family member. It is also useful for determining whether at-risk individuals are carriers of the disease and,
subsequently, at risk for having a child with glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency.
Useful For: Diagnostic confirmation of glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency when familial
mutations have been previously identified Carrier screening of individuals with a family history of
glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency when mutation(s) in the FTCD gene have been identified in a
family member Prenatal testing when 2 familial mutations have previously been identified in an affected
family member
