Exome Sequencing at No Cost for Eligible Patients with Seizure Disorders
At MD Genetic Clinic, we are proud to partner with GeneDx to offer free exome sequencing through the Epilepsy Partnership Program, an initiative aimed at helping more families get clear answers and personalized care.
Why Exome Testing for Epilepsy?
Why Exome Testing for Epilepsy?
Exome sequencing is now recommended by top medical societies as the first-line test for children with unexplained epilepsy. Yet many families still receive limited genetic panels that miss over half the genes known to be related to seizures.
57% of seizure-related genes are missing from many commercial epilepsy panels.
By offering full exome testing, we increase the chance of identifying a genetic cause and connecting patients to more effective, targeted care.
