Find out if you have an inherited metabolic disorder that could be affecting your health. Evartia is a comprehensive genetic test that detects mutations in 223 genes involved in metabolic pathways—helping you understand, manage, and treat metabolic conditions before they cause serious complications.

Metabolic pathways play essential roles in keeping our bodies healthy, including producing energy and extracting nutrients from the foods we eat. When a genetic mutation occurs in a metabolic pathway, it can lead to a buildup of toxic substances or insufficient production of essential products, affecting health and development.

The test uses a simple, painless cheek swab—no needles, no blood. Whether symptoms appeared at birth, in childhood, or are only now emerging in adulthood, Evartia can help identify the underlying cause and guide your treatment.

Why Choose Evartia?

  • Comprehensive 223-gene panel – Covers all major categories of inherited metabolic diseases
  • Simple cheek swab – Painless collection, no needles, no blood
  • Understand your condition – Know what you have and how it may progress
  • Guide treatment decisions – Help your doctor choose the best clinical management
  • Identify at-risk family members – Know who else should be tested
  • Results in 2–3 weeks – From sample arrival at the laboratory

What Can Evartia Help You Identify?

  • Diseases you may currently have
  • Your prognosis—how the disease will progress based on your specific mutation
  • The best treatment and clinical management for you
  • Complications you should be aware of
  • How it will affect your life
  • Who in your family should be tested
  • Who can help you—specialised doctors, dieticians, support groups

Symptoms of Metabolic Diseases

Symptoms of inherited metabolic diseases usually appear shortly after birth. However, depending on the mutation, the metabolic pathway involved, and the severity of the condition, some people develop symptoms in early or late adulthood.

Symptoms can also occur suddenly due to:

  • Specific foods or medications
  • Dehydration
  • Illness or infections
  • Physical stress or other triggers

With Evartia, detecting and managing a metabolic disorder early can prevent or reduce symptoms, avoid chronic health consequences, and improve your quality of life.

Results in 2–3 weeks

Results are available within 2–3 weeks from the sample arriving at the laboratory. Please allow up to 4 weeks to receive your results from the date of purchase.

Quick note: Make sure you fill in the document with your details and send it back with the test kit. Use the prepaid envelope provided to send your sample back to our UK address.

How It Works

We'll send you a collection kit with buccal swabs (cheek swabs), simple instructions, and a prepaid return envelope. Just swab the inside of your cheek—it's completely painless and takes less than a minute. No needles, no blood, no clinic visit needed.

Your kit includes: Buccal swab collection materials, step-by-step instructions, consent form, and prepaid return envelope.

Who Is This For?

  • Anyone with unexplained symptoms that could indicate a metabolic disorder
  • People with a family history of inherited metabolic diseases
  • Individuals experiencing symptoms triggered by certain foods, medications, or illness
  • Parents of children showing developmental delays or unexplained health issues
  • Adults with late-onset symptoms seeking a diagnosis
  • Anyone wanting to understand their metabolic health at a genetic level

Evartia covers all major categories of inherited metabolic diseases through a comprehensive panel of 223 genes involved in metabolic pathways.

Good to Know

Evartia is a genetic screening test that identifies mutations linked to inherited metabolic diseases. A positive result indicates you carry genetic variants that may be causing or contributing to metabolic dysfunction.

Many metabolic conditions can be managed effectively with dietary changes, supplements, medications, or other interventions—especially when detected early. Your results can also help identify other family members who may benefit from testing.

We recommend discussing your results with a metabolic specialist, genetic counsellor, or your GP. They can help you understand what your results mean and connect you with the right healthcare professionals, dieticians, and support groups.
