Order Niemann-Pick Disease Test | Carrier TestingNiemann-Pick disease is a group of inherited lysosomal storage disorders caused by the buildup of sphingomyelin and other lipids within cells. This blood test detects four specific mutations linked to Niemann-Pick disease Types A and B, helping to identify individuals who carry a mutation that could be passed to their children.
About Niemann-Pick Disease Test | Carrier Testing in Kyle
Carrier testing examines a small sample of blood to look for genetic changes associated with Niemann-Pick disease.
Niemann-Pick disease Types A and B result from mutations in the SMPD1 gene, which provides instructions for producing an enzyme called acid sphingomyelinase. When this enzyme is deficient, sphingomyelin accumulates in the lysosomes of cells, particularly in the liver, spleen, lungs, and brain.
Carriers typically have one altered copy of the gene and one normal copy. They generally do not develop the disease, but they can pass the altered gene to their children. If both parents are carriers, each pregnancy carries a one-in-four chance of the child inheriting two altered copies and being affected.
This test identifies four mutations that account for a portion of Niemann-Pick disease cases. Because not all possible mutations are included, a negative result reduces but does not entirely eliminate the chance of being a carrier. Genetic counseling can help interpret results in the context of family history and ancestry.
