuals. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a type of genetic test that allows for the rapid and cost-effective sequencing of a large number of genes simultaneously. It is commonly used to identify genetic mutations associated with various diseases, including MSM. NGS can analyze the MYH7 gene for any mutations or variants that may be causing the condition. By identifying specific genetic mutations in the MYH7 gene, NGS testing can provide a definitive diagnosis of MSM. This information can be crucial for understanding the underlying cause of the condition, predicting disease progression, and guiding treatment decisions. It can also be helpful for genetic counseling and family planning purposes. |
