Abstract

The determination of acylcarnitines (AC) in dried blood spots (DBS) by tandem mass spectrometry in newborn screening (NBS) programs has enabled medium-chain acyl-coA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) to be identified in presymptomatic newborns. Nevertheless, different confirmatory tests must be performed to confirm the diagnosis. In this work, we have collected and analyzed the NBS results and confirmatory test results (plasma AC, molecular findings, and lymphocyte MCAD activity) of forty individuals, correlating them with clinical outcomes and treatment, with the aim of obtaining useful diagnostic information that could be applied in the follow-up of the patients. Our results led us to classify patients into two groups. The first group (14 cases) had high increased octanoylcarnitine (C8) levels, biallelic pathogenic variants, and severe impaired enzyme activity (<10% of the intra-assay control (IAC)); all of these cases received nutritional therapy and required carnitine supplementation during follow-up, representing the most severe form of the disease. The second group (16 patients) was a heterogeneous group presenting moderate increases in C8, biallelic likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants, and intermediate activity (<41% IAC). All of them are currently asymptomatic and could be considered as having a milder form of the disease. Finally, eight cases presented a normal-mild increase in plasma C8, with only one pathogenic variant detected, and high-intermediate residual activity (15-100%). Based on our results, we confirm that combined evaluation of acylcarnitine profiles, genetic findings, and residual enzyme activities proves useful in predicting the risk of future metabolic decompensation, in making decisions regarding future treatment or follow-up, and also in confirming the clinical effects of unknown clinical variants.
