Increased detection of primary carnitine deficiency through second-tier newborn genetic screening [PDF]
Background Newborn screening for primary carnitine deficiency (NBS) is commonly implemented worldwide; however, it has poor sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of improving screening by including a second-tier genetic assay. Results

Rare case of primary carnitine deficiency presenting as acute liver failure. [PDF]
Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the SLC22A5 gene that encodes carnitine transporter, OCTN2. Transporter deficiency leads to defective fatty acid oxidation.

Newborn Screening and Genetic Analysis Identify Six Novel Genetic Variants for Primary Carnitine Deficiency in Ningbo Area, China [PDF]
Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder that could result in sudden death. It is caused by a defect in the carnitine transporter encoded by SLC22A5 (Solute Carrier Family 22 Member 5, MIM:603377).

Molecular investigation in Chinese patients with primary carnitine deficiency [PDF]
Background Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of carnitine transportation caused by mutations in the SLC22A5 that lead to low serum carnitine levels and decreased intracellular carnitine accumulation.

Newborn screening for primary carnitine deficiency: who will benefit? - a retrospective cohort study. [PDF]
Background Newborn screening (NBS) programmes identify a wide range of disease phenotypes, which raises the question whether early identification and treatment is beneficial for all.

A Rare Treatable Cause of Cardiomyopathy: Primary Carnitine Deficiency. [PDF]
Introduction: Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss of function mutations in the solute carrier family 22 member 5 (SLC22A5) gene that encodes a high-affinity sodium-ion-dependent organic cation ...
