Abstract excerpt
Genetic testing is important for diagnosis and prediction of many diseases. The development of a clinical genetic test can be rapid for common disorders, but for rare genetic disorders this process can take years, if it occurs at all. We review the path from gene discovery to development of a clinical genetic test, using frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) as an example of...
