GNE Gene Inclusion Body Myopathy NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The GNE Gene Inclusion Body Myopathy NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test that plays a vital role in diagnosing Inclusion Body Myopathy (IBM), a rare and progressive muscle disorder. This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the GNE gene, which is crucial for the production of enzymes that help in muscle function. Understanding your genetic predisposition can be life-changing, allowing for better management and treatment options.
