Abstract
⺠Four times more newborns with MCADD are detected by screening than expected. ⺠Mutation spectrum in the newborns is different from that in patients. ⺠There is a reduced penetrance of the c.985A>G mutation. ⺠Frequency of c.985A>G homozygotes is twice that predicted from the carrier frequency. ⺠Rapid genotyping of initial blood spot is important for diagnosis and counseling.
