However to achieve this, the measurement of lipids should be further improved by enabling comprehensive coverage, accurate identification and quantitation. Therefore, in this thesis, new analytical methodologies using LC-MS for the accurate detection and quantitation of lipids are developed. These methods are then applied to MCADD samples to identify lipid biomarkers, which are further correlated with gene expression analysis to understand the underlying biochemical pathways.
