Genetic testing:
Bringing clarity to many people living with genetic conditions.
Earlier answers can help inform a person’s trajectory of care.
240M
Out of an estimated 300 million1 people living with a rare disease, 80%2 (240 million) are living with one that is genetic in origin.
~7
Rare disease patients see an average of 7.3 physicians before receiving a correct diagnosis.3
5Y
Diagnosis is delayed for many for as much as 5 years, with some even stretching past a decade.4
Could genetic testing impact your journey?
Genetic conditions affect millions, yet most people wait years for an answer, cycling through wrong treatments, unnecessary procedures, and missed opportunities. A single diagnosis can help identify the right treatment, open doors to clinical trials, and/or identify risk in family members before symptoms ever appear.
Consider genetic testing if you or a family member:
- Has been on a long diagnostic journey without a clear answer
- Has a known or suspected rare or genetic condition
- Has a family history of genetic disease or early-onset illness

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy & Other Sub-variants
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9) is a rare, neuromuscular condition caused by variants in the fukutin-related protein (FKRP) gene. There are active clinical trials and potential emerging therapies for several genetically distinct subtypes of this disease. Testing is provided by Detect Muscular Dystrophy & The Lantern Project

"I was constantly told I just had low calcium for years. Once I was tested and diagnosed with ADH1, I had more clarity."
