Neurogenetics Package
What Is Neurogenetics?
Neurogenetics is a specialised field of medicine that examines the genetic basis of neurological and neuromuscular disorders. Many conditions affecting the brain, peripheral nerves, and muscles have an inherited component that may not be immediately apparent.
Our London-based service provides comprehensive genomic assessment for individuals and families seeking clarity regarding suspected inherited neurological conditions.
Neurogenetics Package – Who Is This Suitable For?
Our Neurogenetics Package in London is designed for individuals and families seeking clarity regarding suspected inherited neurological or neuromuscular conditions. The service supports both adult and paediatric patients with a careful, consultant-led approach.
Including Parkinson’s disease (particularly early-onset cases), ataxia, or unexplained coordination difficulties where a hereditary cause is suspected.
Individuals with epilepsy of possible genetic origin or peripheral neuropathy without a clear acquired cause may benefit from targeted genomic evaluation.
Assessment for inherited neuromuscular disorders, undiagnosed neurodevelopmental conditions, and complex neurological presentations in both children and adults.
Those with a significant family history of neurological illness who wish to clarify inherited risk, explore predictive testing, or seek guidance for relatives.
Both adult and paediatric patients are assessed with equal care and clinical precision. Our London-based neurogenetics service ensures thorough evaluation, clear communication, and evidence-based guidance at every stage.
What Does the Assessment Include?
1. Pre-Test Consultation
A detailed clinical consultation reviewing:
Personal medical history
Three-generation family pedigree
Previous neurological investigations
MRI, EMG, or neurophysiology findings (where available)
2. Phenotype-Driven Genomic Testing
Based on clinical findings, we may recommend:
Targeted neurogenetic panels
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
Testing is selected carefully to maximise diagnostic yield while avoiding unnecessary investigations.
3. Clinical Interpretation
Genomic data is interpreted within a clinical context, ensuring results are meaningful and actionable.
4. Post-Test Consultation (Within Four Weeks)
Results are discussed in a structured follow-up appointment. We provide:
Clear explanation of findings
Risk assessment for family members
Guidance on surveillance and management
Referral pathways where appropriate
Discussion of research enrolment for undiagnosed cases
Why Consider Genetic Testing for Neurological Conditions?
A confirmed genetic diagnosis may:
End a prolonged diagnostic journey
Clarify prognosis
Inform treatment decisions
Identify eligibility for emerging targeted therapies
Enable predictive testing for relatives
Provide reproductive planning options
Early and accurate diagnosis is particularly important in progressive neurological disorders.

Choosing Neurogenetics Testing
Selecting the right neurogenetics service is a crucial step towards accurate diagnosis, personalised guidance, and peace of mind. Several factors ensure the best possible experience for individuals and families.
Key Considerations: Expertise, Confidentiality, Comprehensive Care
Expertise: Choose a service led by experienced clinical geneticists with proven expertise in inherited neurological and neuromuscular disorders.
Confidentiality: Genetic data is deeply personal. Ensure the provider follows strict UK data protection regulations and maintains the highest level of privacy.
Comprehensive Care: Look for centres offering full-service consultations, advanced genomic testing, structured result interpretation, and ongoing support for families.

In this section you can check frequently asked questions.
How accurate is neurogenetic testing?
Modern genomic testing offers high analytical accuracy. However, interpretation depends on current scientific knowledge. Some results may identify variants of uncertain significance, which are explained carefully during consultation.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No referral is required for private assessment. However, we are happy to liaise with your GP or neurologist where appropriate.
Is genetic testing suitable for children?
Yes. Paediatric neurogenetics assessment is available where clinically indicated. Testing in children is undertaken with careful ethical consideration and parental consent.
Will my family members need testing?
If a pathogenic variant is identified, targeted testing for relatives (cascade testing) may be recommended to clarify their risk.
Is the testing confidential?
Yes. All consultations and genomic results are handled with strict medical confidentiality in accordance with UK data protection standards.
