Molecular Genetics
Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum Panel
Background:
Disorders causing brain malformations are phenotypically heterogeneous; mutations in certain genes have been associated inherited conditions causing brain developmental issues. Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a birth defect where structural tissues bridging the two hemispheres of the corpus callosum are malformed or missing. This sequencing panel tests for syndromic forms of agenesis of the corpus callosum including Andermann syndrome and L1CAM-disorders. These conditions can be X-linked as well as autosomal recessive or dominant.
Reasons for Referral:
- Suspected genetic etiology of a brain malformation.
- Carrier testing
- Positive family history
