Centogene CentoMetabolic Panel

Centogene has launched its CentoMetabolic panel, a first-line test for a range of rare genetic metabolic diseases. According to Centogene, the panel combines genetic and biochemical testing, allowing immediate confirmation of and better understanding of a disease's course, enhanced treatment monitoring, and tailored treatment guidance. The panel includes as many as 166 genes and was developed for patients suspected to have a metabolic disorder or presenting complex, overlapping symptoms, a metabolic crisis, or neurological conditions of unknown etiology. The firm said that the panel provides short turnaround times, targets critically ill patients, includes enzyme-activity testing and a continually updating set of biomarkers.
