LOINC description : The analysis of pterins, including neopterin, biopterin, xanthopterin, tetrahydropterin,
7,8-dihydrobiopterin and pterin, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This panel is performed
to diagnose pediatric neurotransmitter diseases caused by defects in the pterin biosynthetic
pathway, including inborn errors of sepiapterin reductase (SR), 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin
synthase (PTPS), dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR), and guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase
(GTPCH).[PMID: 25213568];
