Lysosomal Storage Disease Gene Panel, Varies
Use
The Lysosomal Storage Disease Gene Panel is designed to follow up on abnormal biochemical results and confirm suspected cases of lysosomal storage disease (LSD). By establishing a molecular diagnosis, the test helps identify variants within genes associated with LSD, allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members. This aids in the management and counseling of patients with LSD.

Limitations
The test is limited by the scope of next-generation sequencing, which primarily detects single nucleotide and copy number variants. Sequence Capture and Next-Generation Sequencing, along with PCR and Sanger Sequencing, are employed; however, limitations exist in the detection of very low frequency variants and some structural variations. Other mutational types may not be detected.
