CentoMetabolic®
A panel that integrates genetic and biochemical testing for a fast diagnosis of a wide range of rare metabolic diseases.
Most patients suffering for rare metabolic diseases start with very severe phenotypes and with rapid progression of the disease that often leads to irreversible damage of their organs. A quick diagnosis is necessary for urgent treatment.

Why Choose CentoMetabolic®?
*When variants relevant to your patient are detected, we will automatically complement the genetic testing with biomarker and/or enzyme testing (if available) and include the results in your medical report.

Biomarker and enzyme testing
NCLs = Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis
MPS = Mucopolysaccharidosis
* Patients who qualify for Arylsulfatase A enzyme (MLD) testing will be contacted for submission of additional sample. Arylsulfatase A enzyme (MLD) testing requires ≥5ml EDTA blood (testing is performed in leukocytes). Samples have to arrive within 72hrs of collection.
