LGMD type 2B tests   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #86 of 592 |
I was wondering if anyone in this group knows any information about
current diagnostic tests available for LGMD type 2B. I've read that
there are a number of specialist laboratories around the world that
will do this testing either on the muscle biopsy slide or by blood
sample but I need to know if it is possible for any lab to do these
tests? My specialist has asked the lab techs here in New Zealand to
do these tests and they've supposidly been at it for 11 months. How
difficult are these tests to perform and will our hospital lab techs
have the expertise to interpret the results?
Thanks for your help!
Lucinda
