Table 1. Diagnostic Determinations based on Confirmatory Testing Results.

“True positive” denotes all disease phenotypes, regardless of predicted severity or age of onset.

Enzyme Activity Mutation(s) Biomarkers
True Positive Within laboratory’s affected range Known mutations or likely pathogenic alleles Elevated GAGs (MPS1) or Glc4 (Pompe)
Not Affected Low, but above laboratory’s affected range, or Within laboratory’s normal range No mutations, or Carrier (one mutation plus wild type or pseudodeficiency allele) or Two pseudodeficiency alleles Normal GAGS (MPS1) or Glc4 (Pompe)
Undetermined Disease Status Low, but above laboratory’s affected range Two variants of uncertain significance, or One variant of uncertain significance and one known or likely pathogenic allele Normal GAGS (MPS1) or Glc4 (Pompe)
