Abstract
A three-tier algorithm for GAMT newborn screening showed excellent test performance with zero false positives. No cases were detected, supporting a low incidence for this disorder. Given the low incremental costs and evidence of positive outcomes with early intervention, GAMT deficiency remains an excellent candidate for newborn screening.
