Cholestane-3-beta,5-alpha,6-beta-triol
Explanation: Cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol is a substance formed when cholesterol is broken down in the body. In certain rare genetic disorders, like Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC), cholesterol isn't processed properly, leading to a buildup of this compound. Measuring its levels in the blood can help identify such disorders.
Test Purpose: Detect Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC), a condition where cholesterol accumulates in the body's cells due to faulty processing.
