Test: Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) / Mucopolysaccharides Quantitative Test

The Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) / Mucopolysaccharides Quantitative Test is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the body. GAGs are long unbranched polysaccharides that are an important component of connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons, and skin. They play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of these tissues.

This test is used to identify and monitor certain genetic disorders known as mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), which are caused by a deficiency of enzymes that break down GAGs. As a result, GAGs accumulate in various tissues and organs, leading to a range of symptoms including skeletal abnormalities, heart and respiratory problems, and neurological issues.

By measuring the levels of GAGs in the blood or urine, healthcare providers can assess the severity of the condition, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment decisions. This test is particularly important in the early diagnosis of MPS, as early intervention can help improve outcomes and quality of life for affected individuals.
