Published 28/01/2016

We have upgraded our Asper Neurogenetics testing menu with several new gene panels for diagnostics of different forms of craniosynostosis, hereditary spastic paraplegia, and  spinocerebellar ataxia.

Craniosynostosis panel includes 7 genes, hereditary spastic paraplegia 34 genes and spinocerebellar ataxia 68 genes. For hereditary spastic paraplegia there is also the targeted mutation analysis of the MT-ATP6 gene available. New testing panels provide valuable input to determine differential diagnosis of the diseases with neurological involvement.
