DMD Gene Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne Type NGS Genetic Test
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that causes muscle weakness and degeneration. There are different types of muscular dystrophy, but Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and severe type. It primarily affects boys and is caused by a mutation in the DMD gene.
NGS Genetic Testing is a new and advanced method of testing for genetic disorders like DMD. NGS stands for next-generation sequencing, which is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that can analyze multiple genes at once. This means that NGS testing can detect DMD mutations more accurately and quickly than traditional genetic testing methods.
Symptoms of DMD
DMD symptoms usually appear in early childhood and worsen over time. The following are some common symptoms of DMD:
- Muscle weakness and wasting
- Trouble standing up or walking
- Frequent falls
- Difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from a sitting position
- Enlarged calf muscles
- Intellectual disability
- Speech and language delays
- Behavioral and emotional problems
If your child shows any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor and get a proper diagnosis as early as possible.
Diagnosis of DMD
Diagnosis of DMD usually involves a combination of physical exams, medical history, and genetic testing. The following tests may be done to diagnose DMD:
- Physical exam to check for muscle weakness and wasting
- Blood test to measure the level of creatine kinase (an enzyme released by damaged muscles)
- Genetic testing to detect DMD mutations
- Muscle biopsy to examine a small sample of muscle tissue
NGS Genetic Testing is a highly accurate and reliable method of detecting DMD mutations. It can detect mutations that may be missed by other genetic testing methods.
Cost of NGS Genetic Test for DMD
The cost of NGS Genetic Testing for DMD varies depending on the laboratory and location. In India, the cost of NGS Genetic Testing for DMD is around INR 20,000.
While the cost of NGS Genetic Testing may seem high, it is important to consider the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment. Early diagnosis can help your child receive the proper treatment and care, which can improve their quality of life and increase their lifespan.
Conclusion
DMD is a severe genetic disorder that primarily affects boys. NGS Genetic Testing is a new and advanced method of testing for DMD mutations. The cost of NGS Genetic Testing for DMD in India is around INR 20,000. If your child shows any symptoms of DMD, it is important to consult a doctor and get a proper diagnosis as early as possible.
