Introduction

Understanding Your NGS Comprehensive Neurology Test

The NGS comprehensive neurology test is a cool, new way to look at your genes. It helps doctors find out what’s happening in your brain and nervous system.

What To Expect?

Overview Of The Test
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): This cutting-edge technology sequences your
DNA to detect genetic variants linked to neurological conditions. Looks at your DNA to find any changes that might cause neurological problems

Common Neurological Disorders

  1. Alzheimer’s Disease: Memory loss and cognitive decline.
  2. Parkinson’s Disease: Tremors, stiffness, and slow movement.
  3. Epilepsy: Seizures caused by disturbed brain activity.
  4. Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Fatigue, difficulty walking, and pain.
  5. Stroke: Poor blood flow to the brain causing cell death.
  6. Migraine: Severe headache with nausea and light sensitivity.
  7. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Loss of muscle control.
  8. Huntington’s Disease: Breakdown of nerve cells affecting movement and cognition.
  9. Peripheral Neuropathy: Weakness, numbness, and pain in hands and feet.
  10. Tourette Syndrome: Uncontrollable movements or sounds.
  11. Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Muscle weakness and paralysis.
  12. Myasthenia Gravis: Muscle weakness due to nerve issues.
  13. Bell’s Palsy: Temporary facial muscle weakness.
  14. Encephalitis: Brain inflammation causing headache and confusion.

Spinal Cord Disorders: Issues causing symptoms depending on the affected area.
