  • Patient must have a clinical suspicion of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) or Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD)
  • Physician's order for the DMD / BMD-79 exons Deletion / Duplication Analysis Test

  • Deletion: < 0.2
  • Duplication: > 2.0

What does this test DMD / BMD-79 exons Deletion / Duplication Analysis Test identify?

This test, DMD / BMD-79 exons Deletion / Duplication Analysis Test, identifies deletions or duplications in the 79 exons of the DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) gene. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. This test specifically looks for abnormalities in the DMD gene that can lead to the development of Duchenne muscular dystrophy or its milder form, Becker muscular dystrophy.

Why is this test DMD / BMD-79 exons Deletion / Duplication Analysis Test taken?

  1. Diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD): The DMD / BMD-79 exons Deletion / Duplication Analysis Test is taken to diagnose Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) by detecting deletions or duplications in the 79 exons of the DMD gene. These genetic mutations are responsible for causing DMD and BMD, which are progressive muscle-wasting disorders.
  2. Genetic Counseling: This test is also important for genetic counseling purposes. Identifying deletions or duplications in the DMD gene can help assess the risk of passing on the genetic mutation to future generations.
  3. Disease Management: Knowing the specific genetic mutation in the DMD gene can aid in developing personalized treatment plans and disease management strategies for individuals with DMD or BMD.
  4. Carrier Testing: The test can also be used for carrier testing to identify individuals who carry a single copy of the mutated DMD gene. This information is valuable for family planning and reproductive decision-making.
