Panel composition21 / 21

Every test in the panel, grouped by the system it looks at — one sample, one appointment.

Panel reach

The whole picture, in one coordinated panel.

tests

Eight systems, examined together.

Each category looks at a different system that can drive symptoms. Here is every test in the panel and what it looks for.

Genetic Causes

Screens for inherited genetic and chromosomal variations linked to developmental conditions

4 tests

Chromosomal Microarray (CMA 750K)
Detects chromosomal gains, losses, and structural variations at high resolution across 750,000 markers. A standard first-tier genetic test for developmental delay.
Whole Exome Sequencing
Sequences the protein-coding regions of the genome, roughly 20,000 genes, to identify genetic variants linked to developmental conditions.
Fragile X (FMR1)
Screens for the genetic mutation responsible for Fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and a known autism-associated condition.
MTHFR Polymorphisms
Checks for variations in the MTHFR gene, which affects how the body processes folate.

Folate Transport and Brain Development

Whether your child's body can get folate to the brain, a well-studied factor in developmental symptoms

1 test

FRAT IgG
Detects antibodies that can block folate from reaching the brain, a condition called Cerebral Folate Deficiency, one of the most consistent biomarkers identified in autism research.

Metabolic Defects

Detects disruptions in the energy and metabolic pathways that support growth and development

4 tests

Homocysteine
An amino acid marker linked to methylation and folate pathway function, relevant to neurological development.
NBS-49 Disorder Panel
A newborn screening panel covering 49 metabolic and genetic disorders, run here to rule out 49 treatable metabolic conditions.
Guanidinoacetate and Creatine
Assesses creatine synthesis pathways, relevant to energy metabolism in the brain and muscle.
Urine Organic Acids (GC/MS)
Analyzes metabolic by-products in urine to assess energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter balance, and gut microbiome activity.

Immune Function and Inflammation

Assesses immune imbalance and inflammatory responses that can affect development

5 tests

Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
A key inflammatory marker, elevated levels are associated with immune activation.
TNF-alpha
An inflammatory marker linked to immune system activity and chronic inflammation.
NK Cell Enumeration
Measures natural killer cell counts, part of the body's innate immune defense.
IgE / ALEX Allergy Panel
A broad allergy screening panel covering food and environmental triggers.
Neuron-Specific Enolase (NSE)
A sensitive marker of neuronal stress or injury.

Nutritional Health

Identifies key nutrient gaps that affect brain development and function

3 tests

RBC Folate
Measures folate stored in red blood cells, a longer-term marker than serum folate.
Active Vitamin B12
Measures the biologically active form of B12, directly relevant to neurological function.
25-Hydroxy Vitamin D
The standard marker for vitamin D status, tied to immune function and neurodevelopment.

Gut Health and Microbiome

Evaluates gut bacterial balance, closely linked to brain and immune health

2 tests

Gut Microbiome Analysis
Evaluates the bacterial balance in the gut, linked to brain and immune health.
Neurotransmitter Panel
Assesses neurotransmitter levels relevant to mood, behavior, and neurological function. Currently being standardized, may take under 3 weeks to results.

Toxin and Stress Load

Measures toxin exposure and chronic stress burden on the body

1 test

Heavy Metal Screening
Screens for exposure to common environmental heavy metals.

Oxidative Stress

Evaluates cellular stress that can affect brain and body function

1 test

Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC)
Measures the body's overall capacity to counteract oxidative stress. Currently being standardized, may take under 3 weeks to results.

Clinical guardrail

Tests requiring physician authorization, including FRAT, prompt a quick clinical intake or route to a Screening Call first if selected without one. This routes to the right next step, it never blocks the booking outright.

Minimum viable combination

Most families get the clearest picture with at least 4 categories included. Deselect below that and you'll see a gentle note, never a hard block, so you always stay in control of what you book.

FAQ

What is Yodaara?

Yodaara is a multidisciplinary program combining assessment, testing, nutrition guidance, and coordinated care for children with developmental delays, in one place.

What is the screening call?

A structured, doctor-led conversation that screens for early autism traits. Thirty minutes, no lab work, no commitment. Often the first step for a family that isn't sure yet.

Do I need all the tests?

Not necessarily. Some families start with FRAT alone. Some go straight to the full Autism Decoder Panel. A specialist can help you decide what makes sense based on what you're seeing.

Do supplements replace therapy?

No. Supplements address specific biological findings, like a folate pathway issue. Therapy addresses behavior, communication, and skill-building. Most care plans include both, working together.

Do you offer therapy?

Yes, personalized therapy plans are part of the care plan built around your child's results, including behavioral and speech support.

Do I need a referral from my pediatrician?

No. You can book a screening call or a test directly. Many families come to us after a pediatrician said to wait, and want a more direct answer sooner.

Is home collection available?

Home collection is available across India, with virtual consultations and coordinated follow-up from the Yodaara team.
