Pyrimidines may be synthesized de novo or recycled by a salvage pathway from normal catabolism. The catabolism of pyrimidines produces citric acid cycle intermediates. There are several disorders of pyrimidine metabolism (see the table).

Дефіцит уридинмонофосфатсинтази (спадкова оротова ацидурія)

Uridine monophosphate is the enzyme that catalyzes orotate phosphoribosyltransferase and orotidine-5-monophosphate decarboxylase reactions. With deficiency, orotic acid accumulates, causing clinical manifestations of megaloblastic anemia, orotic crystalluria and nephropathy, cardiac malformations, strabismus, and recurrent infections.

Diagnosis of uridine monophosphate synthase deficiency is by DNA analysis and/or enzyme assay in a variety of tissues. (See also testing for suspected inherited disorders of metabolism.)

Treatment of uridine monophosphate synthase deficiency is with oral uridine supplementation.
