Test Parameters & Specifications
Understanding Your Results
Positive (pathogenic variant detected)
Genetic confirmation of FKRP Gene Muscular Dystrophy Type 1C. Inheritance is autosomal recessive; genetic counselling is recommended for the family.
Negative (no pathogenic variant detected)
No disease-causing mutation identified in the FKRP gene. This does not rule out muscular dystrophy if clinical suspicion remains; additional genetic testing may be considered.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
A genetic change was found whose association with the disease is not yet known. Further family studies and functional analysis may be required.
If you or your child experiences progressive muscle weakness, delayed motor milestones, difficulty walking, or other symptoms suggestive of muscular dystrophy, consult a neurologist or clinical geneticist for evaluation.
Limitations
- ⚠This test specifically evaluates mutations in the FKRP gene. Other genetic causes of muscular dystrophy are not assessed by this single-gene test.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor bruising at the puncture site
- ●Dizziness or fainting during blood draw
- ●Rare risk of infection at the collection site
