The Seckel Syndrome Gene Panel uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect mutations associated with Seckel syndrome, a rare genetic condition characterized by growth delays and developmental abnormalities. Metropolis Healthcare performs a detailed analysis of an EDTA blood sample to identify pathogenic variants linked to the disorder. This test supports early diagnosis, prognosis, and informed medical management. It also provides essential information for families regarding inheritance patterns and genetic counseling
