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.

Myotonic Dystrophy 1 (DMPK) Genetic Testing (Repeat Expansion) (620084)

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