Anyone diagnosed with dysferlin deficiency/LGMD2B/Miyoshi, and would like to have his/her diagnosis confirmed by a genetic test, the Jain Foundation is offering to pay for the lab work on dysferlin DNA test for patients living in the United States whose medical insurance will not cover genetic testing, as long as he/she is registered with the foundation’s patient registry (https://www.jain-foundation.org/form1.php) and can provide documented protein test results of absent or reduced dysferlin.

Genetic testing is quite expensive, but knowing one’s specific mutations is important because more and more therapies for genetic disease currently being developed are gene and mutation specific, and in order to prepare for participation in the clinical trials in the future, one will need to have this extremely important piece of information. Finally, genetic testing is the gold standard for obtaining a definitive diagnosis since many muscle diseases are very similar clinically.
