Continuous reference intervals for holotranscobalamin, homocysteine and folate in a healthy paediatric cohort.
Background: The detection of deficiencies in B12 and folate children is important. However, despite the availability of various markers to assess B12 and folate metabolism, there are limited studies describing the reference intervals (RIs) and changes during growth and development for these markers in healthy children.
Methods: Using samples collected from 378 children aged 30 days-< 18 years, we derived continuous RIs for holotranscobalamin, homocysteine and red cell folate.
Results: The lower RI for holotranscobalamin was lowest at birth, rising during early childhood and then declining following ages 4-6 years whereas red cell folate was highest early in life and then declined steadily towards adulthood. Total homocysteine, reflective of both B12 and folate status was elevated early in life, reaching a nadir at age 2 and then increasing towards adulthood.
Conclusions: Continuous central 95th percentile RI for holotranscobalamin, homocysteine and red cell folate for children ages 30 days to <18 years were established. Each marker shows dynamic changes throughout childhood and adolescence which will assist clinicians in more appropriately assessing B12 and folate status in this population.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry is the fully peer reviewed international journal of the Association for Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine.
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry accepts papers that contribute to knowledge in all fields of laboratory medicine, especially those pertaining to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human disease. It publishes papers on clinical biochemistry, clinical audit, metabolic medicine, immunology, genetics, biotechnology, haematology, microbiology, computing and management where they have both biochemical and clinical relevance. Papers describing evaluation or implementation of commercial reagent kits or the performance of new analysers require substantial original information. Unless of exceptional interest and novelty, studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not generally considered within the journal''s scope. Studies documenting the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with particular phenotypes will not normally be considered, given the greater strength of genome wide association studies (GWAS). Research undertaken in non-human animals will not be considered for publication in the Annals.
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry is also the official journal of NVKC (de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Klinische Chemie) and JSCC (Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry).
