Description | Metabolomics has become an importatnt tool research and diagnosis of human diseases. In this work we focused on the diagnosis of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDS) in plama samlpes using a targed metabolomics approach. The plasma samples were analysed with the flow injections analysis method. All experiments were performed on a QTRAP 5500 tandem mass spectometer (AB SCIEX, USA)with electorospray ionization. This study has revealed that targed metabolomic tools with automated and unsupervised processing can be applied for the diagnosis of various IMDs. |
