Pediatrics
The genetic study is the most efficient way to obtain a differential diagnosis among pediatric diseases, which is essential to select the most suitable treatment for each patient and to start it early.

Metabolic diseases
Inborn errors of the metabolism are a group of rare diseases caused by genetic defects that involve failure of the metabolic pathways. An increasing number of these syndromes can be treated if they are diagnosed at an early stage. We provide the study of 76 genes associated with the diseases included in the neonatal screening program recommended by the AEP, AAP and ACMG.
Studies included
DG Neonatal Metabolism (76 genes)
DG Extended Metabolism (257 genes)

Congenital heart disease
Congenital heart diseases are a group of diseases characterised by the presence of structural alterations of the heart caused by defects in its formation during the embryonic period. The vast majority of congenital heart diseases have a multifactorial aetiology, although it is estimated that 8-10% of the cases are due to a chromosomal anomaly, and 3-5% are associated with a monogenic syndrome. We include the study of 130 genes associated with syndromic and non-syndromic congenital heart disease.

Neonatal and infantile epilepsy
Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system in which normal brain activity is disturbed, causing seizures or periods of unusual behaviour and sensations, and even loss of consciousness. The underlying causes are multiple and heterogeneous. Through different studies we analyse various epilepsy phenotypes. We also include a specific panel for the study of epileptic syndromes of neonatal and infantile onset, as well as a general panel for more complex cases.
Studies included
DG Epilepsy (195 genes)
Neonatal and Childhood Epilepsy (108 genes)
Epileptic Encephalopathy (88 genes)
Generalised Epilepsy (10 genes)
Generalised epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (9 genes)
Focal epilepsy (30 genes)
Myoclonic Epilepsy (54 genes)
Infantile and Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (10 genes)

Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are defined as a chronic neurological dysfunction that can manifest through a series of symptoms related to social interaction, communication and lack of flexibility in reasoning and behaviour. The complexity of the clinical manifestations suggests a multi-causal aetiology with genetic alterations being the main cause. Using a targeted exome, we analyse more than 420 genes with a proven association with ASD.
Studies included
DG Autistic Spectrum Disorder (423 genes)

Intellectual disability
Intellectual disability refers to a group of cognitive disorders of heterogeneous and complex cause with a genetic component in most cases. Advances in genetics have increased the diagnostic rate of current studies by up to 30-40% of patients. Our targeted exome analyses more than 580 genes associated with intellectual disability.
Studies included
DG Intellectual Disability (587 genes)
X-linked Intellectual Disability (127 genes)
Fragile X syndrome (1 gene)
Angelman Syndrome
Prader-Willi syndrome
