This program provides access to genetic testing for pediatric patients under 18 who present with an unprovoked seizure. The panel evaluates key epilepsy-associated genes to support diagnostic confirmation, inform prognosis, and guide clinical management. Testing is available to eligible patients when ordered by a licensed healthcare provider.

The Detect Lysosomal Storage Diseases Program provides no-charge genetic testing for patients in the US or Canada when an LSD is suspected. Eligible patients may present with clinical features, abnormal enzyme studies, positive newborn screens, or relevant family history. Testing through Invitae’s LSD panel can help confirm diagnosis and guide management.

The Lantern Project provides sponsored genetic testing for patients with suspected lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). LSDs are multisystem disorders caused by impaired lysosomal function and often present with overlapping features. This program supports timely diagnosis by offering testing options for major conditions including Gaucher, Fabry, Pompe, and multiple MPS subtypes.
