Genetic Testing in Neurology
Genetic testing is increasingly vital in the field of neurology, where many conditions such as epilepsy and dementia have a genetic origin. Identifying the genetic basis of a neurological disorder can provide diagnostic clarity, especially in complex or early-onset cases, and can help differentiate between overlapping clinical syndromes. A confirmed genetic diagnosis can guide treatment decisions, inform prognosis, and determine eligibility for targeted therapies or clinical trials. Additionally, genetic testing enables early identification of at-risk family members and supports reproductive decision-making. As precision medicine continues to evolve, genetic insights are becoming indispensable for delivering more accurate, individualised, and effective care for patients with neurological conditions.
Genetic testing for neurological conditions can help you, the healthcare practitioner, to:
- Identify patients who are at risk of developing neurological conditions, enabling them to take preventative measures where possible.
- Closely monitor patients with a known neurological condition predisposition thereby facilitating early detection and treatment, which is known to have a positive impact on patient outcomes.
- Identify and access targeted therapies that may benefit your patient.
- Identify family members who may also be a risk, roll out cascade testing, and begin taking preventative measures where appropriate.
- Direct your patients towards helpful patient resources and support groups.
- Assist your patients with family planning.
Neurology Gene Panel Tests available at Genseq
Genseq offer 31 neurology gene panels (see table below). These are in silico panels based on whole exome sequencing (WES) data. All panels include single nucleotide variants (SNV), small insertions/deletions (indels), and copy number variation (CNV) analysis.
