Private Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy - PMP22 deletion analysis Blood Test London

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.
