Risks and benefits of DNA testing for neurogenetic disorders.

Seminars in neurology - 1 Jan 1999

Bird T D

Abstract excerpt

DNA testing for mutations in genes causing neurogenetic disorders is becoming a common practice in clinical neurology. The tests are highly sensitive and specific. They are especially valuable in establishing diagnoses in symptomatic patients. These DNA tests are also used in asymptomatic persons at risk for genetic diseases who wish to determine whether or not they have inherited an abnormal gene. There are...
