Uracil
Explanation: Uracil is a building block of RNA, which helps the body make proteins, needed for growth, repair, and other essential functions.
Test purpose: Testing its levels helps identify metabolic conditions and rare genetic conditions, like dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency (where the body cannot properly break down uracil and thymine) and orotic aciduria, a rare genetic disorder where uracil and orotic acid accumulate.
