Metabolism and diet

Our offer includes 37 panels containing genes, disorders of which can be linked to metabolic diseases. Disease diagnostics based on genetic testing with the NGS method enables appropriate therapy for the patient.

Metabolism is the set of processes in our body that are responsible for producing and using energy. It also enables the removal of metabolic products from the body.

The metabolic processes are, for example, the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, heme synthesis or the urea cycle. The syndromes associated with metabolic disorders concern damage to the functions of genes responsible for the proper functioning of metabolic pathways. Thus, preventing the process from running properly. The most common genetic metabolic disorders occur when the patient inherits one damaged copy of the gene from each parent.

All genetic tests are performed using the next-generation sequencing method, using Illumina sequencers. Our tests are subject to internal and external control. The laboratory is subject to continuous external quality control.
