Posted on: 08/26/2012 Good day to you. My younger sister Sahera Sultana [18] is suffering by Muscular dystrophy. Our consultant has advised us for - (1) Genetic Testing for Dystrophy and (2) Muscle Biopsy. For your convenience i have attached consultation summary and some diagnose report i.e. CPK and EMG report. We live in Bangladesh. So as an foreign patient we need your advise and help. So Please let me know the procedure of appointment and The cost for the above two test I am looking forward for your early reply. Thanks in advance.
