Metabolic Disorders
Diagnosis through genetic testing can strongly help uncover the cause of persistent, often debilitating, undiagnosed symptoms in patients suffering with suspected genetic metabolic disorders. With knowledge of variants in over 1,250 metabolic disease genes, our rapid testing and extensive experience of metabolic disease can help you diagnose and manage your patients’ metabolic disorder quickly and correctly. Ultimately this can provide new insights into treatment options and predict the likelihood of passing the inherited condition on to offspring or the presence of it elsewhere in the family.
CentoICU®
CentoICU® is a comprehensive NGS panel that includes genes explicitly selected for the genetic testing of critically ill newborns and children under 24 months in intensive care units (ICU). It is designed to address multiple genetic conditions that may be present in the newborn or early childhood period, with many having overlapping phenotypes and immediate implications for treatment initiation. It allows clinicians to utilize just one single test to provide an accurate diagnosis of newborn-related diseases using dried blood spots.
| No. of genes: | 851 |
| TAT: | 15 days / 10 days (fast option) |
| Coverage: | ≥99.5% ≥20x |
| Details: | CNV not available |
Common syndromes and disorders covered
More than 100 associated conditions that become present in the newborn or early childhood
CentoIEM
Inborn Errors of Metabolism largely impact human diseases. CentoIEM includes a large array of different disorders and includes genes responsible for diverse phenotypes, including intermediary metabolism, such as aminoacidopathies, organic acidurias, urea cycle disorders, sugar intolerance, metal disorders, and porphyrias, among others. Cytoplasmic and mitochondrial energetic processes and metabolism affecting cellular organelles, such as lysosomal, peroxisomal, glycosilation, and cholesterol syntesis are also included.
| No. of genes: | 491 |

CentoMetabolic®
CentoMetabolic® was developed specifically for patients suspected of having a metabolic disorder or presenting complex, overlapping symptoms, a metabolic crisis, or neurological conditions of unknown etiology. It provides short turnaround times, targeting critically ill patients in NICU/PICU, and includes enzyme-activity testing where applicable as well as a proprietary selection of biomarkers that is continually updated.

| TAT: | 25 days |
| Coverage: | ≥99.5% ≥20x |
| Details: | Complementary biochemical testing by proprietary biomarkers and enzyme activity assays if applicable |

CentoMito® comprehensive
CentoMito® comprehensive covers the entire mitochondrial genome (≥97% ≥ 200x coverage) along with 365 nuclear genes related to mitochondrial diseases (≥99.5% ≥20x coverage). It includes a sequence analysis of 365 nuclear encoded mitochondrial proteins and the complete mitochondrial genome detection of heteroplasmy down to 5%. Large MT gene deletions are also covered by this panel. Mitochondrial diseases are genetic conditions that occur when mitochondria fails to produce enough energy for the cell. Genetic mutations related to mitochondria cause symptoms mainly in the organs, where energetic consumption is high. These organs include the eye, kidney, pancreas, blood, inner ear, colon, skeletal muscle, heart, and brain.

Diabetes and obesity panel
Our diabetes and obesity panel is recommended for patients with abnormalities in glucose metabolism, such as hyperinsulinemic hypoglicemia, diabetes neonatal, MODY, diabetes in adults, and familial hypercholesterolemia as well as for patients displaying insulin resistance, from mild to the severe spectrum (Donohue syndrome, also known as lepreuchanism), and for patients with familial hyperinsulinism. Disorders such as transient neonatal diabetes mellitus 6q24 related or Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome are not detectable by this method. Specific genetic disorders are caused by imprinting errors and uniparental disomy, and they can not be detected by sequence analysis.
| No. of genes: | 155 |
| TAT: | 25 days |
