What is Newborn Screening?
A mandatory public
health program designed
“to detect, in newborns,
congenital disorders
leading to
developmental
impairments or physical
disabilities”
Why is it Important?
It prevents death and
disability to affected
infants by providing
early treatment
It benefits the public
through savings in
health care costs and
institutional care
Two 6 year old girls with
congenital hypothyroidism
WA’s Criteria for Screening
Early identification benefits the
newborn
Treatment is available
Nature of the condition justifies
population-based screening
A good screening test exists
The benefits justify the costs of
screening
A Complete System Includes
Universal screening - all infants
“Appropriate” follow-up response
Diagnosis of affected infants
Appropriate treatment & clinical care
Evaluation of system effectiveness

When to Screen
Washington State law requires that every
newborn be tested “prior to discharge from
the hospital or within five days of age”
1st screen should be taken between 18 & 48
hours of life regardless of feeding status
(earlier if therapies are administered)
2nd screen strongly recommended between
7 & 14 days of age
Third screen recommended for sick and
premature infants at 1 month
Benefits of Repeat Screens
• Maximizes detection of all disorders,
particularly milder forms that may
benefit from treatment
• May be necessary for detection of
some conditions, and is critical for
assessment of cystic fibrosis
• Verifies hemoglobin traits, eliminating
need for diagnostic lab work
Screening Compliance
Some statistics …
>99.95% of “eligible” infants
receive screening (excludes
refusals & neonatal deaths)
~94% of infants receive the
recommended 2nd screen
~75% of sick & premature
receive the recommended
3rd screen
Newborn Screening in WA
~85,000 newborns are screened each year
~170,000 specimens processed
~5,500 results requiring follow-up
~2,100 false positives
170 - 200 true positives
2011 = 188 affected infants
prevalence: 1 in 452!
Father of Newborn Screening
“Robert Guthrie, MD, Ph.D. was
an American microbiologist,
best known for developing the
bacterial inhibition assay used
to screen infants for
phenylketonuria at birth, before
the development of irreversible
neurological damage.”

Follow-up Responses
for abnormal C3 results …
a - if first screen, wait for routine second; if second screen and
previous normal, call health care provider and recommend third
screen; if second screen and previous abnormal, call health care
provider and recommend immediate diagnostic work-up
b - call health care provider and recommend collecting subsequent
screen ASAP
c - call health care provider and recommend immediate diagnostic
work-up
d - call health care provider to request second screen ASAP
High Urgency !!
• CAH
• Galactosemia
• MSUD
Diagnosis and treatment
should be initiated ASAP!
Moderate Urgency!
• Congenital Hypothyroidism
• MCAD deficiency
• PKU
Treatment recommended
by 1 - 3 weeks of age
No Medical Urgency
.. can wait over a weekend to notify
• Cystic Fibrosis
• Sickle Cell Disease
Treatment recommended
by 2 to 4 weeks of age
Special Issues
for adrenal (CAH) results …
• low birthweight &
sick babies
• steroids
• different forms of the disorder
- severe (salt-wasting)
- non-life threatening (simple virilizing)
- other forms

3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase
deficiency (3MCC)
• Without treatment many people have no clinical
symptoms.
• Treatment prevents and corrects all problems in
symptomatic patients.
• Screening test is very good at detecting affected infants,
but not totally specific. Also detects asymptomatic mothers.
• Not evident at birth – a sudden metabolic crisis can bring
on severe illness (but in a very small percentage of
patients).
Amino Acid Disorders
• Amino acids not used to
make proteins are
recycled by their specific
metabolic pathways.
– Enzymatic deficiencies in
these pathways lead to
various clinical phenotypes.
• Diagnosed by plasma
amino acids, urine amino
acids, and/or urine
organic acids
• PKU: severe, permanent ID
• MSUD: ID, hallucinations,
ataxia
• HCY: connective tissue
damage (joints, heart), ID,
psychiatric disturbances
• CIT: risk of hyperammonemia
 ID, coma, death
• ASA: brittle hair, liver disease
ID
• TYR I: acute or chronic liver
disease, liver cancer,
neurologic pain crises

Organic Acid Disorders
• Organic acids are
breakdown products of
protein and fatty acid
metabolism. Defects in
their breakdown lead to
(generally):
– Vomiting, metabolic
acidosis, elevated
ammonia in crises
– ID, motor delay, ataxia,
cardiac/renal/pancreatic
problems
• Diagnosed by urine
organic acids and/or
plasma acylcarnitines
• IVA: Isovaleric acidemia
• GA I: Glutaric acidemia type I
• HMG: 3-OH 3-CH3 glutaric
aciduria
• MCD: Multiple carboxylase
deficiency
• MUT: Methylmalonic acidemia
(mutase deficiency)
• 3MCC: 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA
carboxylase deficiency
• Cbl A,B: Methylmalonic

acylcarnitines, and urine
organic acids can be
helpful

acyl-CoA dehydrogenase
deficiency

Clinical Management: PKU
• Correct substrate
imbalance
• Supply product
– Restrict phenylalanine
intake to normalize
plasma concentration
– Supplement tyrosine
to maintain normal
plasma tyrosine levels
Phenylalanine ------------//---------------- Tyrosine
(substrate)
phenylalanine hydroxylase
(product)
Stabilizing Phe Levels
Equilibrium achieved by
14 days of age
Blood levels every 2 days
because of rapid growth
Management Tools
• Specialized formula
provides
–
–
–
–
80-90% energy intake
85-90% protein intake
tyrosine supplements
no phenylalanine
• Phenylalanine to meet
requirement from infant
formula or foods
Effective Phe Level Management
Blood levels once per month, or more frequently if needed for good management
Goals of PKU Management
• Normal growth rate
• Normal physical
development
• Normal cognitive
development
• Normal nutritional status
Maternal PKU Concerns/Outcomes
• Women with PKU are at high risk for delivering a
damaged infant
– Placenta concentrates phe 2-4x
• Microcephaly
• Cardiac problems
• Infant IQ directly related to maternal blood phe
level
• Outcome improved with maternal blood phe <2
mg/dl prior to conception and during pregnancy
Maternal PKU Syndrome
… and moderate to severe intellectual disability
