Biochemical Genetics Laboratory

The Biochemical Genetics Laboratory is a specialized laboratory that renders services for the diagnosis and clinical management of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). The laboratory started in 2001. Locally-available tests are offered, as well as overseas tests for some highly specialized diagnostic tests.
The locally-available tests are as follows:
• Urine Metabolic Screening
• Urine Organic Acid Analysis
• Comprehensive Urine Metabolic Profile
• Plasma Quantitative Amino Acid Analysis
• Paired CSF/Plasma Quantitative Amino Acid Analysis
• Plasma Branched Chain Amino Acids Quantitation
• Plasma Homocystine Quantitation
