Within a 7-month period at our institution, newborn screening by tandem mass spectrometry revealed 10 cases with elevated levels of malonylcarnitine, which suggested malonic aciduria. Malonic aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism. Confirmatory testing yielded normal

There is an urgent need for proper utilization of laboratory markers to diagnose vitamin B12 deficiency that should reduce false negative cases. We worked out a diagnostic algorithm that provides a two-step detection of vitamin B12 deficiency using holotranscobalamin as

Children are susceptible to mercury toxicity, and mercury has immunomodulatory effects. Lower folate and B-12, and higher homocysteine may represent susceptibility cofactors. A large proportion of variability in rubella immune response is attributable to environmental factors. This study aimed to
Biological markers for the status of vitamins B12 and D: the importance of some analytical aspects in relation to clinical interpretation of results When vitamin B12 deficiency is expressed clinically, the diagnostic performance of total cobalamin is identical to that
