Expanded newborn screening for IEMs by tandem mass spectrometry (TMS) is an efficient approach for early diagnosis.

Organic acidemia (OA) was the most common (9\/16 patients; 56%), and methylmalonic acidemia was the most frequently observed OA (7\/9 patients; 89%). Five infants were diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia with homocystinuria type CblC, two with isolated methylmalonic acidemia, one with propionic acidemia, and one with isovaleric acidemia. Four patients (4\/16, 25%) were diagnosed with hyperphenylalaninemia. One suffered with medium-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, one with carnitine uptake deficiency, and one with citrin deficiency. Eleven cases underwent genetic analysis. Seventeen mutations in eight IEM-associated genes were identified in 11 confirmed cases. Symptoms were already present within 2 days after birth in 44% (7\/16) cases. The infant with propionic acidemia died at 7 days after birth. The other cases received timely diagnosis and treatment, and most of them grew well.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"j_jpem-2019-0420_s_996_w2aab3b7c16b1b6b1aab1c16b4Aa\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results illustrate challenges encountered in disease management highlighting the importance of newborn screening for inherited metabolic disorders, which is not yet nationally available in our country.
