Baylor Genetics Announces Neuromuscular Disorders Panel

Retrieved on: 
月曜日, 5月 22, 2023

In addition to panel testing, Baylor Genetics offers Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) -- two of the most comprehensive precision diagnostic tests -- backed by expert clinical support for actionable treatment guidance. WES is used to understand the cause of a patient's symptoms (phenotypes) or a disease, especially when faced with a nonspecific presentation that may not be captured in a single panel. It provides insights into all genes in the human body, ensuring a full understanding of most genetic disorders. WGS takes this a step further, providing insights into the entire human genome, including the regions between genes. This extensive analysis can significantly increase diagnostic yield over all other types of genetic testing, empowering physicians and patients to make the most informed decisions about future care, family planning, or clinical trial eligibility.

Key Points: 
  • HOUSTON, May 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baylor Genetics , a clinical diagnostic laboratory at the forefront of genetic testing and precision medicine, today announced the availability of a Neuromuscular Disorders Panel (NGS Panel) .
  • Hereditary neuromuscular disorders can be difficult to accurately diagnose based on phenotype alone because of their inherent genetic heterogeneity.
  • Baylor Genetics’ Neuromuscular Disorders Panel assesses many genes based on a clinical indication to help clinicians and their patients achieve an accurate diagnosis sooner and have a better understanding of the prognosis and anticipated disease progression.
