Parkinson Disease Panel
Use
The Parkinson Disease Panel from GeneDx is intended to aid in the evaluation of individuals with clinical signs or family history suggestive of Parkinson disease or related movement disorders. It enables detection of sequence variants and deletions/duplications across a curated set of genes implicated in hereditary Parkinsonism, supporting molecular diagnosis and guiding clinical management.
Special Instructions
Order this test by using test code T401 on the GeneDx neurology test requisition form. Refer to the most current online version for updated gene list, technical limitations, and ordering instructions. Family member samples submitted for panel testing must be received within three weeks of the proband sample.
Limitations
Sequence analysis may not detect all variant types; for certain genes (e.g. DDC, DNAJC12, GBA, NUS1, RAB39B, TWNK), only sequence-level variants are detected, and only whole gene deletions or duplications are detectable for BCAP31 and TUBB4A. The panel covers a defined gene set (44 genes) and will not detect variants outside these genes.
