About 1% of babies are born with some type of genetic alteration and it is estimated that 25% of pediatric admissions are due to genetic diseases. 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.
All genes included in each of our targeted exomes are clinically highly relevant and have been selected from information contained in reference databases such as OMIM, HGMD, ClinVar and HPO, and in the most recent scientific literature.
DESCRIPTION
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.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Delivery time: 35-45 days
DESCRIPTION
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.

DESCRIPTION
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.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Delivery time: 35-45 days
DESCRIPTION
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.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Delivery time: 35-45 days
DESCRIPTION
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.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Delivery time: 35-45 days
DESCRIPTION
The term dysmorphology refers to a part of medical genetics that deals with the study of human malformations or congenital defects, which may have a genetic or environmental origin, accompanied or not by intellectual or psychomotor developmental delay.
Bone malformations
Craniofacial malformations
Congenital disorders of brain morphogenesis
Connective Tissue Disorders
Other polymalformative syndromes
CHARACTERISTICS

DESCRIPTION
We offer different diagnostic possibilities based on exome sequencing, including the Clinical Exome study and the Trio Exome for familial cases.
DESCRIPTION
We perform studies involving the analysis of a single gene, both by Sanger sequencing and NGS.
DESCRIPTION
We use the MLPA technique (Multiplex Ligation-dependent
Probe Amplification) for the identification of deletions/duplications or methylation alterations in a
methylation alterations in a specific gene or region.
- EDTA blood (1x 5 ml)
- Saliva (specific Isohelix kit)
- Buccal exudate (2x sterile isopes)
- Isolated DNA (>30 ng/μl in >100 μl)
Remember to label each sample with the patient's first and last name or with the identifier used on the request form.
