SGCG Gene Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Autosomal Recessive Type 2C NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Muscular Dystrophy
The SGCG Gene Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Autosomal Recessive Type 2C NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in genetic diagnostics for neuromuscular disorders. This advanced test specifically targets mutations in the SGCG gene, which encodes the gamma-sarcoglycan protein essential for maintaining muscle fiber integrity. When this gene contains pathogenic variants, it leads to progressive muscle degeneration characteristic of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C.
What This Test Detects
Our comprehensive NGS-based analysis examines the entire SGCG gene to identify:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variants
- Small insertions and deletions
- Copy number variations
- Pathogenic variants affecting sarcoglycan complex formation
- Autosomal recessive inheritance patterns
Who Should Consider This Test
This genetic test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Progressive muscle weakness in hips and shoulders
- Difficulty rising from chairs or climbing stairs
- Frequent falls or walking abnormalities
- Family history of muscular dystrophy
- Unexplained elevated creatine kinase levels
- Children showing delayed motor milestones
Key Benefits of Genetic Testing
Early genetic diagnosis through our SGCG test provides numerous advantages:
- Accurate diagnosis and differential from other muscular dystrophies
- Personalized treatment and management strategies
- Genetic counseling for family planning decisions
- Early intervention to preserve muscle function
- Participation eligibility in clinical trials
- Psychological relief from diagnostic uncertainty
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic report includes:
- Positive Result: Identifies pathogenic SGCG mutations confirming diagnosis, enabling targeted management
- Negative Result: No disease-causing variants detected in SGCG gene
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Genetic changes with unclear clinical impact requiring further evaluation
- Carrier Status: Identification of individuals with one mutated copy who may pass the condition to offspring
