Overview
The primary purpose of the Dysmorphology Panel NGS Genetic Test is to identify the genetic basis of physical abnormalities and developmental delays in individuals, especially children. By detecting pathogenic variants in genes associated with dysmorphology, this test enables accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for appropriate medical management, therapeutic interventions, and genetic counseling. It helps healthcare providers understand the underlying cause of symptoms, predict disease progression, and assess the risk of recurrence in families.
