When will the test be used in diagnostic practice? 🧬 engineering

When it comes to genetic neurological and neuromuscular diseases, screening early is key to getting the right treatment. may help in this process, as reported by the institutionThe breakthrough could forever revolutionize how we diagnose genetic diseases, making the lives of patients easier and providing better treatment options.

"When patients present with symptoms, it can be difficult to tell which of these 50-plus genetic expansions they might have, so their doctor must decide which genes to test for based on the person’s symptoms and family history. If that test comes back negative, the patient is left without answers. This testing can go on for years without finding the genes implicated in their disease.

The new technology will bypass this entire process by giving immediate results through one single test. "This new test will completely revolutionize how we diagnose these diseases since we can now test for all the disorders at once with a single DNA test and give a clear genetic diagnosis, helping patients avoid years of unnecessary muscle or nerve biopsies for diseases they don’t have, or risky treatments that suppress their immune system," Kumar added.
