The National Metabolomics Platform is a specialized laboratory dedicated to diagnosing rare and inherited metabolic diseases. Located on the Potchefstroom campus of North-West University, the laboratory may occasionally require additional tests, including genetic testing, to confirm a diagnosis. If these tests incur additional costs, the laboratory will seek prior approval from you and/or your clinician. To ensure diagnostic accuracy, clinical information and other reports may also be requested. Such requests are made solely to enhance the precision of the diagnosis. Following a diagnosis, the laboratory may contact you about potential research projects for which you might be eligible. These projects aim to improve the understanding and characterization of rare diseases and offer patients opportunities to participate in international clinical trials. Participation in these projects is entirely voluntary, and there is no obligation to take part if contacted. All research is conducted under the oversight of the NWU Health Research Ethics Committee.
