Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family, member A1 (succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase) (ALDH5A1) gene, located at chromosome 6p22.2-p22.3, which is involved in the metabolism of the neurotransmitter 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Mutations at this locus have been identified in most patients with succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency and 4-hydroxybutyric aciduria.
