Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the current study was to screen newborns in Greece and to identify the responsible mutations for Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCADD). DESIGN AND METHODS: 47.812 neonates were screened for the potential presence of MCADD in Greece, via a LC-MS/MS protocol. The "suspected" samples were subjected to genetic testing via PCR-RFLP and sequencing of the coding region of the...
