| description | This panel contains quantitative results for beta-hexosaminidase A (HEX A) and total beta-hexosaminidase enzymatic activity in white blood cells (leukocytes) for the carrier detection and diagnosis of Tay-Sachs disease. This test may also be ordered for carrier detection and diagnosis of Sandhoff disease, but not all positive results indicate true carriers of Sandhoff disease so follow-up molecular testing is recommended. | ||||||||
