Abstract excerpt
Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is the most common defect of mitochondrial β-oxidation. Confirmation diagnostics after newborn screening (NBS) can be performed either by enzyme testing and/or by sequencing of the ACADM gene. Here, we report the results from enzyme testing in lymphocytes with gene variants from molecular analysis of the ACADM gene and with the initial acylcarnitine...
