Laboratory

Dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate and keratan sulfate panel - DBS

Definition

This panel contains quantitative measurements of dermatan sulfate (DS), heparin sulfate (HS), and keratan sulfate (KS) in dried blood spots. Elevations of dermatan sulfate and/or heparan sulfate is associated with mucopolysaccharidoses types I, II, III, or VI. Elevations of keratan sulfate is associated with mucopolysaccharidoses type IV. Testing is performed to screen newborns for mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) types I and II and to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with MPS types I, II, III, IV, and VI.
