A sample of MRM chromatograms of purine metabolites is shown in Fig. 1. Normal reference ranges are listed in Table 2 and diagnostic markers for pyrimidine deficiencies in Table 3.
Fig. 1
LCMS chromatograms of pyrimidine metabolites. From the top, thymidine , dihydrothymine , thymine , dihydrouracil , and uracil . Note that thymine elutes at 5.52 min. A contamination with the same 127 > 110.2 MRM is eluted later at 8.99 min
