Test Overview & Methodology
The DNM2 Gene DI‑CMTB Genetic Test employs Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect pathogenic variants in the DNM2 gene associated with Dominant Intermediate Charcot‑Marie‑Tooth disease type B. This molecular analysis provides definitive diagnosis and enables family risk stratification.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | Closest Alternative (Single‑Gene Sanger) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Diagnostic Yield | 99.9% sensitivity; full coding region coverage | ~95% sensitivity; may miss deep intronic variants |
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) with bioinformatic analysis | Sanger sequencing of targeted exons only |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 Weeks | 6–8 Weeks (typical for reference labs) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a consultant in medical genetics, I emphasize that this test should always be correlated with clinical and electrophysiological findings. Results provide powerful guidance for families, but a negative result does not exclude all genetic causes, and a positive result does not predict disease severity. Pre‑test genetic counselling is strongly advised.”

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medications without consulting your treating physician. This test is not a substitute for clinical evaluation.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Individuals under 18 without legal guardian consent; specimens not meeting pre‑analytical requirements (e.g., degraded DNA).
- Emergency Red Flags: Sudden severe muscle weakness, respiratory distress, or loss of ambulation. If any occur, seek immediate emergency evaluation—do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the DNM2 gene test for?
The DNM2 gene test identifies mutations causing Dominant Intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type B, enabling accurate diagnosis and family screening. It is a definitive molecular test for this specific neuropathy.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
Sample collection is performed via standard peripheral whole blood draw (EDTA) or saliva (Oragene DNA kit) through our VIP Mobile Phlebotomy service. Results are typically delivered within 3–4 weeks.
3. Do I need genetic counselling before this test?
Yes, pre‑test genetic counselling is mandatory to draw a detailed pedigree chart, discuss potential outcomes, and ensure informed consent. Our team can coordinate a telephonic session with a certified counsellor upon booking.
