Description

Guanine [PubChem: Guanine] is a purine, a group of molecules used by all cells of the body for many essential biochemical processes including enzymatic reactions, cofactor-requiring reactions, synthesis of DNA or RNA, and signaling transduction and translation. PMID: 23622405 Disorders of purine metabolism occur at any age and involve various organ systems. Diagnosis of purine (and pyrimidine) metabolism disorders is based upon the clinical presentation and evaluation of purine and pyrimidine metabolite concentration patterns. Confirmatory enzyme assays and/or molecular genetic testing are peformed to confirm a diagnosis. Several types of disorders of purine metabolism include adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL) deficiency, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency, myoadenylate deaminase (mAMPD) deficiency and Adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADD).
