For people progressing towards Alzheimer&#8217;s, Parkinson&#8217;s or dementia, the symptoms are so similar that even experienced doctors are left having to test one gene after another after another \u2014 searching for an answer for months while a family remains in a state of uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is known as the diagnostic odyssey, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genes2me.com\/\">Genes2Me<\/a> has developed a panel in order to put an end to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Problem With Testing One Disease at a Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with neurodegenerative diseases is that they don&#8217;t present themselves in a clear way. Early cognitive decline may appear to be Alzheimer&#8217;s, or Parkinson&#8217;s disease, or a number of other conditions, and the genes responsible for one disorder are often found during the investigation of another. If single-gene tests are carried out one after another, this takes up weeks or even years while each condition is ruled out in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there a smarter method? Yes, test all the relevant factors at once using a single blood sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meet the APD NGS Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genes2me.com\/ngs\/targeted-therapies\/alzheimer-parkingsons-dementia-panel\">Alzheimer Parkinson Dementia panel<\/a><\/strong> produced by Genes2Me is an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genes2me.com\/next-generation-sequencing-clinical-panels\">NGS assay<\/a><\/strong> based on hybridization which has been designed specifically to achieve this objective \u2013 offering a comprehensive analysis, delivering quick results, and being developed for use in the clinic rather than just on the laboratory bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/genes2me.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01-1-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genes2me.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01-1-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/genes2me.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/genes2me.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01-1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/genes2me.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01-1-700x525.png 700w, https:\/\/genes2me.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01-1-769x577.png 769w, https:\/\/genes2me.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01-1.png 1448w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s under the hood:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2022&nbsp; 139 clinically relevant genes, spanning ~101 gene families<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2022&nbsp; Whole coding sequence (CDS) coverage \u2014 no shortcuts, no missed hotspots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2022&nbsp; The target size is 0.39 Mb for high depth and a fast turnaround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2022&nbsp; Detects SNVs, InDels and CNVs \u2014 the mutation types that matter most<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2022&nbsp; Runs from a simple blood sample \u2014 no invasive procedures<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Numbers That Back Up Every Report<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of a panel depends on the data available.

A comprehensive and validated NGS panel such as APD is not only a superior test; it also represents a better approach to diagnosis since it is based on how patients actually present rather than on the way diseases are neatly categorised in a textbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your lab wants to stop using fragmented single-gene testing and instead go with a single definite answer, then the APD NGS panel is the one to choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One gene panel.
