Metabolon has developed a platform technology capitalizing on advances in mass spectrometry, proprietary software and database analysis to provide unprecedented insight into biochemical pathways. Along with information provided by whole genome or exome sequencing technologies, metabolite data provides ontology for determining genome wide associations. This insight is critical to determining penetrance of a gene determinant of interest and relating it to health status. Because metabolites are more closely linked to actionable information, metabolomics can provide clinicians with more insight to the patient’s health status. With or without genetic information, metabolomics will play a big role in the future of precision medicine.
