Myopathies are neuromuscular conditions, commonly with symptoms of muscle weakness, muscle cramps, stiffness, or spasm. The cause of neuromuscular disorders can be either inherited or acquired. A comprehensive genetic test for myopathy identifies the possible genetic condition of unspecified causes of morbidity.
Many congenital neuromuscular conditions are onset in childhood, for example, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD). Early symptoms in children with neuromuscular diseases, such as poor balance and poor gross motor skills, may be perceived as a developmental delay at first.
Fast and accurate confirmatory diagnosis of disease
By integrating genetic and clinical information, our tests speed up medical diagnosis for unexplained neuromuscular symptoms.

# The interpretation of sequencing variants is based on the current
understanding of the variants at the time it was observed, which may change
over time as more information about the genes becomes available. Not all
variants are represented in this report.
