The Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Test is a specialized genetic test designed to diagnose Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1), a form of muscular dystrophy characterized by muscle weakness and myotonia. This condition is caused by a mutation in the DMPK gene, where a segment of DNA is abnormally expanded. The test involves analyzing a sample of the patient’s DNA to detect the presence and size of the CTG triplet repeat expansion in the DMPK gene, which is responsible for the condition.

Administered at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic testing, the Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Test is essential for accurate diagnosis and management of the disorder. It aids in confirming the diagnosis, understanding the severity of the condition, and guiding treatment decisions. Additionally, it can be useful for family planning and determining the risk of passing the condition to offspring.

The cost of the Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Test at DNA Labs UAE is set at 1400 AED. Given the complexity of the condition and the specialized nature of the test, this price reflects the comprehensive analysis and the detailed report provided by the lab. Individuals seeking this test can expect a reliable service backed by the expertise of DNA Labs UAE, ensuring accurate and timely diagnosis of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1.

MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY TYPE 1 Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY TYPE 1 test for individuals who suspect they may have this neurologic disorder. This test can accurately diagnose the condition by analyzing the DMPK gene for the presence of an abnormal expansion of CTG repeats. Here is everything you need to know about the test:

Test Cost

The cost of the MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY TYPE 1 test is AED 1400.0.

Test Components

  • DMPK Gene

Sample Condition

For the test, we require a minimum of 2 mL of whole blood from 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. The sample should be shipped refrigerated and should not be frozen.

Report Delivery

The sample should be submitted by Monday before 11 am. The report will be delivered on Friday.

Method

The MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY TYPE 1 test is conducted using the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method and Fragment Analysis.

Test Type

The MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY TYPE 1 test falls under the category of Neurologic Disorders.

Doctor

The test is conducted under the supervision of a Neurologist.

Test Department

The MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY TYPE 1 test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department.

Pre Test Information

Prior to taking the test, it is mandatory to fill the Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20).

Test Details

To diagnose myotonic dystrophy type 1, a combination of clinical evaluation, genetic testing, and electromyography (EMG) may be performed. Here are the common tests used in the diagnosis:

  1. Genetic testing: This is the most accurate way to diagnose myotonic dystrophy type 1. It involves analyzing a sample of blood or saliva to detect the presence of an abnormal expansion of CTG repeats in the DMPK gene.
  2. Clinical evaluation: A neurologist or geneticist will review the patient’s medical history, perform a physical examination, and assess symptoms such as muscle weakness, myotonia (delayed muscle relaxation), and other associated features like cataracts, cardiac abnormalities, or cognitive impairment.
  3. Electromyography (EMG): This test measures the electrical activity of muscles. It can help identify the characteristic myotonic discharges, which are abnormal electrical patterns seen in myotonic dystrophy type 1.
  4. Muscle biopsy: In some cases, a small sample of muscle tissue may be taken for examination under a microscope. This can help confirm the diagnosis by showing specific changes in the muscle fibers.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and to discuss the appropriate tests based on individual symptoms and medical history.
