The Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Gene Panel by NGS analyzes key genes associated with hereditary forms of hemiplegic migraine, a rare neurological condition marked by migraine episodes accompanied by temporary weakness or paralysis. Using an EDTA blood sample, this test identifies mutations that affect neuronal ion channels and neurotransmission. Metropolis Healthcare uses advanced next-generation sequencing to ensure precise detection and clinically valuable insights. The results support accurate diagnosis, subtype identification, and personalized treatment planning.
