Deoxysphingolipids (dSL) are elevated in patients with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type I (HSAN1) due to variants in SPTLC1 and SPTLC2, and measurement of dSL is useful to support a diagnosis of HSAN1.
Elevations in dSL may also be seen in patients with order disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, mitochondrial disease, glycogen storage disease type I, and, possibly, disorders of serine biosynthesis.
Additional testing is required to determine the specific cause of elevated dSL.

Sphingolipids, a class of lipids derived from sphingosine, are essential components of plasma membranes and lipoproteins. They are synthesized from L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA by the enzyme serine palmitoyltransferase. Deoxysphingolipids (dSL) are atypical sphingolipids derived from the amino acids alanine or glycine instead of L-serine and cannot be degraded by normal catabolic pathways. Pathologically elevated dSL have been identified as potential biomarkers in a variety of conditions such as hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1 (HSAN1), type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, mitochondrial disease, glycogen storage disease type 1, and possibly disorders of serine biosynthesis.
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous peripheral neuropathies. HSAN1 is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and is typically characterized by a later onset loss of pain and temperature sensation in the hands and feet, which can be accompanied by shooting pain attacks, lancinating pain, and skin ulcers predominantly affecting the lower limbs.
While variants in 5 different genes (SPTLC1, SPTLC2, ATL1, RAB7A and DNMT1) have been linked to HSAN1, the majority of variants are in SPTLC1 and SPTLC2, which encode 2 of 3 subunits of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) enzyme. Variants in these 2 genes lead to a shift in SPT substrate specificity from L-serine to L-alanine, which ultimately produces 2 neurotoxic deoxysphingolipids, 1-deoxymethylsphinganine and 1-deoxysphinganine. The accumulation of these metabolites in the cells and serum of affected patients is thought to cause the clinical features associated with HSAN1. A recent clinical trial found that L-serine supplementation safely reduced levels of 1-deoxysphingolipids in humans and suggested that supplementation may offer a clinical benefit.(1)

Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Elevation of deoxysphingolipids may indicate hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, type I caused by variants in SPTLC1 and SPTLC2.
Deoxysphingolipids may also be elevated in patients with other conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, mitochondrial disorders, glycogen storage disease type 1, and possibly disorders of serine biosynthesis.

Internal standard is added to the serum. Sphingolipids and deoxysphingolipids are extracted from the serum prior to injection onto a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system. Following chromatographic isolation, the concentration is measured by MS/MS analysis in the selected reaction monitoring positive mode. The ratio of extracted peak area to internal standard is utilized to calculate the concentration of sphingolipid and deoxysphingolipid species in the sample.(Unpublished Mayo method)
