Understanding Genetic Variants Linked to Cognitive and Developmental Traits

Know more about the genes that shape your development.

Certain genetic changes can influence brain development, learning ability, and cognitive function. Understanding your genetic profile can help reveal whether you carry variants associated with developmental or intellectual disabilities — even if signs have not yet appeared.

Using advanced next-generation sequencing (NGS), your DNA is analyzed to detect inherited changes linked to a wide range of conditions, including autism spectrum traits, global developmental delay, learning difficulties, and other neurodevelopmental challenges

Testing Process

A simple and non-invasive buccal swab is collected to obtain your DNA. Depending on your needs, the analysis may focus on specific genes (targeted panels), all protein-coding regions (whole exome sequencing, WES), or your complete genetic code (whole genome sequencing, WGS), offering different levels of insight.

Benefits of Genetic Insights

This information can bring greater clarity to your genetic status and help guide future decisions related to your well-being, learning support, or personal development.
