Spectrum analysis of inborn errors of metabolism for expanded newborn screening in a northwestern Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Expanded newborn screening facilitates early identification and intervention of patients with inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs), There is a lack of disease spectrum data for many areas in China. To determine the disease spectrum and genetic characteristics of IEMs in Xi'an city of Shaanxi province in northwest China, 146152 newborns were screening by MSMS from January 2014 to December 2019 and 61 patients were referred to genetic analysis by next generation sequencing (NGS) and validated by Sanger sequencing. Seventy-five newborns and two mothers were diagnosed with IEMs, with an overall incidence of 1:1898 (1:1949 without mothers). There were 35 newborns with amino acidemias (45.45%, 1:4176), 28 newborns with organic acidurias (36.36%, 1:5220), and 12 newborns and two mothers with FAO disorders (18.18%; 1:10439 or 1:12179 without mothers). Phenylketonuria and methylmalonic acidemia were the two most common disorders, accounting for 65.33% (49/75) of all confirmed newborn. Some hotspot mutations were observed for several IEMs, including PAH gene c.728G>A for phenylketonuria; MMACHC gene c.609G>A and c.567dupT, MMUT gene c.323G>A for methylmalonic acidemia and SLC25A13 gene c.852_855del for citrin deficiency. Our study provides effective clinical guidance for the popularization and application of expanded newborn screening, genetic screening, and genetic counseling of IEMs in this region.

Project description:Expanded newborn screening for inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) could simultaneously analyze more than 40 metabolites and identify about 50 kinds of IEMs. Next generation sequencing (NGS) targeting hundreds of IMEs-associated genes as a follow-up test in expanded newborn screening has been used for genetic analysis of patients. The spectrum, prevalence, and genetic characteristic of IEMs vary dramatically in different populations. To determine the spectrum, prevalence, and gene mutations of IEMs in newborns in Suzhou, China, 401,660 newborns were screened by MS/MS and 138 patients were referred to genetic analysis by NGS. The spectrum of 22 IEMs were observed in Suzhou population of newborns, and the overall incidence (excluding short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (SCADD) and 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (3-MCCD)) was 1/3,163. The prevalence of each IEM ranged from 1/401,660 to 1/19,128, while phenylketonuria (PKU) (1/19,128) and Mild hyperphenylalaninemia (M-HPA) (1/19,128) were the most common IEMs, followed by primary carnitine uptake defect (PCUD) (1/26,777), SCADD (1/28,690), hypermethioninemia (H-MET) (1/30,893), 3-MCCD (1/33,412) and methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) (1/40,166). Moreover, 89 reported mutations and 51 novel mutations in 25 IMEs-associated genes were detected in 138 patients with one of 22 IEMs. Some hotspot mutations were observed for ten IEMs, including PAH gene c.728G > A, c.611A > G, and c.721C > T for Phenylketonuria, PAH gene c.158G > A, c.1238G > C, c.728G > A, and c.1315+6T > A for M-HPA, SLC22A5 gene c.1400C > G, c.51C > G, and c.760C > T for PCUD, ACADS gene c.1031A > G, c.164C > T, and c.1130C > T for SCAD deficiency, MAT1A gene c.791G > A for H-MET, MCCC1 gene c.639+2T > A and c.863A > G for 3-MCCD, MMUT gene c.1663G > A for MMA, SLC25A13 gene c.IVS16ins3Kb and c.852_855delTATG for cittrullinemia II, PTS gene c.259C > T and c.166G > A for Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency, and ACAD8 gene c.1000C > T and c.286C > A for Isobutyryl coa dehydrogenase deficiency. All these hotspot mutations were reported to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic, except a novel mutation of ACAD8 gene c.286C > A. These mutational hotspots could be potential candidates for gene screening and these novel mutations expanded the mutational spectrum of IEMs. Therefore, our findings could be of value for genetic counseling and genetic diagnosis of IEMs.
