GeneDx offers a comprehensive neurogenetics test menu that includes:

  • Single gene tests
  • Expertly curated multi-gene panels, including panels with a small number of genes targeted to the highest yield genes, comprehensive panels, and large Xpanded gene panels which cover all known genes and newly emerging genes related to a broader clinical indication
  • Specialized testing
    • Methylation analysis
    • SMN1 and SMN2 dosage analysis
    • Repeat expansion analysis
    • Targeted Mosaic Variant analysis
  • Prenatal diagnosis options

 

Did you know? 

 

Our Xpanded panels offer trio-based analysis and are targeted specifically to your patient’s neuro phenotype, leading to reduced VUS rates.[4]

From answer to action

We are bringing the power of genomics to patients with neurological disorders. Whether seeking answers to pre-ordering questions, testing recommendations, or help with variant interpretation, our clinical experts are here to help neurologists, genetic professionals, and healthcare providers fully understand the benefits of genetic testing and avoid pursuing costly, more invasive tests.

 

Delivering more answers starts with the right tests

Our comprehensive menu helps ensure you have options to choose the right test(s) for your patients, while our clinical experts ensure you are supported throughout the entire testing process.
