Extended diagnosis of purine and pyrimidine disorders from urine: LC MS/MS assay development and clinical validation - Fig 3

LC-MS/MS chromatograms of A: the Cal06 calibrator (16 μM) and urine specimens from B: a healthy proband; C: a patient with ADSL deficiency; D: a patient with HGPRT deficiency; E: a patient with UPB1 deficiency; and F: a patient with APRT deficiency. All intensities (Y-axes) have been normalized to 1.5*108 cps for better comparability and have been plotted against retention time (X-axes). Analytes have been numbered as follows: 1. URA; 2. DHU; 3. Thy; 4. DHT; 5. BUP; 6. ADN; 7. Hypo; 8. ALLOP; 9. BUIB; 10. Xan; 11. DHA; 12. dAdo; 13. AICAr; 14. ADS; 15. HMU; 16. Oro; 17. dUrd; 18. THD; 19. PSU; 20. dIno; 21. dGui; 22. Ino; 23. Guo; 24. Ord; 25. SAICAr; 26. SAdo. The ISs have been marked by an asterisk (*) after the number of the respective unlabeled analyte. Note that guanosine-IS has been measured in both ESI+ and ESI-. ADSL: Adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency; HGPRT: Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency; UPB1: beta-Ureidopropionase deficiency; APRT: Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency. Further abbreviations are provided in the List of Abbreviations Section.
