Pre Test Information
Prior to the DMD Gene Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne Type Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by DMD Gene Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne type.
Test Details
The DMD gene is responsible for producing dystrophin, a protein essential for muscle fiber structure and function. Mutations in the DMD gene can lead to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Our NGS genetic testing method analyzes the DNA sequence of the DMD gene to identify specific mutations or variations associated with DMD.
For the test, a DNA sample is obtained, usually through a blood sample or a cheek swab. The DNA is then sequenced using advanced NGS technology, allowing for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. The resulting DNA sequence data is compared to a reference sequence to identify any variations or mutations in the DMD gene.
This genetic testing is useful for confirming a diagnosis of DMD in individuals with symptoms suggestive of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in females who may have an increased risk of passing on the DMD gene mutation to their children.
NGS genetic testing for DMD has significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of genetic diagnosis. It can detect various DMD gene mutations, including small insertions or deletions, single nucleotide changes, and large gene rearrangements. This information is crucial for providing accurate genetic counseling, guiding treatment decisions, and potentially identifying individuals who may benefit from specific therapies or clinical trials.

The DMD gene is responsible for producing a protein called dystrophin, which is essential for maintaining the structure and function of muscle fibers. Mutations in the DMD gene can lead to a type of muscular dystrophy known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze the DNA sequence of the DMD gene. It allows for the identification of specific mutations or variations within the gene that may be associated with DMD. NGS genetic testing for DMD involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood sample or a cheek swab. The DNA is then sequenced using advanced technology that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. The resulting DNA sequence data is compared to a reference sequence to identify any variations or mutations in the DMD gene. This type of genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of DMD in individuals with symptoms suggestive of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in females who may have an increased risk of passing on the DMD gene mutation to their children. NGS genetic testing for DMD has significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of genetic diagnosis. It allows for the detection of a wide range of DMD gene mutations, including small insertions or deletions, single nucleotide changes, and large gene rearrangements. This information is crucial for providing accurate genetic counseling, guiding treatment decisions, and potentially identifying individuals who may benefit from specific therapies or clinical trials. |
