The enzymology of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation and its application to follow-up analysis of positive neonatal screening results Wanders RJ; Ruiter JP; IJLst L; Waterham HR; Houten SMJ Inherit Metab Dis 2010[Oct]; 33 (5): 479-94Oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria is a key physiological process in higher eukaryotes including humans. The importance of the mitochondrial beta-oxidation system in humans is exemplified by the existence of a group of genetic diseases in man caused by an impairment in the mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids. Identification of patients with a defect in mitochondrial beta-oxidation has long remained notoriously difficult, but the introduction of tandem-mass spectrometry in laboratories for genetic metabolic diseases has revolutionalized the field by allowing the rapid and sensitive analysis of acylcarnitines. Equally important is that much progress has been made with respect to the development of specific enzyme assays to identify the enzyme defect in patients subsequently followed by genetic analysis. In this review, we will describe the current state of knowledge in the field of fatty acid oxidation enzymology and its application to the follow-up analysis of positive neonatal screening results.|*Energy Metabolism/genetics[MESH]|*Neonatal Screening/methods[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Biomarkers/blood[MESH]|Fatty Acids/*metabolism[MESH]|Genetic Testing[MESH]|Genotype[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Lipid Metabolism, Inborn Errors/diagnosis/*enzymology/genetics/therapy[MESH]|Mitochondria/*enzymology[MESH]|Mitochondrial Diseases/diagnosis/*enzymology/genetics/therapy[MESH]|Oxidation-Reduction[MESH]|Phenotype[MESH]|Tandem Mass Spectrometry[MESH] |
