title: Plasma pipecolic acid is frequently elevated in non-peroxisomal disease.
abstract: We reviewed our data on patients in whom plasma pipecolic acid was analysed. Mild to moderate elevations of pipecolic acid were frequently found in non-peroxisomal disorders and this should be taken into account when interpreting the laboratory data.
