Mitochondrial disorders, homocysteine metabolism, ketone body utilisation disorders, purine and pyrimidine metabolism, amino acidurias, urea cycle defects, and others. The lab often responds on individual cases based on a combination of clinical and biochemical findings and works closely with the IMD biochemistry lab at Red Cross Hospital and the NHLS Histology labs at RXH and GSH.
