Abstract
Background: Sphingolipidoses are caused by a defective sphingolipid catabolism, leading to an accumulation of several glycolipid species in tissues and resulting in neurotoxicity and severe systemic manifestations. Methods & results: Urine samples from controls and patients were purified by solid-phase extraction prior to the analysis by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) combined withMS/MS. A UPLC-MS/MS method for the analysis of 21 urinary creatinine-normalized biomarkers for eight diseases was developed and validated. Conclusion: Considering the growing demand to identify patients with different sphingolipidoses early and reliably, this methodology will be applied for high-risk screening to target efficiently patients with various sphingolipidoses.
