Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD)

Sponsored diagnostic testing programs for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD)

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) includes several genetic conditions marked by progressive weakness in the muscles around the hips and shoulders. Because many genes can be involved, genetic testing is key to determining the subtype and informing management.

Thymidine Kinase 2 Deficiency (TK2d)

LGMD and MITO Depletion Panel

This program offers no-cost access to a 55-gene panel for patients with symptoms that may indicate TK2 deficiency (TK2d), mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes (MDS), or LGMD-like presentations with unclear etiology. Because TK2d can clinically overlap with both MDS and LGMD, this broader panel supports efficient evaluation across these disorders. Testing is available at no cost for eligible U.S. patients.
