Background

The Adventia Dystrophinopathies Focus Panel analyzes the DMD gene via MLPA for the detection of exonic deletions and duplications. Point mutations are not detected via the MLPA analysis.  and intron-exon boundaries.

 

Detection rate is >75% of affected cases.

 

What diseases are associated with the genes tested in this panel?

Becker Muscular Dystrophy (X-linked)

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (X-linked)

 

Note: Testing for Dystrophinopathies via the Adventia Core or Comprehensive panel is performed via Target Capture Enrichment Technology utilizing Next Generation Sequencing, which yields higher detection rates. More information on the detection rates can be found on the Adventia Carrier Screening page.
