What this test is

This test is a genetic analysis that detects specific mutations associated with Niemann-Pick diseases. These diseases are lysosomal storage disorders that affect lipid metabolism. The test helps determine if an individual is a carrier of the mutations.

What it measures

Mutation 1 — reflects a specific genetic change linked to Niemann-Pick Type A
Mutation 2 — indicates a genetic alteration related to Niemann-Pick Type B
Mutation 3 — shows a genetic variant associated with lipid metabolism issues
Mutation 4 — represents another genetic mutation linked to Niemann-Pick diseases

What the test involves

The test involves a standard blood draw, where a sample of blood is collected from a vein in your arm. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory for genetic mutations.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians typically order this test for individuals with a family history of Niemann-Pick disease. It is also used for those who are planning a family and want to understand their carrier status.
