RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the disease spectrum and pathogenic genes of inherited metabolic disorder (IMD) among neonates in Gansu Province of China.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was conducted on the tandem mass spectrometry data of 286 682 neonates who received IMD screening in Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021. A genetic analysis was conducted on the neonates with positive results in tandem mass spectrometry during primary screening and reexamination.@*RESULTS@#A total of 23 types of IMD caused by 28 pathogenic genes were found in the 286 682 neonates, and the overall prevalence rate of IMD was 0.63 (1/1 593), among which phenylketonuria showed the highest prevalence rate of 0.32 (1/3 083), followed by methylmalonic acidemia (0.11, 1/8 959) and tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency (0.06, 1/15 927). In this study, 166 variants were identified in the 28 pathogenic genes, with 13 novel variants found in 9 genes. According to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines, 5 novel variants were classified as pathogenic variants, 7 were classified as likely pathogenic variants, and 1 was classified as the variant of uncertain significance.@*CONCLUSIONS@#This study enriches the database of pathogenic gene variants for IMD and provides basic data for establishing an accurate screening and diagnosis system for IMD in this region.

Objective To establish the medical reference range of amino acid and acyl car-nitine tandem mass spectrometry in normal neonates in Gansu province,and provide the basis for the determination of amino acid and acyl carnitine test results in the screening of neonatal genetic metabolic diseases.Methods A non derivatization tandem mass spectro-metry kit was used to screen 77 957 samples of neonates in Gansu province.Statistical soft ware SPSS19.0 was used to analyze the 95% reference range of 11 amino acids and 31 kinds of acylcarnitine indexes.Results The medical reference value(μmol/L) of the series mass spectra of newborn genetic metabolic diseases in Gansu province was established:ALA (216.17 ~ 727.58),ARG (1.80~33.03),CIT (4.87~30.67),GLY (183.43~841.46),LEU (79.85~289.45),MET (3.32~25.86),ORN (34.09~225.15),PHE (27.04~83.37),PRO (79.44~337.59),TYR (37.61~177.79),VAL (59.31~250.95),C0 (9.35~45.35),C2 (2.62~25.40),C3 (0.46~3.3),C3DC_C4OH (0.02~0.20),C4 (0.08~0.31),C4DC_C5OH (0.10~0.32),C5 (0.05~0.30),C5:1 (0.00~0.01),C5DC_C6OH (0.04~0.22),C6 (0.01~0.06),C6DC (0.03~0.13),C8 (0.02~0.08),C8:1 (0.05~0.31),C10 (0.02~0.12),C10:1 (0.03~0.10),C10:2 (0.01~0.10),C12 (0.02~0.13),C12:1 (0.02~0.10),C14 (0.07~0.30),C14:1 (0.03~0.13),C14:2 (0.01~0.03),C14OH (0.00~0.02),C16 (0.59~4.91),C16:1 (0.03~0.30),C16:1-OH (0.01~0.08),C16OH (0.01~0.03),C18 (0.29~1.30),C18:1 (0.57~2.32),C18:1-OH (0.01~0.05),C18:2 (0.08~0.51) and C18OH (0.00~0.02).Conclusion The establishment of the medical reference range of the normal neonatal dryblood spot amino acid and acyl carnitine tandem mass spectrometry in Gansu province can provide reference for the determination of the results of the cluster mass spectrometry in this region.
