OAT/MAP Tests<br />

• Elevated hippuric<br />

• Decreased fumarate<br />

• Elevated phenyl lactate, phenyl acetate, phenylethylamine<br />

• Decreased oxaloacetate or decreased oxalates. (Secondary to decreased<br />

oxalate you can find elevated hydroxymethylglutarate and elevated hydroxybutyrate.<br />

Elevated ammonia requires more urea cycle function,<br />

depleting oxaloacetate from the Krebs cycle. Imbalances in oxaloacetate<br />

can lead to an increase in the level of hydroxybutyrate.)<br />

• Low CO2<br />

• Low creatinine<br />

Indications that you have addressed the CBS upregulation<br />

UAA Test<br />

• Decreased ammonia<br />

• Increased creatinine<br />

• Decreased taurine<br />

• Increased sarcosine<br />

• Secondary to increased oxalates:<br />

• Increased beta alanine<br />

• Increased beta amino isobutyrate<br />

• Increased carnosine<br />

• Increased anserine<br />

In addition to these tests, you can use sulfite and sulfate test strips on a weekly<br />

basis to test the conversion of sulfites to sulfates.<br />

Mineral Balance for CBS<br />

As mentioned earlier, CBS C699T and A360A mutations can deplete molybdenum<br />

levels, since molybdenum helps to detoxify sulfur, which tends to accumulate<br />

with this mutation. Decreased molybdenum will contribute to imbalance in<br />
