The MYH7 gene myopathy distal type 1 genetic test is a specialized diagnostic procedure offered by DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the MYH7 gene that are associated with distal myopathy type 1, a rare inherited muscle disorder. This condition is characterized by weakness and atrophy of the distal muscles, primarily affecting the lower legs and hands, and can lead to significant impairment in mobility and hand function.

Distal myopathy type 1 is caused by mutations in the MYH7 gene, which encodes the beta-myosin heavy chain protein, a crucial component of the contractile system in skeletal and cardiac muscles. The genetic test involves analyzing the patient’s DNA, extracted from a blood sample, to search for specific mutations in the MYH7 gene that are known to cause the disorder.

The test is priced at 4400 AED and is conducted in the state-of-the-art facilities of DNA Labs UAE, ensuring high accuracy and reliability of the results. The test is critical for individuals with a family history of distal myopathy type 1 or those exhibiting symptoms, as a positive result can confirm the diagnosis and facilitate early intervention and management strategies. Additionally, the test can provide valuable information for family planning and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.

Pre Test Information

Clinical History of Patient who is going for MYH7 Gene Myopathy, distal type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MYH7 Gene Myopathy, distal type 1.

Test Details

The MYH7 gene is responsible for encoding the protein myosin heavy chain 7, which is involved in muscle contraction. Mutations in this gene can lead to various types of myopathy, which are muscle disorders. Distal type 1 myopathy is a specific subtype of myopathy that is characterized by muscle weakness and wasting in the distal muscles of the limbs (hands and feet). This condition typically starts in adulthood and progresses slowly over time.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of myopathy, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the MYH7 gene and other genes associated with myopathies. By performing NGS genetic testing, healthcare providers can determine if a person has a mutation in the MYH7 gene that is causing their distal type 1 myopathy. This information can be useful for making a diagnosis, understanding the prognosis, and potentially guiding treatment decisions.
