Endocrinology
A large number of endocrine system diseases have a genetic basis, so that a genetic study allows a differential diagnosis to be made and the correct diagnosis to be obtained in the patient.

Pancreatic axis I: 4 studies
This group encompasses a series of genetic studies focused on diseases that affect pancreatic function and glucose metabolism. Among these, diabetes stands out as a chronic and irreversible disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, due to reduced insulin secretion or impaired insulin action. We offer a targeted exome analysis that examines genes associated with monogenic diabetes, including various subtypes such as neonatal diabetes, syndromic neonatal diabetes, and MODY diabetes, with a specific test for the latter. Additionally, we offer tests targeting genes related to hyperinsulinemia, as well as genes implicated in pancreatitis and pancreatic insufficiency, thereby providing a comprehensive genetic evaluation.

Adipose tissue I: 2 studies
Adipose tissue is a key endocrine organ in the regulation of energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity; therefore, abnormalities in this tissue can manifest as disorders of body composition and be associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and early metabolic complications. We offer targeted genetic testing for adipose tissue abnormalities, aimed at diagnosing congenital and familial lipodystrophies, as well as monogenic or syndromic obesity, particularly in cases of early onset or with a family history.

Thyroid Axis I: 2 studies
Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland does not function properly, either because it is producing too much T4 hormone or because it is not producing enough. We offer two targeted exome tests that analyze the genes associated with the two main types of thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism) as well as other related conditions.
