Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy is characterized by progressive muscle loss and weakness, and Labcorp tests can detect the genetic mutations that cause the most common forms.

Featured Tests

620084

Myotonic Dystrophy 1 (DMPK) Genetic Testing (Repeat Expansion)

This adult onset muscular dystrophy disease is caused by inherited changes in the DMPK gene.

620087

Myotonic Dystrophy 2 (ZNF9/CNBP) Genetic Testing (Repeat Expansion)

This adult onset muscular dystrophy disease is caused by inherited changes in the CNBP gene, also known as ZNF9.

630068

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

The early onset form of muscular dystrophy is caused by changes in the DMD gene. This can be tested by using Labcorp’s GeneSeq®PLUS assay and specifying “DMD” as the gene of interest.
