    Components

    Interpretation

    Method

    Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

    Reference Range
    Ref. Range Notes

    Reference Values:

    Sorbitol: <35 mmol/mol creatinine
    Xylitol: <351 mmol/mol creatinine

    Interpretation:

    An interpretive report will be provided.

    All profiles are reviewed by the laboratory director and interpretation is based on pattern recognition. A detailed interpretation is given, including an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, and recommendations for in vitro confirmatory studies (molecular analysis).

    Interferences and Limitations

    Cautions: A positive test result is diagnostic of sorbitol dehydrogenase (SORD) deficiency-related neuropathy; however, it is strongly recommended to follow-up with molecular analysis. Molecular analysis of the SORD gene is complicated by the SORD2P pseudogene and specific molecular testing approaches maybe required.
