Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy - PMP22 deletion analysis – Private Testing in London
The Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy (HNPP) PMP22 deletion analysis 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.
HNPP is an autosomal dominant inherited neuropathy caused by a deletion of one copy of the PMP22 gene on chromosome 17p. It is the reciprocal genetic change to the CMT1A duplication. HNPP causes recurrent episodes of numbness, weakness, and muscle atrophy triggered by minor pressure or trauma to peripheral nerves.

Who Should Consider HNPP PMP22 Deletion Testing?
Individuals with recurrent, painless episodes of focal weakness or sensory loss affecting individual nerves, particularly at common compression sites such as the elbow (ulnar nerve), wrist (median nerve), or fibular head (peroneal nerve). Those with nerve conduction studies showing conduction block or focal slowing at entrapment sites with background mild generalised slowing.
HNPP follows autosomal dominant inheritance. Each child of an affected individual has a 50% chance of inheriting the deletion. Genetic counselling is recommended to discuss the 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.
