Abstract. 1  Newborn screening is important for the early detection of many congenital genetic and metabolic disorders, aimed at the earliest possible recognition and management of affected newborns, to prevent the morbidity, mortality, and disabilities associated with an inherited metabolic disorder.

You must have at least three metabolic risk factors to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. A large waistline. This also is called abdominal obesity or having an apple shape.. Excess fat in the stomach area is a greater risk factor for heart disease than excess fat in other parts of the body, such as on the hips.

Metabolic syndrome is becoming more common due to a rise in obesity rates among adults. In the future, metabolic syndrome may overtake smoking as the leading risk factor for heart disease. It is possible to prevent or delay metabolic syndrome, mainly with lifestyle changes. A healthy lifestyle is a lifelong commitment.

Although a few cases of MERRF are sporadic, most cases are maternally inherited due to a mutation within the mitochondria. The most common MERRF mutation is A8344G, which accounted for over 80% of the cases (GeneReview article). Four other mitochondrial DNA mutations have been reported to cause MERRF.

Inborn errors of urea synthesis: This metabolic disorder occurs when a series of enzyme reactions that remove nitrogen waste from the blood, called the urea cycle, is disrupted, leading to increased levels of ammonia in the blood and a condition called hyperammonemia, which leads to mental retardation, coma and death.

Cystinosis: This metabolic disorder is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of the amino acid cystine in the body, causing cystine to build up in the kidneys, eyes, muscles, pancreas and brain, eventually leading to tissue and organ damage.

Phenylketonuria (PKU), one of the most commonly screened metabolic disorders, can readily and reliably be detected by MS/MS. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, most commonly caused by a mutation in the gene coding for phenylalanine hydroxylase.

3.Fatal infantile multisystem disorder – characterized by poor muscle tone, developmental delay, heart disease, lactic acidosis, and respiratory failure. Most cases of Complex I deficiency result from autosomal recessive inheritance (combination of defective nuclear genes from both the mother and the father). Less frequently, the disorder is maternally inherited or sporadic and the genetic defect is in the mitochondrial DNA.

Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, quidine, quinine, anti-malarial drugs and sulfonamids are the most common triggers of hymoletic anemia—i.e., low levels of red blood cells in the blood—in patients with this metabolic disorders.

The rate of visits due to metabolic and immunity disorders was also higher among men than women (2.7 versus 1.9 percent of visits, respectively). However, the rate of visits for thyroid disorders was higher among women than men (0.8 versus 0.3 percent of visits, respectively).
