Abstract
⺠VLCAD deficiency (VLCADD) is now diagnosed in the US through newborn screening. ⺠Numerous NBS variant patterns can represent mild disease or heterozygous carriers. ⺠13 patient samples suspected of VLCADD were retrospectively investigated. ⺠Prokaryotic expression studies were performed for nine missense ACADVL mutations. ⺠Functional investigation of equivocal NBS or clinical testing is crucial to diagnose disease.
