Abstract

Genomic testing has been available for neurological conditions for decades. However, in recent years, there has been a significant change in its availability, range and cost, as well as improvements in the technology and knowledge that underpin how the genome is interrogated. Neurologists can encounter a wide range of genetic conditions, and so their understanding of genomic testing is fundamental to modern clinical practice.

Keywords: genetics; neurogenetics.
