Test Code: CMT1MN
Charcot-Marie- Tooth Disease Type1A (MLPA)
Neurogenetics
This method detects copy number variations (CNVs) in the PMP22, KIF1B, TEKT3, COX10, GJB1, and MPZ genes using genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral whole blood specimens. It is intended to confirm a potential genetic cause for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) (PMP22 duplications), X-linked CMT (CMT1X) (GJB1 deletions), and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) (PMP22 deletions). This test is also suitable for molecular genetic testing of at-risk family members.
