Metabolic disease too easily missed

Dutch researcher Terry Derks has demonstrated that the metabolic disease MCAD deficiency can be detected at an early stage. At present the disease is only found in half of the expected number of patients. With the help of a new screening method, all newborns can now be screened.

8. New insight into childhood metabolic disease
   10-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Glutaric acidemia type I is an inherited disorder similar to Huntington disease. In most, but not all, affected children, a period of normal development is followed by an irreversible brain injury triggered by a nonspecific illness. New research using a mouse model of GA-I has provided insight into the mechanisms underlying injury and age-dependent susceptibility to the disease and suggested a way to monitor children with the disease.
