At ARUP Laboratories, we understand the unique challenges of diagnosing neurologic conditions in pediatric patients. Our pediatric neurology testing is designed to support clinicians with accurate, timely, and clinically relevant results.

Featured Test

Genome Sequencing (3019943)

Whole genome sequencing is the preferred test to establish a diagnosis when a genetic condition is suspected but clinical features are not suggestive of a single disorder. ARUP also offers Rapid Genome Sequencing (3019947) for acute scenarios when timely answers are essential.

Featured Testing for Pediatric Neurologic Conditions

Autoimmune Neurologic Diseases

ARUP offers autoimmune neurology panels built with pediatric-specific considerations in mind. We include antibodies such as myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) that are more commonly associated with encephalopathy in children than in adults. Additionally, to minimize unnecessary testing, we exclude paraneoplastic antibodies that have low diagnostic yield in pediatric populations.

Epilepsy

Our panels are carefully curated by ARUP pathologists and geneticists to include clinically significant genes, antibodies, and analytes associated with epilepsy.

Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Laboratory testing should be considered as part of a comprehensive evaluation for individuals with suspected autism spectrum disorder and/or developmental delay/intellectual disability. ARUP provides high-quality, accurate results to assist you with decisions about treatment and management.

Additional Tests

As a national reference laboratory, ARUP also offers a wide array of genetic, biochemical, immunologic, and other testing for conditions such as muscular dystrophy, developmental delay, multiple sclerosis, and rare diseases associated with neurologic symptoms.
