Extractions: Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders (FOD) are a class of inborn errors of metabolism where there is an enzyme defect in the fatty acid metabolic pathway (use of dietary and stored fat). Clinical symptoms of FOD disorders include hypotonia, lethargy, and vomiting; the hypoglycemia can lead to coma, encephalopathy, hepatic failure, or death.
Extractions: WSLH Newborn Newsletters Newborn Screening Home ... Advisory Committee Wisconsin Newborn Screening Laboratory This newsletter is to announce that on April 3rd, 2000 , the newborn screening laboratory will begin reporting results for 14 Fatty Acid Oxidation and Organic Acidemia disorders. This will bring the number of disorders screened for in Wisconsin to 21. Topics included in this newsletter are: a brief description of Fatty Acid Oxidation and Organic Acidemia disorders, how this group of disorders meet the Wisconsin criteria for screening, the technology used to detect these disorders, and the reporting scheme. Fatty Acid Oxidation and Organic Acidemia Disorders Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders (FOD) are a class of inborn errors of matabolism where there is an enzyme defect in the fatty acid metabolic pathway which inhibits the body's ability to utilize stored fat. Clinical symptoms of FOD inclue hypotonia, lethargy, and vomiting; the hypoglycemia can lead to coma, encephalopathy, hepatic failure, or death. The following table lists those FOD that will be detected and reported.

Extractions: ). Sudden, unexplained deaths also occur among children aged 1 year; however, the number of these deaths is not well documented. Certain cases of SIDS and sudden unexplained death beyond infancy might be attributable to complications of unrecognized metabolic diseases ( ). Tandem mass spectrometry (tandem MS) can be used to screen for several of these disorders ( ). Despite the low prevalence of these diseases ( ), newborn screening for these disorders has been found to compare favorably with the cost of other screening programs ( ). However, the contribution of these diseases to early childhood deaths is not well understood. To determine the proportion of sudden, unexpected early childhood deaths associated with selected metabolic diseases, CDC, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (ME) in Virginia, and a private laboratory conducted a population-based study. This report summarizes the results of the study, which indicate that 1% of children had a positive postmortem metabolic screen using tandem MS. Of the eight children with positive screening tests, seven might have had improved outcomes had they been identified and treated during the newborn period. The use of tandem MS in newborn screening programs could offer an opportunity to prevent early childhood mortality. The Virginia ME's records, including available autopsy reports, were reviewed for children who died before age 3 years during 19962001. In Virginia, the deaths of all children who die before age 18 months and whose death is attributed to SIDS, who die suddenly when in apparent good health, or who die when not under the care of a physician must be examined by the ME (

Jamerson Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a relatively rare but potentially fatal liver disorder of late pregnancy. Recent advances in molecular diagnostic procedures provide evidence of a genetic basis for this condition and a link to offspring disorders in fatty acid oxidation. This relationship implies the need for genetic testing and follow-up of at-risk women and their neonates. Keywords:
