Muscular Dystrophy Canada Launches Initiative to Improve Genetic Testing Access for Myotonic Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) is thrilled to launch an innovative initiative designed to tackle the diagnostic hurdles experienced by individuals with myotonic dystrophy. This transformative, year-long project will offer no-cost genetic testing to those with suspected myotonic dystrophy, providing a critical pathway to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
Alongside genetic testing, MDC will also provide access to post-test genetic counseling, empowering individuals to better understand their results and make informed decisions about their health and future clinical care.
