Listen "Advances in Genetic Testing and Gene-based Therapies for Neuromuscular Illnesses at RUSH with Rabia Malik, MD, and Rich Dineen, MS, CGC"
Episode Synopsis
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of neuromuscular illnesses. Testing can help provide a definitive diagnosis in cases where clinical symptoms alone may not be conclusive. Neuromuscular disorders often share overlapping symptoms, making it difficult to distinguish between them based solely on clinical presentation.
Rabia Malik, MD, is a neuromuscular physician in the Department of Neurology at RUSH University Medical Center and is the director of the RUSH Muscular Dystrophy Association Care Center Clinic. Rich Dineen, MS, CGC, is a certified genetic counselor in the section of Neuromuscular Diseases at RUSH.
Dr. Malik explains that “having the right clinical question is definitely the most challenging piece of neuromuscular illness [care]. You need expertise and experience in recognizing what particular neuromuscular disorder you may be dealing with because that would subsequently help with [choosing the right] genetic testing.”
