Biochemical and genetic characteristics of patients with primary carnitine deficiency identified through newborn screening

Abstract Background Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of carnitine transportation that leads to impaired fatty acid oxidation. Large-scale studies on newborn screening (NBS) for PCD are limited. This study aimed to investigate the biochemical and genetic character...
