Neurology Test
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
- Alzheimer’s Disease: Memory loss and cognitive decline.
- Parkinson’s Disease: Tremors, stiffness, and slow movement.
- Epilepsy: Seizures caused by disturbed brain activity.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Fatigue, difficulty walking, and pain.
- Stroke: Poor blood flow to the brain causing cell death.
- Migraine: Severe headache with nausea and light sensitivity.
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Loss of muscle control.
- Huntington’s Disease: Breakdown of nerve cells affecting movement and cognition.
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Weakness, numbness, and pain in hands and feet.
- Tourette Syndrome: Uncontrollable movements or sounds.
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Muscle weakness and paralysis.
- Myasthenia Gravis: Muscle weakness due to nerve issues.
- Bell’s Palsy: Temporary facial muscle weakness.
- Encephalitis: Brain inflammation causing headache and confusion.
Spinal Cord Disorders: Issues causing symptoms depending on the affected area.


Benefits of the NGS Test
Thorough Check: It finds many genetic changes that other tests might miss.
Personalized Care: Helps doctors create a treatment plan just for you.
Early Detection: Finds problems early, making it easier to manage them.
Accurate Diagnosis: Enables accurate diagnosis of hereditary neurological conditions providing insights to improve management and outcomes.
Comprehensive Analysis: Detects a broad range of genetic mutations.
Preparation Tips
Before The Test
Consultation: Discuss your medical history and symptoms with your doctor.
Medications: While the test is not impacted by medication you might be taking. Please inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking.
Fasting: No fasting is typically required.
Consent: You are required to signs a consent form, acknowledging your understanding of the test.
Preparation Tips
During The Test
Sample Collection: Buccal swab sample is taken, with minimal discomfort.
Relaxation: Stay calm and follow instructions from the medical staff
After The Test Results And Follow-Up
Analysis: Your DNA is analyzed to identify variants in each gene included in the panel your provider ordered.
Review: Your provider will discuss the results and explain what they mean for you.
Next Steps: Based on the results, further testing, genetic counseling, or treatment options may be recommended.
