About this study
The purpose of this study is to validate and evaluate several diagnostic tests in whole blood dried on filter paper (dried blood spots, DBS), the typical specimen used for newborn screening. Test validation requires the analysis of samples of affected patients and healthy controls, both children and adults.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of an LSD either confirmed by the physician overseeing their care, a diagnosis made by one of the tests in the Biochemical Genetics Laboratory, or who have an LSD based on information in their medical record suggested by inclusion criteria
- Be a 1st degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) of an LSD patient based on one of the above mentioned criteria.
