Background summary
Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation. In The Netherlands, VLCADD was included in the newborn screening (NBS) panel since 2007. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of NBS on clinical outcome in VLCADD. Therefore, comparison will take place of genetic, biochemical, and clinical characteristics of all VLCADD patients diagnosed before NBS and by NBS that are registered in the Dutch Database Registry of Metabolic Diseases (DDRMD). Simultaneously prospective clinical evaluation of these patients will be performed by a standardized protocol in the Dutch Expertise Center for Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders.
Study objective
With the introduction of very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD) in newborn screening (NBS) programs, the number of diagnosed patients has rapidly increased. Most infants are asymptomatic at time of diagnosis and remain so. The lingering question is whether this is an effect of prompt diagnosis or of diagnosing asymptomatic individuals.
