Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA‑licensed neurologist, I emphasise that this NGS test identifies pathogenic FKTN variants with exceptional precision. However, a definitive diagnosis still requires correlation with the patient’s clinical history, neuroimaging, and muscle biopsy findings. Genetic results should never be interpreted in isolation.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, Consultant Neurologist, DHA License: 61713011
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication or alter your treatment plan based solely on this genetic test result. Always consult your treating physician before making any changes.
