Extractions: Home What's New Browse Handbook ... Search Propionic acidemia On this page: Propionic acidemia is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain proteins and lipids (fats) properly. The condition, which usually appears in early infancy, is characterized by poor feeding, vomiting, weak muscle tone (hypotonia), and lethargy. The effects of propionic acidemia can be life-threatening. Propionic acidemia occurs in about 1 in 100,000 live births in the United States. The condition appears to be more common in several populations worldwide, including the Inuit population of Greenland and Saudi Arabians. What genes are related to propionic acidemia?

Extractions: An Organic Acid Disorder Save Babies Through Screening Foundation is comprised of volunteers. Some have children who were helped by newborn screening, and some have children who have died, or suffered brain damage. For many of the Foundation's volunteers, joy comes from knowing that your child was saved. Many hours of hard work have been done to help children, maybe even yours. Please let us hear from you. The gene defect for PA is an autosomal recessive genetic trait and is unknowingly passed down from generation to generation. This faulty gene only emerges when two carriers have children together and pass it to their offspring. For each pregnancy of two such carriers, there is a 25% chance that the child will be born with the disease and a 50% chance the child will be a carrier for the gene defect.

Jordan - Propionic Acidemia I had propionic acidemia, an inborn error of metabolism. My parents ran straight to the nearest computer to surf the net. Luckily, they found OAA (Organic http://www.savebabies.org/familystories/JordanPA.php
Extractions: This is a personal story shared by a family whose child has Propionic Acidemia (PA). My name is Jordan Franks. I was born in Evanston, Illinois on January 28, 2000. I could see the pride and love in my parents' eyes as they beheld what they believed was their perfect little creation - all 8 lbs. 14 oz. of me. Unbeknownst to them, and the doctors and nurses, who attended to me, I was afflicted with a rare genetic disease. No one understood the signs - vomiting after birth, disinterest in nursing, rapid breathing, and sniffly nose. I thought my symptoms were loud and clear, but after two chest x-rays and the decision that it was birth trauma, I was sent home. My parents were told to bring me to the pediatrician in a couple of days to check my rapid breathing. My mom tried feeding me and I just wasn't interested and acted like I didn't like the taste. How could she possibly know that the protein in the milk was poisoning me, causing elevated ammonia levels in my blood and acidosis? The next morning I was lethargic and wouldn't startle. My mom immediately took me to the pediatrician. My temperature was 93.6 degrees and I was dehydrated. I was down to 7 pounds 12 ounces and my doctor contacted our local hospital to inform them that we were on our way. After numerous labs and being hooked up to IV fluids, my parents were told I probably had a metabolic disorder. A what? The doctors were able to get my acidosis under control; however, my ammonia levels went from 500 to 1050 and I was transported to Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago for hemodialysis.

FAQ - Propionic Acidemia Foundation Early detection and treatment of propionic acidemia can potentially If your state does not screen for propionic acidemia, you can have your child tested http://www.pafoundation.com/faq.htm
Extractions: HOME RESEARCH FAMILY STORIES FAQ ... CHAT FAQ What are the symptoms of PA? Symptoms will present themselves within days of birth (acute onset) or later in childhood (late onset) depending on the severity of the disorder. Symptoms may include: refusal to eat, poor sucking ability, vomiting, dehydration, lethargy (excessively tired or sluggish), acidosis (excess acid in the blood), and hyperammonemia (excess ammonia in the blood) If not treated, mental impairment, coma and death can follow. How is PA diagnosed? Some states provide comprehensive newborn screening (CNBS) for Propionic Acidemia. Potential late onset cases can be identified using this type of testing. Such cases are verified through additional blood and urine tests. Diagnosis of acute onset cases is typically made in the intensive care unit when newborns go into a metabolic crisis within the first few days of life.
