Scientists in Britain have announced that they are developing a genetic test that can detect several fairly common neurological conditions, thus ending the current "diagnostic odyssey" of multiple different genetic tests, which do not always give an accurate diagnosis and perpetuate people's uncertainty about whether they are sick.
It is known that the definitive diagnosis of certain not particularly rare diseases of genetic origin (which affect about 1 person in 3.000), such as Huntington's disease, some prions, fragile X chromosome syndrome or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are difficult because, although they have a genetic background, it is not known beforehand which test to do, with the result that the diagnosis of the condition is delayed for months or even years, especially in children.
