The Signs of Metabolic Disease
Metabolic genetic testing is carried out to specifically identify any genetic mutations that could cause inherited metabolic diseases. Metabolic pathways are essential to our bodies, helping us absorb nutrients from food and giving us the energy to tackle our daily routines. Having something go awry within these pathways can be extremely detrimental to our health and wellness – yet, you may not even know what side effects to look out for.
Here are some of the side effects that may be caused by metabolic diseases disrupting these pathways:
- Fatigue and lethargy
- Weight loss
- Stomach aches and pains
- Nausea and vomiting
- Psychological changes and effects
- Seizures
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of the above symptoms, metabolic genetic testing can help provide clearer answers and determine a treatment plan for the future.

Testing aims to identify genetic diseases of all kinds, no matter whether the genes are dominant or recessive.
When you screen for metabolic diseases, doctors can more efficiently identify the underlying cause for any symptoms you may be experiencing. These tests can also better inform families of whether there are inherited diseases they need to be aware of. The sooner you are diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin.
Anyone experiencing any of the symptoms above could be at risk of metabolic disease and should consider a genetic test to find out for sure.
