Test Overview
This next-generation sequencing test decodes the entire LIPA gene to definitively diagnose cholesterol ester storage disease (CESD) and Wolman disease. It replaces invasive liver biopsies and provides a molecular diagnosis for hepatosplenomegaly, dyslipidemia, and accelerated cardiovascular risk.
يقوم اختبار التسلسل الجيني الكامل لجين LIPA بتشخيص مرض تخزين إستر الكوليسترول ومرض وولمان بشكل قاطع، بديلاً عن الخزعات الكبدية.

Pre-Test Preparation & Facility License
Before sample collection, a clinical history review and a genetic counselling session are mandatory to document a detailed pedigree of family members affected with cholesterol ester storage disease. Our facility is licensed by DHA/MOHAP under License No: 9834453.
Sample Types Accepted: Whole Blood (preferred), Extracted DNA, or One drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a clinical pathologist, I urge every patient to understand that this test is a cornerstone—not a replacement—for comprehensive evaluation. A positive result should prompt hepatology referral and consideration of enzyme replacement therapy, while a negative result requires further metabolic workup if symptoms persist.” – Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License: 61713011
⚠️ Clinical Alert: Do not discontinue any prescribed lipid-lowering, statin, or other chronic medication without consulting your treating physician.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Pregnant women: only after genetic counsellor clearance; confirm blood collection is acceptable.
- Recent blood transfusion or bone marrow transplant: wait at least 4 weeks to avoid donor DNA interference.
- Acute febrile illness: reschedule until fully recovered.
- Immediate ER Red Flag: If a newborn or infant presents with severe abdominal distension, vomiting, hepatosplenomegaly, and failure to thrive, consider Wolman disease and seek urgent hospital care.
