The spot test is not a reliable screening procedure for mucopolysaccharidoses.

To check the reliability of the Ames MPS paper spot test, which is based on the Azure A dye, we sent a series of urine samples to three laboratories where the spot test is part of the metabolic screening for mucopolysaccharidoses. In these laboratories false-negative results ranged between 19% and 35% and false-positive results ranged between 12% and 29% of all samples submitted. In contrast, t...

Dimethylmethylene blue-based spectrophotometry of glycosaminoglycans in untreated urine: a rapid screening procedure for mucopolysaccharidoses.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are measured in urine to screen for mucopolysaccharidoses. Other assay procedures are only qualitative (spot tests), can give false-negative results (spot tests, turbidity tests), or are relatively laborious (uronic acid-carbazole test). The present spectrophotometric procedure, based on the color reaction with dimethylmethylene blue (DMB), can be performed directly on...

The early laboratory diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidoses.

The early and accurate diagnosis of the mucopolysaccharidoses remains a problem for the clinical laboratory. Reported here is the systematic compari­ son of the ability of three common glycosaminoglycanuria screening proce­ dure (the Berry spot test, the AMES MPS® spot test, and the gross acid albumin turbidity test) to detect the mucopolysaccharidoses. These tests were run on random urine samp...

A review and selection of simple laboratory methods used for the study of glycosaminoglycan excretion and the diagnosis of the mucopolysaccharidoses.

The current state of knowledge on the biochemical abnormalities in the mucopolysaccharidoses is reviewed. Methods for the estimation and identification of glycoasminoglycans excreted in the mucopolysaccharidoses are discussed and a selection of simple and reliable methods of value in a small hospital laboratory have been given in detail in an appendix.

Validation of Urinary Glycosaminoglycans in Iranian patients with Mucopolysaccharidase type I: The effect of urine sedimentation characteristics

OBJECTIVE The first line-screening test for mucopolysaccharidosis is based on measurement of urinary glycosaminoglycans. The most reliable test for measurement of urine glycosaminoglycans is the 1,9-dimethyleneblue colorimetric assay. Biological markers are affected by ethnical factors, for this reason, the World Health Organization recommends that the diagnostic test characteristics should be ...
