Comprehensive analysis of pyrimidine metabolism in 450 children with unspecific neurological symptoms using high–pressure liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

Abstract: To evaluate the significance of inborn metabolic disorders of the pyrimidine degradation pathway, 450 children with unspecific neurological symptoms were comprehensively studied; 200 healthy children were recruited as controls. Uracil and thymine as well as their degradation products in urine were determined with an improved method based on reversed-phase HPLC coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry and detection by multiple-reaction monitoring using stable-isotope-labelled reference comp… Show more

“…This may explain the reduced corneal sensation and the development of neurotrophic keratitis in this child. Various manifestations associated with DHPD deficiency have been described, but most children present with microcephaly, epilepsy and abnormal EEG profile, however, many may be asymptomatic 4. Ocular manifestations such as microphthalmia, choroidal coloboma and nystagmus have also been reported 2…”
