Test Details
A microcephaly gene panel is a genetic test that analyzes a set of genes associated with microcephaly. Microcephaly is a condition characterized by an abnormally small head size and brain volume. The panel includes genes known to cause primary microcephaly (genetic microcephaly) as well as genes associated with secondary microcephaly (acquired microcephaly).
The test is usually performed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. By analyzing these genes, the test can help diagnose the underlying genetic cause of microcephaly and guide appropriate management and treatment options.
