Utility of measuring very long-chain fatty-acyl carnitines in dried blood spots for newborn screening of X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy.
2021
Abstract We measured C24:0 and C26:0-carnitines in dried blood spots by flow injection analysis-tandem mass spectrometry method to evaluate whether they can be used as markers for newborn screening of X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). We found that C26:0-carnitine was 95.1% and 44.7% sensitive for identifying male X-ALD cases and heterozygous females, respectively. False negatives were found for C24:0-carnitine (11/82) and C26:0-carnitine (4/82). We conclude that C24:0 and C26:0-carnitines may not be reliable markers for X-ALD screening.
