title: Approach to patients with inherited neurologic disorders.
abstract: There have been tremendous advances in our understanding of inherited neurologic disorders. It is important to recognize that genetic factors contribute to common neurologic disorders once considered idiopathic. Diagnosing and counseling individuals with inherited neurologic disorders requires understanding of fundamental genetic principles. The essential approach to such patients and their family members is presented.
