Next-generation sequencing tests for neurologic disorders have provided an opportunity to screen a large number of genes concurrently. While this increases the likelihood of identifying the genetic mechanism for disease in an individual, it also leads to increasingly complex test reports. This presentation will outline the benefits and limitations of genetic testing for neurologic disorders and provide a framework for interpretation of test results.
