Whole Genome Sequencing from Dried Blood Spots for Newborn Screening of Menkes Disease and 36 Other Actionable Inherited Neurometabolic Disorders
2024-12-04
Abstract excerpt
Tandem mass spectrometry is currently used by the Ohio Department of Health to screen newborn infants for 36 medically actionable inborn errors of metabolism. As a complementary test for infants with abnormal biochemical screens, whole genome sequencing (WGS) could reduce false-positive results, facilitate timely case resolution and, in some instances, indicate a more specific diagnosis than obtained initially.
