Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Presymptomatic identification of disorders to allow for early initiation of treatment and consequent improvement in the long-term prognosis of affected patients

 

The conditions identifiable by amino acid and acylcarnitine analysis are detected by supplemental newborn screening using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) as described here.

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

Panel includes all disorders recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics detectable by Tandem Mass Spectrometry.(MS/MS)(1)

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

See Informative Markers for Supplemental Newborn Screening at Mayo Clinic in Special Instructions.

 

The following algorithms are available in Special Instructions:

-Newborn Screening Follow-up for Elevations of C8, C6, and C10 Acylcarnitines (also applies to any plasma C8, C6, and C10 acylcarnitine elevations)

-Newborn Screening Follow-up for Isolated C4 Acylcarnitine Elevations (also applies to any plasma C4 acylcarnitine elevation)

-Newborn Screening Follow-up for Isolated C5 Acylcarnitine Elevations (also applies to any plasma C5 acylcarnitine elevation)
