NABL Cap Accredited      
Kennedy Disease (CAG Repeats) / EDTA Blood test is a genetic test used to detect the expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the androgen receptor (AR) gene, which causes Kennedy Disease, a rare X-linked neuromuscular disorder. The test helps confirm diagnosis in patients with progressive muscle weakness, gynecomastia, or endocrine abnormalities. Metropolis Healthcare performs this test using precise molecular techniques such as PCR and fragment analysis to provide accurate and reliable results for clinical and genetic counseling purposes
