Test Code PLSD Lysosomal and Peroxisomal Disorders Screen, Blood Spot

Reporting Name

Lysosomal/Peroxisomal D/O Scrn, BS

Useful For

Evaluation of patients with a clinical presentation suggestive of a lysosomal disorder, specifically Gaucher, infantile neurovisceral or chronic visceral acid sphingomyelinase deficiency,, Pompe, Krabbe, or Fabry disease, or mucopolysaccharidosis I or II; or a peroxisomal disorder, either X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy or Zellweger spectrum disorders

Testing Algorithm

First-tier results will be reviewed, and second-tier screening performed at a clinical biochemical geneticist's discretion at an additional charge. This minimizes the false-positive rate and maximizes the positive predictive value of screening for these disorders.

 

For more information see:

Newborn Screen Follow up for Fabry Disease

Newborn Screen Follow-up for Gaucher Disease

Newborn Screen Follow-up for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I

Newborn Screen Follow-up for Pompe Disease

Newborn Screen Follow-up for X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy

 

If the patient has abnormal newborn screening results for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy or a lysosomal disorder, immediate actions should be taken. Refer to the appropriate American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Newborn Screening ACT Sheet.(1)

Method Name

Flow Injection Analysis Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS)

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Specimen Type

Whole blood


Ordering Guidance


To evaluate adult patients with a clinical presentation suggestive of adrenomyeloneuropathy, the recommended test is POX / Fatty Acid Profile, Peroxisomal (C22-C26), Serum. Lysophosphatidylcholine concentrations may not be consistently elevated in adult blood spots.



Specimen Required


Supplies: Card-Blood Spot Collection (Filter Paper) (T493)

Container/Tube:

Preferred: Blood Spot Collection Card

Acceptable: PerkinElmer 226 filter paper, Munktell filter paper, Whatman Protein Saver 903 paper, local newborn screening card, or blood collected in tubes containing ACD or EDTA and dried on acceptable filter paper

Specimen Volume: 2 Blood spots

Collection Instructions:

1. An alternative blood collection option for a patient older than 1 year is a fingerstick. For detailed instructions, see How to Collect Dried Blood Spot Samples.

2. Completely fill at least 2 circles on the filter paper card (approximately 100 microliters blood per circle).

3. Let blood dry on the filter paper at ambient temperature in a horizontal position for a minimum of 3 hours.

4. Do not expose specimen to heat or direct sunlight.

5. Do not stack wet specimens.

6. Keep specimen dry.
