Testing Algorithm

Testing begins with screening for mucopolysaccharidoses. If results are normal or indicate mucopolysaccharidosis VII, testing is complete.

 

If results indicate mucopolysaccharidoses II, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, IVA, IVB, or VI, quantitation of heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate and keratan sulfate may be performed at an additional charge.
