AB  - Many  of  the  neurological  disorders  discussed  in  this  book  have  a  genetic  etiology  that  can  be  diagnosed  and/or  confirmed  by  chromosomal  or  molecular  testing.  Due  to  advances  in  genetic  technology,  the  range  of  testing  options  has  increased  dramatically  in  the  last  few  years.  Deciding  which  test  to  perform  and  how  to  interpret  the  results  can  be  daunting.  Accordingly,  in  this  chapter  we  review  the  different  types  of  clinically  available  genetic  tests.  These  can  be  employed  for  general  screening  or  for  confirmation  of  a  clinically  diagnosed  condition.  The  general  portfolio  of  such  testing  is  illustrated  in  Table  21-1,  and  this  chapter  will  review  these  types  of  tests.
