Comprehensive Brain Malformations Panel
Use
This panel targets structural brain malformations that arise from disturbances in normal brain development, including cortical malformations, Joubert syndrome, and pontocerebellar hypoplasia. Patients often present with developmental and neurological symptoms such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, and movement disorders. Genetic analysis helps clarify diagnosis and inform clinical management.
