Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 1A - PMP22 duplications – Private Testing in London
The Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 1A PMP22 duplication test is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, our CQC-registered clinic in South Kensington, London SW7. This test is priced at £680. A £50 phlebotomy fee applies per visit for blood collection. It requires a venous blood sample, and results are typically available within 6 weeks. A referral from a clinical neurologist or clinical geneticist is required before this test can be ordered.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy, caused by a duplication of the PMP22 gene on chromosome 17p. This test detects the characteristic 1.5 Mb tandem duplication responsible for approximately 70% of all CMT1 cases.
Who Should Consider CMT1A PMP22 Duplication Testing?
Individuals with progressive distal muscle weakness and wasting, foot deformity (pes cavus), reduced reflexes, and sensory loss suggestive of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. Those with nerve conduction studies showing a demyelinating pattern. Family members of confirmed CMT1A patients seeking carrier or predictive testing.
CMT1A follows autosomal dominant inheritance, meaning each child of an affected parent has a 50% chance of inheriting the condition. Genetic counselling is recommended before and after testing to discuss implications for the individual and family members.
A trained nurse collects the blood sample by standard venepuncture at our clinic on Old Brompton Road, directly opposite South Kensington tube station (Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines). A referral from a clinical neurologist or clinical geneticist is required — please call 020 7183 2362 to arrange.
