Neurogenetics & Undiagnosed Disease Testing

Compare neurological genetic tests — targeted panels and whole exome sequencing — by specimen, turnaround time and USD price.

Neurogenetic testing is considered for unexplained developmental, epileptic, movement or neuromuscular presentations, especially where the family history or onset pattern is suggestive. A targeted panel is usually the first step; exome-level analysis is generally reserved for cases that remain undiagnosed after focused testing.

This hub compares first-line and exome-level options side by side so the escalation path is clear before booking.

Frequently asked about Neurogenetics & Undiagnosed Disease

When is whole exome sequencing appropriate? ▾

Exome-level analysis is generally considered when focused neurological testing is non-diagnostic or the presentation spans several systems. Our counselor reviews prior results before recommending a step.

Will my child's school or insurer receive the results? ▾

No. Results are released only to the ordering clinician and the patient or guardian, consistent with HIPAA and applicable state law.

How long does neurogenetic testing take? ▾

Focused panels typically return in 2-3 weeks; exome-level analysis in 4-6 weeks. Exact turnaround is listed per test above.
