Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test measure?
This test measures mutations in the DMD gene, specifically analyzing 79 exons to identify any genetic changes that may lead to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Understanding these mutations helps assess the risk of the condition in the fetus.
Who should take this test?
This test is recommended for pregnant individuals with a family history of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or those who have had abnormal screening results. It is also useful for couples who are carriers of DMD mutations.
How do I prepare for this test?
Preparation for this test involves providing amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or cord blood samples, along with 2ml of EDTA blood from the mother. No fasting is necessary, but follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
What do the results mean?
Results from this test can indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the DMD gene. Abnormal results may suggest a higher risk of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the fetus, prompting further counseling and testing.
How long until I get my results?
The turnaround time for this test is typically 15-20 days. Results will be communicated through your healthcare provider, ensuring you receive timely information.
