Abstract excerpt
The fatty acid oxidation disorder most commonly identified by tandem mass spectrometry newborn screening is the potentially fatal medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCAD). In clinically presenting cases, 80% are homozygous for the common mutation, c.985A > G and 18% heterozygous. We screened 592,785 babies and identified 34 with MCAD, 17 homozygous for c.985A > G, 14 with one copy, and 3 with no...
