Order Niemann-Pick Disease Test | Carrier TestingNiemann-Pick disease Type A and Type B are inherited lysosomal storage disorders caused by reduced activity of acid sphingomyelinase, an enzyme encoded by the SMPD1 gene. This carrier test examines four specific mutations in that gene, using a blood sample to determine whether a person carries a change that could be passed to a child.
About Niemann-Pick Disease Test | Carrier Testing in Freeport
Carrier testing looks for genetic changes that may not cause symptoms in the person tested but can affect reproductive risk.
Niemann-Pick disease Type A and Type B follow an autosomal recessive pattern. A person who carries one altered copy of SMPD1 typically has no signs of the disease, because a single working copy is enough to produce usable enzyme.
When two carriers have a child, each pregnancy carries a one-in-four chance that the child inherits two altered copies and is affected, a two-in-four chance that the child inherits one altered copy and is a carrier, and a one-in-four chance that the child inherits two working copies.
The four mutations included in this panel are among those reported in affected individuals, but they do not represent every possible change in SMPD1. A negative result reduces the likelihood of being a carrier without eliminating it entirely, and results are best interpreted alongside family history and genetic counseling.
