چکیده

Seoul Clinical Laboratories began screening newborns and high risk group blood spots with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in April 2001. The goal was to determine approximate prevalence of metabolic disorders and optimization of decision criteria for estimation of preventive effect with early diagnosis. Approximately 44,300 neonates and children were screened and the estimated prevalence (newborn/high risk group), sensitivity, specificity and recall rate amounted to 1:2000 / 1:1250, 94.1 %, 99.7 %, and 0.04 %, respectively. Confirmed 35 multiple metabolic disorders (newborn/high risk) were as follows; 16 amino acid disorders [classical PKU(3/4), BH4 deficient-hyperphenylalaninemia(0/1), Citrullinemia(2/0), Homocystinuria(0/2), Hypermethioninemia(0/1), Tyrosinemia(1/0)], OTC deficiency (0/1), MSUD (2/0), 10 organic acidurias [Propionic aciduria(2/1), Methylmalonic aciduria(0/1), Isovaleric aciduria(2/1), 3-methylcrotonylglycineuria(1/0), Glutaric aciduria type 1(2/0)], 9 fatty acid oxidation disorders [LCHAD def. (2/2), Mitochondrial TFP def.(0/1), VLCAD def.(1/0), LC3KT def.(0/1), SCAD def (1/0), MADD def (0/1). The relatively normal development of 15 patients with metabolic disorders among newborns (except for the expired) demonstrates the usefulness of newborn screening by MS/MS for early diagnosis and medical intervention. However, close coordination between the MS/MS screening laboratory and the metabolic clinic/biochemical geneticists is needed to determine proper decision of screening parameters, confirmation diagnosis, follow-up scheme and additional tests.

Inherited Disorders of Intermediary Metabolism

■ Abstract This review is intended to serve as a practical guide for geneticists to current applications of tandem mass spectrometry to newborn screening. By making dried-blood spot analysis more sensitive, specific, reliable, and inclusive, tandem mass spectrometry has improved the newborn detection of inborn errors of metabolism. Its innate ability to detect and quantify multiple analytes fro...

Screening of newborns and high-risk group of children for inborn metabolic disorders using tandem mass spectrometry in South Korea: a three-year report.

BACKGROUND Mass screening using tandem mass spectrometry(MS/MS) was initiated to determine if the incidence of metabolic disorder is sufficiently high to meet the criteria for newborn screening, and whether or not early medical intervention might be beneficial to the patients. METHODS Newborns and children in a high-risk group were screened using MS/MS from April 2001 to March 2004. Blood spo...

Tandem mass spectrometric analysis for amino, organic, and fatty acid disorders in newborn dried blood spots: a two-year summary from the New England Newborn Screening Program.

BACKGROUND Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is rapidly being adopted by newborn screening programs to screen dried blood spots for >20 markers of disease in a single assay. Limited information is available for setting the marker cutoffs and for the resulting positive predictive values. METHODS We screened >160 000 newborns by MS/MS. The markers were extracted from blood spots into a methanol ...

BACKGROUND Mandatory newborn screening for metabolic disorders has not been implemented in most parts of China. Newborn mortality and morbidity could be markedly reduced by early diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Methods of screening for IEM by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) have been developed, and their advantages include rapid testing, high sensitivity, high spe...
