DMD/BMD Mutation Screening (26 Exons) [Prenatal] Cost INR:10500 Symptoms Diagnosis
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) are two of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy. These are genetic disorders that cause muscle weakness and progressive muscle wasting. They are caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which is located on the X chromosome. DMD is caused by a complete loss of the dystrophin protein, while BMD is caused by a partial loss.
Symptoms of DMD/BMD
The symptoms of DMD/BMD usually appear in early childhood. Children with DMD may have difficulty standing up, walking, and running. They may also have trouble climbing stairs and getting up from the floor. As the disease progresses, they may develop a waddling gait and have difficulty breathing. Children with BMD may have milder symptoms and may not be diagnosed until later in life.
Diagnosis of DMD/BMD
The diagnosis of DMD/BMD is usually made through a combination of clinical evaluation, genetic testing, and muscle biopsy. The clinical evaluation may include a physical exam, family history, and assessment of muscle strength and function. Genetic testing can identify mutations in the dystrophin gene. Muscle biopsy can confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of the disease.
