Increasing the value
of genetic testing
Accurate results
through cutting-edge
NGS testing
We offer comprehensive neurogenetic testing, backed by a multidisciplinary team of clinical neurology experts, laboratory scientists, and genetic counselors, to provide the highest standard for mutation detection for the most common hereditary neurological conditions.
Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ emphasis on algorithmic and phenotypic testing approaches ensures the right patient receives the right test at the right time.
World-class
testing
Mayo Clinic experts designed our testing with a focus on both breadth and depth of coverage to ensure detection of any genetic variants present. Our carefully designed tests include supplemental assays to ensure thoroughness in areas of low coverage.
Genes with clinical significance
Well-curated panels of genes are the foundation of our genetic tests. By targeting genes with clinical significance known to play a role in neurological disease, we eliminate variants in genes of unknown significance and potentially confusing results.
A focus on test utilization
Our focus on providing the right test for the right patient underscores our belief in an algorithmic and phenotypic approach to test ordering. This approach enables clinicians to efficiently procure answers, saving time and money for their institution.
