Biogenic amine neurotransmitters metabolism is a multistep pathway with pterin and pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6) as cofactors. A defect in biogenic amine and cofactor metabolism and vesicular transporters result in a primary neurotransmitter disorders. These are a well-recognized groups of inherited disorders and often present with features overlapping with other neurological conditions. Their diagnosis is made by analysis of biogenic amine metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other body fluids and respective enzyme assays. Many of these disorders are treatable and deficits can be reverted by timely intervention. CSF biogenic amine or cofactor metabolite analysis is one of the primary indicators of a neurotransmitter disorder. In this paper, 3 cases are reported—2 of cofactor deficiency and 1 with enzyme deficiency wherein biogenic amine estimation has assisted in diagnosis.
