Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people with certain metabolic disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers. Participants will visit the clinic once a year for exams and various tests to help researchers learn about these disorders.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I am at least one month old
  • I have been diagnosed with a pyrimidine or purine metabolism disorder
  • I am a family member of someone with a DPPM
  • I am a healthy volunteer without DPPMs

You may not be able to join if

  • I have a chronic condition that could interfere with the study
  • I am pregnant
  • I do not have a routine clinical care team outside of NIH
  • I cannot provide informed consent due to intellectual disability

Summarized in plain language from this trial's official eligibility criteria. The full criteria are further down this page — only the research team can confirm whether you qualify.

About This Trial
Background: Pyrimidine and purine metabolism disorders (DPPMs) affect how the body metabolizes chemicals called pyrimidines and purines. DPPMs can cause dysfunctions throughout the body, especially in the brain, blood, kidneys, and immune system. People with DPPMs might have no symptoms, mild symptoms, or they may have severe, chronic symptoms, that can be fatal. DPPMs are not well understood, an…
