Abstract
Background: Newborn screening (NBS) for isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is implemented via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), but false-positive results are still common. In addition, NBS for IVA is limited by a lack of suitable biomarkers, especially after the use of pivaloylester-containing antibiotics.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to explore the clinical correlation between antibiotic administration and false-positive results for isovalerylcarnitine (C5).
Results: A total of 509,313 newborns were recruited from the initial NBS study, only one of whom underwent genetic confirmation, conducted between 2015 and 2020. Significant associations between false-positive C5-carnitine screening results and treatment with pivalate-generating antibiotics were identified with retrospective analysis.
Conclusions: The current results highlight the detrimental effects of false-positive C5-carnitine screening results. Unless the licensing of pivalate-generating antibiotics for use during the neonatal period is reconsidered, a second-tier test for C5 determination will be necessary.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of quality research related to the dynamically developing areas of human, molecular and medical genetics. The journal publishes original research articles covering findings in phenotypic, molecular, biological, and genomic aspects of genomic variation, inherited disorders and birth defects. The broad publishing spectrum of Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine includes rare and common disorders from diagnosis to treatment. Examples of appropriate articles include reports of novel disease genes, functional studies of genetic variants, in-depth genotype-phenotype studies, genomic analysis of inherited disorders, molecular diagnostic methods, medical bioinformatics, ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI), and approaches to clinical diagnosis. Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine provides a scientific home for next generation sequencing studies of rare and common disorders, which will make research in this fascinating area easily and rapidly accessible to the scientific community. This will serve as the basis for translating next generation sequencing studies into individualized diagnostics and therapeutics, for day-to-day medical care.
Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine publishes original research articles, reviews, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented.
