Hereditary peripheral neuropathy
Meaningful results through an integrated approach
Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ hereditary neuropathy testing is backed by a multidisciplinary team of clinical peripheral neuropathy experts, laboratory scientists, and genetic counselors to provide the highest standard for variant detection.
Using NGS techniques and unique interpretive reporting methods, our approach allows for optimal variant detection. This process reduces the risk of false negative results compared to whole exome sequencing and other capture techniques, providing physicians with confidence that disease-specific variants were not missed.
