Mutation analysis: ADA, ADSL, DPYD, DPYS, HNF1beta, HPRT, MOCS1, MOCS2, GEPHRIN, PNP, PRPS1, SUOX, TP, UMOD, UMPH, UMPS.

Description: 
Mutation analysis by Sanger sequencing of exons and flanking intronic sequences is available for purine and pyrimidine disorders.
Clinical details: 
Characterisation of mutations is offered for molecular confirmation of defects identified by metabolite screens or enzyme assay. Identification of the molecular defect may be necessary for prenatal testing and cascade testing in families.
