Test ID: DBMD
Duchenne/Becker Muscular Dystrophy, DMD Gene, Large Deletion/Duplication Analysis, Varies
Useful For 
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Confirmation of a clinical diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)
Distinguishing DMD from BMD in some cases, based on the type of deletion detected (allows for better prediction of prognosis)
Determination of carrier status in family member at risk for DMD or BMD
Prenatal diagnosis of DMD or BMD in at-risk pregnancies
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request
Deletions and duplications only.
If testing is being performed due to family history, documentation regarding the familial mutation before testing an asymptomatic individual or proceeding with carrier testing is preferred.
Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| CULFB | Fibroblast Culture for Genetic Test | Yes | No |
| CULAF | Amniotic Fluid Culture/Genetic Test | Yes | No |
| MATCC | Maternal Cell Contamination, B | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
For prenatal specimens only: If amniotic fluid (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, amniotic fluid culture/genetic test will be added and charged separately. If chorionic villus specimen (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, fibroblast culture for genetic test will be added and charged separately. For any prenatal specimen that is received, maternal cell contamination studies will be added.
