Characterization of variants of uncertain significance in isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase identified through newborn screening: An approach for faster analysis.

Molecular genetics and metabolism | 2021

Clinical standard of care for newborn screening (NBS) is acylcarnitine metabolites quantitation by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) from dried blood spots. Follow up sequencing often results in identification of one or more variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVDH) in the Leu catabolism pathway. Many IVD mutations are characterized as VUS complicating IVA clinical diagnoses and treatment. We present a testing platform approach to confirm the functional implication of VUS identified in newborns with IVA applicable to multiple inborn errors of metabolism identified by NBS.
