Lysophosphatidylcholine(26:0) [Moles/volume] in DBS by LC/MS/MS

Definition

Lysophosphatidylcholine (26:0), or C26:0 LPC, levels are measured by a confirmatory method (e.g. HPLC-MS/MS) in dried blood spot specimens to help confirm the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) diagnosis. [NCBI Books: NBK1315]
