Abstract:
Neonatal inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) screening has been widely conducted worldwide. Tandem mass spectrum (MS/MS) is the main procedure of IMD screening. As a new technique, gene sequencing has been put into practice for IMD screening. Nowadays, the morbidity and disease spectrum of IMD in China is still unclear. A summary of general and single morbidity, and disease spectrum of China's IMD from publications of MS/MS screening could provide evidence for establishing neonatal IMD's genetic test and formulation of laws and regulations.
