The Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation Gene Panel by NGS is designed to identify genetic mutations associated with disorders that lead to abnormal iron buildup in the brain. Metropolis Healthcare performs advanced next-generation sequencing on an EDTA blood sample to analyze multiple genes linked to NBIA syndromes. This test helps in confirming diagnosis, understanding disease progression, and guiding management strategies. It is especially useful for individuals showing early neurological symptoms or having a family history of NBIA-related conditions.
