DMD Mutation Screening 79 Exons Prenatal Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, a leading genetic lab offering the DMD mutation screening 79 Exons prenatal test at a cost of AED 3000.0.
Test Details
The DMD mutation screening is a genetic test performed during prenatal care to detect mutations in the DMD gene. The DMD gene provides instructions for making a protein called dystrophin, which is essential for muscle function. This test specifically screens for mutations in the 79 exons of the DMD gene. Exons are the coding regions of a gene that contain the instructions for making a protein.
Mutations in these exons can disrupt the production or function of dystrophin, leading to a condition called Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is an inherited disorder that primarily affects boys, causing progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue. Symptoms usually appear in early childhood and worsen over time.
The DMD mutation screening test can be performed using different techniques, such as DNA sequencing or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). These techniques allow for the detection of specific mutations or changes in the DMD gene.

Pre Test Information
The DMD mutation screening (79 Exons) prenatal test requires a doctor’s prescription. However, the prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.
It is important to note that the DMD mutation screening test is specific to the DMD gene and does not screen for other genetic disorders or conditions. Other genetic tests may be recommended based on specific circumstances and family history.

These techniques allow for the detection of specific mutations or changes in the DMD gene. Prenatal DMD mutation screening is typically offered to families with a known history of DMD or when there are signs of the condition in the developing fetus during ultrasound or other prenatal tests. Early detection of DMD mutations can help parents make informed decisions about the pregnancy and plan for the future care of their child. It is important to note that the DMD mutation screening test is specific to the DMD gene and does not screen for other genetic disorders or conditions. Other genetic tests may be recommended based on the specific circumstances and family history. |
