Globotriaosylsphingosine
Explanation: Globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) is a fatty substance that builds up in the body when it can’t break down certain fats properly. This accumulation is characteristic of Fabry disease, a rare genetic disorder. Measuring lyso-Gb3 levels in the blood can help diagnose and monitor this condition.
Test Purpose:
- Detect Fabry disease by detecting elevated levels of lyso-Gb3 in the blood.
- Monitor disease progression and response to treatment in individuals diagnosed with Fabry disease.
- Assist in evaluating individuals with symptoms suggestive of Fabry disease or those with a family history of the condition.
