Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

Your doctor has to : Document recurrent focal compression neuropathies with a family history consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance, in which each child of a person with hnpp has a 50% chance of having it ; request a chromosomal microarray from the lab on your insurance company's list. 80% of cases are from a deletion of the pmp22 gene on the short arm of chromosome 17; 20% a from a mutation in pmp22.
