Single test identifies 50 genetic diseases

A DNA test has been developed to screen patients for a range of neurological and neuromuscular genetic diseases quicker and more accurately than existing tests. The technology is able to identify over 50 hard-to-diagnose diseases, including Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophies and fragile X syndrome. It's hoped the test will end the 'diagnostic odyssey' for patients, which can sometimes take decades.
