Tandem Mass Neonatal Screening in Taiwan—Report from One Center
Neonatal screening using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) started in Taiwan in 2000. We evaluated the efficacy of this system by analyzing the frequency of diseases and the outcome of the patients identified.

Serum Cytokine Profiling Differentiates Underlying Diseases in Cytokine Storm Syndrome
Serum cytokine profiling was performed using Luminex (48 cytokines) and ELISA (5 cytokines). Assessment of key cytokines (IFN‐α, IL‐18, IL‐6, CXCL9) delineated five dominant inflammatory patterns: I, IFN‐α–dominant CSS; II, IL‐18–dominant CSS; III, IL‐6–dominant CSS; IV, IFN‐γ–dominant CSS; and V, IL‐6 & IFN‐γ intermediate CSS.

Sequential magnetic resonance spectroscopic changes in a patient with nonketotic hyperglycinemia [PDF]
Nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a rare inborn error of amino acid metabolism. A defect in the glycine cleavage enzyme system results in highly elevated concentrations of glycine in the plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain, resulting in ...

Not So Rare: Errors of Metabolism during the Neonatal Period
During the neonatal period, the diagnosis of an error of metabolism (EM) was once thought to portend a poor prognosis or lethality. Over the past two decades, the prognosis of many EMs has changed.

Effects of Renal and Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Zilurgisertib
Aim Small‐molecule activin receptor‐like kinase‐2 inhibitor zilurgisertib (INCB000928) is under investigation in a pivotal trial for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an ultrarare genetic condition. This analysis assessed effects of renal and hepatic impairment on zilurgisertib pharmacokinetics.
