Is a 511 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants.
In addition, it also includes the maternally inherited mitochondrial genome.Epilepsy is defined by recurrent, unprovoked seizures due to abnormal, synchronized neuronal firing in the brain. It is one of the most common neurological conditions. Approximately 20-30 % of epilepsy cases are caused by acquired conditions, but the remaining 70-80 % of cases are believed to be due to one or more genetic factors. The epilepsies can be broadly grouped into three classes: genetic generalized epilepsy (formerly idiopathic generalized epilepsy); focal epilepsy; and epileptic encephalopathy. There are then several specific syndromes within each class defined by differences in specific seizure types, electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and age of onset and disease progression. Epilepsy is also one of the features of many multisystemic genetic syndromes and often occurs in neurodegenerative diseases.

Test Features
Genetic factors can contribute to a wide range of neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions. Our Neurological Genetics Panel helps identify inherited genetic variants associated with dementia, movement disorders, neurodevelopmental conditions, and other neurological diseases, providing valuable information for diagnosis, risk assessment, family planning, and clinical management.
Our comprehensive testing panels may include genetic causes associated with: ●Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia ●Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) ●Parkinson's Disease ●Huntington's Disease ●Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) ●Hereditary Ataxias ●Epilepsy and seizure disorders ●Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ●Intellectual and developmental disabilities ●Other inherited neurological conditions
●Individuals with symptoms suggestive of a neurological disorder ●Those with a family history of dementia, Parkinson's disease, or other neurological conditions ●Families seeking to understand inherited risks ●Individuals considering predictive or presymptomatic testing ●Parents investigating potential genetic causes of neurodevelopmental conditions
●Supports accurate diagnosis and clinical management ●Identifies inherited risk factors ●Assists with family planning decisions ●Helps inform treatment and surveillance strategies ●Provides clarity for patients and their families
Using a blood or saliva sample, advanced genetic sequencing technology analyses genes associated with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions. Results are interpreted by experienced specialists and may be accompanied by genetic counselling to help you understand the findings and available options. Understanding your genetics can provide valuable answers, guide healthcare decisions, and help families plan for the future with greater confidence.
