Genetic testing for metabolic disorders

Comprehensive genetic diagnostics for hereditary metabolic disorders, also known as “inborn errors of metabolism” is becoming increasingly important. Hundreds of inherited metabolic disorders have been identified. These include disorders of lysosomal storage, fatty acid oxidation, creatine metabolism, glycosylation, glycogen storage and urea cycle, peroxisomal disorders, organic acidemias, hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinism and ketone metabolism deficiency, lipodystrophy, hyperphenylalaninemia, and mitochondrial DNA depletion.

These medical conditions vary in severity and age of onset, and they can cause lifelong health problems or even death. Read more about genetic testing for metabolic disorders.
