Testing For Huntington Disease Streamlined By Novel Test

High level of sensitivity and specificity reduces need for additional testing, reported in the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics A new test may help to streamline genetic testing for Huntington Disease (HD) by generating accurate results, avoiding unnecessary additional testing, and improving turnaround time. The test, which uses chimeric or triplet repeat primed PCR (TP PCR) methodology, yielded results that were 100% concordant with standard genotyping methods in an analysis of 246 samples...
