Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Clinical standard of care for newborn screening (NBS) is acylcarnitine metabolites quantitation by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) from dried blood spots. Follow up sequencing often results in identification of one or more variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase...
