Test Id : HSMBS
Hepatosplenomegaly Panel, Blood Spot
Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
As a component of the initial evaluation of a patient presenting with hepatosplenomegaly using dried blood spot specimens
This test is not suitable for the identification of carriers.
This test should not be used as a monitoring tool for patients with confirmed diagnoses.
Highlights
This is a screening test for a select number of lysosomal and lipid storage disorders, including cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, Gaucher disease, and Niemann-Pick diseases types A, B, and C.
The above conditions may all have hepatosplenomegaly as a presenting sign, making this test a helpful component of a patient's initial evaluation.
Although Fabry disease does not have hepatosplenomegaly as a clinical symptom, it can be identified by this assay as the compound, globotriaosylsphingosine, is detected.

Ordering Guidance
This test should not be used for monitoring of patients with confirmed diagnoses. If a physician is requesting testing for monitoring purposes, see:
-CTXBS / Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis, Blood Spot
-GPSY / Glucopsychosine, Blood Spot
-OXYBS / Oxysterols, Blood Spot
This test's clinical sensitivity and specificity for the identification of Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is 75% and 89%, respectively. If NPC is strongly suspected, the recommended test is HSMP / Hepatosplenomegaly Panel, Plasma.

Clinical Information

Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Hepatosplenomegaly is a presenting or accompanying feature for many different inborn errors of metabolism. It typically is a consequence of chronic hepatic dysfunction or abnormal storage of lipids, sugars, or other improperly metabolized analytes due to a particular enzymatic deficiency. The diagnosis can occasionally be narrowed down by consideration of clinical symptoms; however, clinical diagnosis can be difficult due to similarity of clinical features across disorders, as well as phenotypic variability. Therefore, screening tests can play an important role in the workup of a patient presenting with hepatosplenomegaly who may have a lysosomal or lipid storage disorder.
The conditions detected in this assay are cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, Gaucher disease, and Niemann-Pick disease types A, B, and with a lower sensitivity and specificity C.
Patients with abnormal results should have follow-up enzymatic or molecular testing for confirmation of diagnosis.
Table. Conditions Identifiable by Method
| Disorder | Onset | Analyte detected | Gene | Incidence |
| Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) | Infancy-adulthood | 7-Alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (7a-C4) 7-alpha,12-alpha-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one (7a12aC4) | CYP27A1 | 1 in 50,000 As high as 1 in 400 in Druze population. |
| Phenotype: early onset diarrhea, cataracts, tendon/cerebral xanthomas, osteoporosis, neuropsychological manifestations, liver disease/hepatosplenomegaly. | ||||
| Gaucher disease | Type I: childhood/adult Types II/III: neonatal-early childhood | Glucopsychosine (GPSY) | GBA | Type I: 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 100,000 Types II/III: 1 in 100,000 |
| Phenotype: all types exhibit hepatosplenomegaly and hematological abnormalities. Type I: organomegaly, thrombocytopenia, and bone pain. Absence of neurologic symptoms. Types II/III: primary neurologic disease, developmental delay/regression, hepatosplenomegaly, lung disease. Patients with Type II typically die by age 2 to 4. Patients with Type 3 may have a less progressive phenotype and may survive into adulthood. | ||||
| Niemann-Pick type A/B (NPA/NPB) | NPA: neonatal NPB: birth-adulthood | Lyso-sphingomyelin (LSM) lyso-sphingomyelin 509 (LSM 509) | SMPD1 | Combined incidence 1 in 250,000 |
| Phenotype: NPA: feeding difficulties, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, neurologic deterioration, lung disease, hearing and vision impairment, cherry red macula, death usually by age 3. NPB: mainly limited to visceral symptoms; hepatosplenomegaly, stable liver dysfunction, pulmonary compromise, osteopenia. | ||||
| Niemann-Pick Type C(NPC) | Variable (perinatal-adulthood) | Cholestane-3-beta, 5-alpha, 6-beta-triol (COT) lyso-sphingomyelin 509 (LSM 509) | NPC1 or NPC2 | 1 in 120,000 to 1 in 150,000 |
| Phenotype: Variable clinical presentation. Ataxia, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy, dystonia, progressive speech deterioration, seizures, +/- hepatosplenomegaly. | ||||
Patients with Fabry disease may also be identified by this assay. The glycosphingolipid, globotriaosylsphingosine (LGb3), may be elevated in symptomatic patients and supports a diagnosis of Fabry disease. Normal values of LGb3 do not rule-out Fabry disease. Patients with Fabry disease do not have hepatosplenomegaly as an accompanying feature.

Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An elevation of 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and 7-alpha,12-alpha-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one is strongly suggestive of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.
An elevation of lyso-sphingomyelin and lyso-sphingomyelin 509 is highly suggestive of Niemann-Pick type A or B disease.
An elevation of cholestane-3-beta, 5-alpha, 6-beta-triol) lyso-sphingomyelin 509 (LSM 509) is highly suggestive of Niemann-Pick disease type C.
An elevation of glucopsychosine is indicative of Gaucher disease.

Patients with Wolman disease or cholestatic biliary atresia may have a profile similar to Niemann-Pick disease type C
Patients with bile acid malabsorption or ileal resection may have elevations of 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one
This test does not identify all causes of hepatosplenomegaly.
A positive test result is strongly suggestive of a diagnosis but needs follow-up by stand-alone biochemical or molecular assay.

A 3-mm dried blood spot is extracted with internal standard. The extract is subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. The MS/MS is operated in the multiple reaction monitoring positive mode to follow the precursor to product species transitions for each analyte and internal standard. The ratio of the extracted peak areas to internal standard is determined by LC-MS/MS is used to calculate the concentration of in the sample.(Unpublished Mayo method)
