Neurogenetic testing involves analysing genetic variations that may contribute to neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. It provides insight into the genetic causes of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, facilitating early diagnosis, personalised treatment plans, and informed family planning decisions.
Who should consider this test
- Individuals with unexplained developmental delays or intellectual disabilities
- Family history of inherited neurodegenerative disorders
- Suspected neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or Huntington’s disease
- Seizure disorders or epilepsy of unknown cause
- Neuromuscular conditions such as muscular dystrophy or motor neuron disease
- Autism spectrum disorder or behavioural concerns with suspected genetic links
