BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.1865 TANGO2 Ari Horton changed review comment from: Folate may assist with TANGO2
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1778084/v1

While chronic symptoms are predominantly neurodevelopmental, metabolic stressors such as fasting, dehydration, illness, and excessive heat can trigger episodic metabolic crises characterized by encephalopathy, ataxia, muscle weakness, rhabdomyolysis, and hypoglycemia. During these events, patients can develop acute life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Arrhythmias typically initiate with isolated premature ventricular contractions (PVC) followed by recalcitrant ventricular tachycardia. Because these lethal arrhythmias usually do not respond to standard antiarrhythmic therapies, cardiac arrhythmias are the leading cause of death in TDD

Fasting and feeding recommendations to reduce crises and improve cardiac status and neurodev outcomes, reduce risk of cardiac arrhythmias and SCDY

Natural history study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05374616) strongly suggests that subjects on a multivitamin or a Bcomplex vitamin supplement have a greatly reduced risk for metabolic crises and cardiac arrhythmias

Specific diet and fasting plans are recommended for all patients from the neonatal period

Twenty-seven children were admitted for 43 cardiac crises (median age 6.4 years; interquartile range [IQR] 2.4–9.8 years) at 14 centers. During crisis, QTc prolongation occurred in all (median 547 ms; IQR 504–600 ms) and a type I Brugada pattern in 8 (26%). Arrhythmias included VT in 21 (78%), supraventricular tachycardia in 3 (11%), and heart block in 1 (4%). Nineteen patients (70%) developed cardiomyopathy, and 20 (74%) experienced a cardiac arrest. There were 10 deaths (37%), 6 related to arrhythmias. In 5 patients, recalcitrant VT occurred despite use of antiarrhythmic drugs. In 6 patients, arrhythmias were controlled after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support; 5 of these patients survived. Among 10 patients who survived VT without ECMO, successful treatment included intravenous magnesium, isoproterenol, and atrial pacing in multiple cases and verapamil in 1 patient. Initiation of feeds seemed to decrease VT events.

Specific diet and fasting plans are recommended for all patients from the neonatal period

Individuals with LDS are predisposed to widespread and aggressive arterial aneurysms which are the major source of morbidity and mortality. Aortic growth can be faster than 10mm per year. Aortic dissection has been observed in early childhood, and the mean age of death is 26 years. Other life-threatening manifestations include spontaneous rupture of the spleen, bowel, and uterine rupture during pregnancy.

Prophylactic surgical repair is typically recommended at an aortic diameter of ≥ 4.2 cm.

Beta-blockers or other medications can be used to reduce hemodynamic stress.

Consider Medicalert bracelet.

Use of subacute bacterial endocarditis prophylaxis should be considered for individuals with connective tissue disorders and documented evidence of mitral and/or aortic regurgitation who are undergoing dental work or other procedures expected to contaminate the bloodstream with bacteria.

Because of a high risk of cervical spine instability, a flexion and extension x-ray of the cervical spine should be performed prior to intubation or any other procedure involving manipulation of the neck.

BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.664 ETFB Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Well established gene-disease association.

Glutaric aciduria II (GA2) is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder of fatty acid, amino acid, and choline metabolism. It differs from GA I in that multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies result in large excretion not only of glutaric acid, but also of lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids.

The heterogeneous clinical features of MADD fall into 3 classes: a neonatal-onset form with congenital anomalies (type I), a neonatal-onset form without congenital anomalies (type II), and a late-onset form (type III). The neonatal-onset forms are usually fatal and are characterized by severe nonketotic hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, multisystem involvement, and excretion of large amounts of fatty acid- and amino acid-derived metabolites. Symptoms and age at presentation of late-onset MADD are highly variable and characterized by recurrent episodes of lethargy, vomiting, hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and hepatomegaly often preceded by metabolic stress. Muscle involvement in the form of pain, weakness, and lipid storage myopathy also occurs. The organic aciduria in those with the late-onset form of MADD is often intermittent and only evident during periods of illness or catabolic stress.

Treatment: riboflavin, carnitine, glycine, Coenzyme Q10 supplementation, fat restriction, avoidance of fasting, and a diet rich in carbohydrates

Non-genetic confirmatory tests: plasma acylcarnitine profile, urine organic acid analysis; to: Well established gene-disease association.
