Find Clarity About Neurological Health with PLP1 Gene Testing
When neurological symptoms appear in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The PLP1 Gene Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease test provides the answers you need to understand inherited neurological conditions and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding Your PLP1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the PLP1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease – a rare inherited disorder affecting the nervous system’s protective myelin sheath. Our comprehensive analysis provides definitive information about your genetic risk factors.

- Families with a history of neurological disorders or developmental delays
- Children showing symptoms like nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), muscle weakness, or coordination problems
- Individuals with unexplained movement disorders or progressive neurological symptoms
- Couples planning pregnancy with family history of inherited neurological conditions
