The Glycine Encephalopathy Gene Panel by NGS analyzes key genes associated with nonketotic hyperglycinemia, a severe metabolic disorder caused by impaired glycine breakdown. Using an EDTA blood sample, this test detects pathogenic variants affecting the glycine cleavage system. Metropolis Healthcare performs high-precision next-generation sequencing to ensure accurate diagnosis and meaningful clinical interpretation. The results support early detection, treatment planning, and genetic counseling for families.
