Genomic Testing for Autism spectrum disorder, PANDAS & PANs

Genomics is a complicated field of medicine that is still being developed and understood. IntellxxDNA genomic testing looks at genetic variations related to nutrients, inflammation, mitochondria, toxicant removal, immune function, brain scaffolding, brain plasticity, and neurotransmitters and then brings research-based information to interpretation and treatment. 

The answer to this question is a personal one with many dynamic factors. It is not uncommon for families of children with autism to have spent thousands of dollars on tests, therapies, and treatments, often with mixed results.  It is not uncommon for families of children with PANDAS or PANS to struggle to receive treatment for their child, who may experience recurring episodes or chronic symptoms. It is not uncommon for families of children with ADHD to have spent hundreds of dollars a month for stimulant prescriptions. Once probable contributing genetic factors are identified with IntellxxDNA testing, we can used evidence-based information to pinpoint which nutrition changes, vitamins, supplements, lifestyle changes, and/or medications have the highest chance of improving your child’s outcomes.  

Precision medicine is an approach to patient care that moves past a one-size-fits-all treatment approach and involves tailoring medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient, including their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. Genomic testing helps us to better understand the underlying causes of disease on an individual level and to identify the most effective interventions for that unique person.
