Success Story: Lyso-Gb1 as the Most Effective Biomarker for Gaucher Disease
Lyso-Gb1* has been identified as the most precise biomarker for Gaucher disease (GD)1. With a sensitivity and specificity of 100% (see below), it is the optimal biomarker for a sensitive and reliable diagnosis of GD. Evidence of patient data also proves that quantitation of this biomarker can serve as a direct indicator of disease burden and response to treatment for monitoring GD.1
LYSO-GB1 QUANTIFICATION IN GAUCHER PATIENTS AND CARRIERS
100% sensitivity and 100% specificity of Lyso-Gb1 leading to highest accuracy in patient identification for an optimal diagnosis.
LYSO-GB1 LEVELS IN GAUCHER PATIENTS ON THERAPY (N=19, MEAN ΔT BETWEEN T1-T5 = 6 WEEKS)
Lyso-Gb1 levels significantly and rapidly increase at time point t5 after a forced treatment break due to temporary unavailability of enzyme replacement therapy. Lyso-Gb1 thereby proves its superb capabilities for monitoring Gaucher disease.
*A method using Lyso-Gb1 is covered by US Patent No. 10,859,580, other pending US applications, and pending applications and patents in other jurisdictions.
