Rapid and quantitative analysis of unconjugated C27 bile acids in plasma and blood samples by tandem mass spectrometry

A subgroup of peroxisomal disorders, peroxisome biogenesis defects (PBD), can be differentiated by elevated levels of C27 bile acids in plasma and bile. Patients with peroxisomal disorders, who lack the ability to chain-shorten the C27 bile acid intermediates into C24 bile acids, show elevated level...
