The specimens were evaluated using GC-MS.<\/jats:p><jats:p>We diagnosed 303 cases of IEM by urine GC-MS analysis, including 197 cases with amino acid disorders, 86 cases with organic acidurias (OAs), 10 cases with fatty acid oxidative (FAO) disorders, and 10 cases with peroxisomal disorders. Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) was the most common (153 cases), followed by methylmalonic aciduria (48 cases), urea cycle disorders (21 cases), phenylketonuria (20 cases), propionic aciduria (11 cases), X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (10 cases), multiple carboxylase deficiency (8 cases), glutaric aciduria type I (7 cases), isovaleric aciduria (6 cases), glutaric aciduria type II (4 cases), short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (4 cases), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria (3 cases), maple syrup urine disease (2 cases), very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (1 case), malonic aciduria (1 case), mevalonic aciduria (1 case), Canavan disease (1 case), lysine protein intolerance (1 case), and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (1 case). The clinical and laboratory features of IEM are neurologic signs, jaundice, metabolic acidosis, ketotic hypoglycemia, and hyperammonemia.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In our study, GC-MS provided a diagnostic clue to OAs, amino acid disorders, FAO, and peroxisomal disorders. Urease pretreatment is useful for the diagnosis of NICCD. In southern China, the majority of IEM were amino acid disorders and organic acid disorders. FAO disorders were relatively rare, which we need to investigate further.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpem-2014-0164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,27]],"date-time":"2014-10-27T17:02:29Z","timestamp":1414429349000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Detection of inborn errors of metabolism using GC-MS: over 3 years of experience in southern China"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"MinYan","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"HuiFen","family":"Mei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"XiuZhen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"YanNa","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref141","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1020","DOI":"10.1177\/7010.2006.00231","article-title":"Clinical and biochemical studies on Chinese patients with methylmalonic aciduria","volume":"21","author":"Yang","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Child Neurol"},{"key":"ref81","first-page":"27","article-title":"Clinical onset and prognosis of Asian children with organic acidemias as detected by analysis of urinary organic acids using GC MS instead of mass screening","author":"Hori","year":"2005","journal-title":"Brain"},{"key":"ref311","first-page":"153","article-title":"Long -
