Background:
Gluconeogenesis disorders are a set of conditions which initiate or involved in glucose production for energy metabolism. Disruption in these biochemical pathways include neurological disorders, failure to thrive, and elevated lactate levels. This next-generation sequencing test assesses the coding regions in four genes associated to gluconeogenesis disorders. These conditions are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
