Invitae Comprehensive Lysosomal Storage Disorders Panel
Test description
The Invitae Comprehensive Lysosomal Storage Disease (LSD) panel analyzes up to 53 genes associated with lysosomal storage diseases. This panel may be appropriate for individuals with signs and symptoms of any lysosomal storage disease. Additionally, this panel may be appropriate for those in whom a LSD is suspected due to abnormal lysosomal enzyme study, abnormal tissue biopsy or abnormal newborn screen. Genetic testing of these genes may confirm a diagnosis and help guide treatment and management decisions.
Any individual with low enzymatic activity for any lysosomal enzyme must undergo variant analysis for disease confirmation. Most LSDs have known pseudodeficiency alleles, and these can cause false positive results on enzyme testing. Pseudodeficiency alleles result in 5%–20% of normal enzyme activity but do NOT cause clinical disease.
Please note that this panel does not include analysis for Gaucher disease.

Add-on Chitotriosidase Deficiency Gene
CHIT1
Chitotriosidase (chito) is an enzyme that can be elevated in some untreated lysosomal storage disorders such as Gaucher disease and Niemann-Pick types A, B, and C. The degree of elevation generally correlates with disease severity. Plasma chito levels are often utilized as a biomarker in the diagnosis and management of individuals with the aforementioned conditions. However, certain variants in the CHIT1 gene lead to absent or decreased chito levels (chito deficiency), limiting the utility of chito as an accurate biomarker unless genotype is available to aid in the interpretation of results. On its own, chito deficiency does not cause any human disease. This gene can be added at no additional charge.
Add-on Preliminary Evidence Gene
ATP13A2
Preliminary-evidence genes currently have early evidence of a clinical association with the specific disease covered by this test. Some clinicians may wish to include genes which do not currently have a definitive clinical association, but which may prove to be clinically significant in the future. These genes can be added at no additional charge. Visit our Preliminary-evidence genes page to learn more.
Add-on Adult-onset Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses Genes
CTSF DNAJC5 GRN
Individuals under the age of 18 should undergo comprehensive pre-test genetic counseling before considering genetic testing for adult-onset forms of NCL; specifically for the GRN gene, which, along with being associated with autosomal recessive NCL, is also associated with autosomal dominant frontotemporal dementia, a progressive neurodegenerative condition with an age of onset which ranges from the 30s to 80s.

Clinical description
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) comprise a constellation of monogenic disorders involving the disruption of normal lysosome function. Disease occurs due to loss of lysosomal enzyme activity or, less frequently, non-lysosomal proteins that are involved in transport across the lysosomal membrane, protein maturation or lysosomal biogenesis. These defects result in accumulation of undigested substrate within the lysosome and progressive tissue dysfunction.
The LSDs present with a broad and variable phenotypic spectrum. Disease manifestations depend on the specific accumulated substrate, the site of production and degradation of the substrate and amount of residual enzyme activity, but in general, LSDs are characterized by a progressive course with high morbidity and mortality. Affected individuals are typically normal at birth (although LSDs are a known cause of non-immune hydrops) and the age of postnatal symptom onset is highly variable. This variability can even occur within a single disease as LSDs are known to manifest with a continuum of severe though attenuated symptoms. LSDs are often multisystemic, and clinical features may include just one one or any combination of the following symptoms – coarse facial features, organomegaly, visual loss (especially cherry red spot observed on ophthalmologic exam), corneal clouding, hearing loss, white matter abnormalities, central nervous system dysfunction, developmental regression, skeletal dysplasia, contractures, short stature, hepatosplenomegaly, acroparaesthesias, interstitial lung disease, cytopenia, angiokeratomas, movement disorders, leukodystrophy, cardiomyopathy, psychiatric features such as psychosis and renal failure.
Treatment for most of the LSDs is supportive, but some specific LSDs have commercially available enzyme replacement therapies or substrate reduction therapies. These pharmaceuticals have not proven successful in treating central nervous system disease. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant has also been used successfully to treat some of the LSDs when performed before there is significant disease progression.
Inheritance
LSDs follow autosomal recessive inheritance, with the exception of MPS II, Danon disease and Fabry disease which are X-linked.
Prevalence/Incidence
The overall combined prevalence of all lysosomal storage diseases is estimated at 1:5000 but as LSDs are being added to newborn screening programs there are indications that the prevalence could be much higher. Certain ethnicities have a much higher prevalence of specific LSDs, such as Gaucher disease in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Overall, the sphingolipidoses and the mucopolysaccharidsoses are the most commonly observed LSDs.

Assay
Assay and technical information
Invitae is a College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified clinical diagnostic laboratory performing full-gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis using next-generation sequencing technology (NGS).
Our sequence analysis covers clinically important regions of each gene, including coding exons and 10 to 20 base pairs of adjacent intronic sequence on either side of the coding exons in the transcript listed below, depending on the specific gene or test. In addition, the analysis covers select non-coding variants. Any variants that fall outside these regions are not analyzed. Any limitations in the analysis of these genes will be listed on the report. Contact client services with any questions.
Based on validation study results, this assay achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions <15bp in length, and exon-level deletions and duplications. Invitae's methods also detect insertions and deletions larger than 15bp but smaller than a full exon but sensitivity for these may be marginally reduced. Invitae’s deletion/duplication analysis determines copy number at a single exon resolution at virtually all targeted exons. However, in rare situations, single-exon copy number events may not be analyzed due to inherent sequence properties or isolated reduction in data quality. Certain types of variants, such as structural rearrangements (e.g. inversions, gene conversion events, translocations, etc.) or variants embedded in sequence with complex architecture (e.g. short tandem repeats or segmental duplications), may not be detected. Additionally, it may not be possible to fully resolve certain details about variants, such as mosaicism, phasing, or mapping ambiguity. Unless explicitly guaranteed, sequence changes in the promoter, non-coding exons, and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Please consult the test definition on our website for details regarding regions or types of variants that are covered or excluded for this test. This report reflects the analysis of an extracted genomic DNA sample. In very rare cases, (circulating hematolymphoid neoplasm, bone marrow transplant, recent blood transfusion) the analyzed DNA may not represent the patient's constitutional genome.
