The enzyme converts adenosine into inosine. Our protocol measures the conversion of 14C-adenosine into inosine. The substrates and products of the reaction are separated by thin layer chromatography and quantified with liquid scintillation counting. Turn around time is 3-5 days.
Prenatal diagnosis is possible using amniotic fluid cells or chorionic villus cells.
Prior contact with the laboratory is required before submitting any samples for prenatal diagnosis. Turn around time is dependent on cell growth but is usually 1-2 weeks.
