Detail Description

DMPK Gene Myotonic dystrophy type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost, Symptoms and Diagnosis

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is a genetic disorder that affects the muscles and other body systems. It is caused by a mutation in the DMPK gene. This disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene from one parent to develop the disorder.

The symptoms of myotonic dystrophy type 1 can vary widely from person to person. Some common symptoms include:

• Muscle weakness and wasting
• Difficulty with movement and coordination
• Progressive muscle stiffness
• Difficulty swallowing and speaking
• Eye problems, such as cataracts and ptosis
• Cognitive impairment and behavioral changes

Diagnosis of myotonic dystrophy type 1 is typically made through a combination of clinical evaluation, family history, and genetic testing. The DMPK gene can be analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that are associated with this disorder.
