Exciting news for the Division of Molecular Diagnostics!

Effective September 8, 2025, London Health Sciences Centre’s (LHSC) Division of Molecular Diagnostics will be offering a new neuromuscular disease testing panel in accordance with provincial testing recommendations. This testing will replace the current Charcot-Marie-Tooth panel in addition to expanding the list of tests for genes associated with additional neuromuscular disorders.
