The Invitae Hereditary Motor Neuropathy Panel analyzes genes associated with hereditary motor neuropathies (HMNs), a group of conditions characterized by the loss of motor neurons within the spinal cord, leading to weakness and muscle wasting. HMNs can also be referred to as spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs). Identification of the genetic cause can confirm a clinical diagnosis, predict disease prognosis, facilitate early detection of symptoms, and inform family planning or genetic counseling. This comprehensive test is based on current evidence and can aid in enrollment for clinical trials.
