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.
