Nx GEN SEQUENCING: DUCHENNE & BECKER MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY Test
DNA Labs India is a leading genetic testing laboratory in India that offers a range of tests to help diagnose genetic disorders. One of the tests that we offer is Nx GEN SEQUENCING for Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy. This test is designed to help identify the genetic mutations that cause these disorders.
What is Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy?
Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy are genetic disorders that cause muscle weakness and progressive muscle degeneration. These disorders are caused by mutations in the DMD gene, which is responsible for producing a protein called dystrophin. Without dystrophin, the muscle cells become damaged and eventually die.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the more severe form of the disorder and typically presents in early childhood. Symptoms include difficulty walking, frequent falls, and muscle weakness in the legs and pelvis. Becker Muscular Dystrophy is a milder form of the disorder and typically presents in adolescence or early adulthood. Symptoms are similar to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy but are usually less severe.
How is Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy diagnosed?
Diagnosis of Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, and genetic testing. The Nx GEN SEQUENCING test offered by DNA Labs India is a highly accurate and reliable genetic test that can identify the specific mutations in the DMD gene that cause these disorders.
What is Nx GEN SEQUENCING?
Nx GEN SEQUENCING is a type of genetic testing that uses next-generation sequencing technology to analyze DNA. This technology allows us to quickly and accurately sequence large sections of the genome, making it an ideal tool for identifying genetic mutations that cause genetic disorders.
What is the cost of the Nx GEN SEQUENCING test for Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy?
The cost of the Nx GEN SEQUENCING test for Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy at DNA Labs India is INR 23400. This includes the cost of the test, as well as any necessary counseling and support services.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X-linked recessive muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in the dystrophin/DMD gene. DMD affects 1/3000 male births and is more common than BMD. Both disorders affect proximal muscles especially of lower extremities. DMD manifests early with difficulty in climbing stairs and running but later it leads to generalized weakness. BMD manifests between 5-15 years of age and progresses at a much slower rate. Cardiac involvement is common in both diseases and may result in heart failure. Mental retardation may occur in both disorders but is more common in DMD.
