Dice Panel
Overview:
Dice Panel is a comprehensive diagnostic panel used to evaluate the underlying causes of developmental, intellectual, neurological, or congenital disorders, depending on the specific gene set included in the panel. It uses genetic testing to identify disease-causing variants that may help establish a molecular diagnosis.
What does it help detect?
- Genetic causes of developmental delay and intellectual disability
- Congenital anomalies and syndromic disorders
- Neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions
- Inherited metabolic or multisystem disorders
- Other rare genetic diseases covered by the panel
Sample: Blood / EDTA whole blood, as specified by the laboratory
Method: Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), with variant analysis and interpretation
Result: Identified variants are classified according to established clinical guidelines and correlated with the patient's clinical findings.
Who may benefit?
- Individuals with unexplained developmental or neurological abnormalities
- Patients with suspected inherited disorders
- Children with multiple congenital abnormalities
- Families requiring genetic evaluation or diagnostic clarification
Clinical significance:
A positive result may help confirm a genetic diagnosis, guide clinical management, support prognosis, and assist with family counselling and future reproductive planning. A negative result does not necessarily exclude a genetic condition.
Note: Genetic counselling and clinical correlation are recommended for appropriate interpretation of results.
