Ninety percent of the infants identified by NBS were still asymptomatic, whereas the non-NBS cohort presented at median 4 month of age with muscular hypotonia (68%), anemia (58%), developmental delay (44%), microcephalia (30%), and seizures (12%). Noteworthy, symptomatically diagnosed VitB12D in the first year of life was reported 4 times more frequently in infants who did not receive NBS for neonatal VitB12D (14 in 584\u2009800) compared with those screened for VitB12D as newborns (4 in 688\u2009200; Fisher's Exact Test, odds ratio 4.12 [95% confidence interval: 1.29\u201317.18], P = .008). The estimated overall cumulative incidence was 1:9600 newborns per year for neonatal VitB12D and 1:17\u2009500 for symptomatic infantile VitB12D.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
