What does the Charcot-Marie-Tooth and Sensory Neuropathies Gene Panel include at Metropolis Healthcare?
This panel includes targeted NGS analysis of genes known to cause various forms of hereditary neuropathies.
How does Metropolis Healthcare perform this genetic test?
Metropolis Healthcare uses high-depth NGS technology to detect pathogenic variants with accuracy and reliability.
Who should consider taking this test at Metropolis Healthcare?
Individuals with progressive muscle weakness, sensory loss, foot deformities, or a family history of neuropathies may benefit from this test.
What type of sample is required for this panel at Metropolis Healthcare?
A blood sample collected in an EDTA vial is required for sequencing.
How can this test help in managing neuropathies?
The results help confirm the diagnosis, guide treatment strategies, and support genetic counseling for affected families.
How long does Metropolis Healthcare take to deliver the results?
Turnaround time varies but typically ranges from 2–4 weeks due to the complexity of sequencing.
Can this test detect all forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
The panel covers most known CMT-related genes, but rare or newly discovered variants may require additional testing.
Is genetic counseling recommended after testing at Metropolis Healthcare?
Yes, counseling is advised to help interpret results and understand inheritance patterns.
