Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Screening for selected oligosaccharidosis

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

Oligosaccharidoses are characterized by the abnormal accumulation of incompletely degraded oligosaccharides in cells and tissues and the corresponding increase of related free oligosaccharides in the urine.

 

Clinical features of oligosaccharidoses often overlap; therefore, urine screening is an important tool in the initial workup for these disorders.

 

Enzyme or molecular analysis is required to make a definitive diagnosis.

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

Oligosaccharide analysis may be considered in the workup of unexplained refractory epilepsy. For more information see Epilepsy: Unexplained Refractory and/or Familial Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions.
