Action: Routine labs, Total and Free carnitine (plasma and urine)
Carnitine uptake defect (C0 low, total carnitine low-nl) - get OCTN2 gene analysis or tranporster assay
If C0 and total carnitine normal - consider maternal CUD and rule out GA1

NBS: High C0/C16+C18
Action: routine labs, ACP, F/T Carnitine
CPT1 (C0 high, long chain AC low)

GA2
Ethylmalonic encephalopathy (C4 high, Ethylmalonic acid, methylsuccinic acid, isovalerylglycine)
If all normal can still be mild GA2
- Get moleculr testing for GA2 (ETF/ETF-QO) or EE (ETHE1) if suspected

NBS: High C4
Action: Routine labs, UOA, ACP
IBDH deficiency (C4 high, Isobutrylglycine high) - ACAD8 (ABDH) sequencing
SCAD (C4 high, EMA) - SCAD sequencing
Ethylmalonic encephalopathy (C4 high, EMA, Isovaleryl glycine, methylsuccinic acid) - ETHE sequencing

NBS: high C4OH, normal C5OH/C5:1
Action: Routine labs, ACP, UOA, Insulin level, confirm C5OH/C5:1 are normal (if high consider organic acidurias)
SCHAD (C4OH high, OH-dicarboxylic acids, 3hydroxy glutarate) - Can get molecular testing

NBS: High C8, C6, or C10
Action: Labs, ACP, UOA
MCAD (C8 high, dicarboxycilic acids high, hexanoylglycine)
- Get confirmatory gene testing

NBS: high C14:1
Action : Labs, CPK, ACP
VLCAD (elevated C14, C16, C18s OR Gene sequencing)
- If ACP is normal MUST get molecular testing to rule out VLCAD

NBS: high C16 or C18:1
Action: Routine labs, CPK, ACP
CPT2 (high C16 and C18s, VLC/C0 ratio + fibroblast assay or CPT2 sequencing)
CACT (high C16 and C18s, VLC/C0 ratio + fibroblast assay or sequencing)

NBS: High C16OH, C18OH
Action: Routine labs, CPK, ACP, UOA
LCAD/TFP (C14OH, C16OH, C18OH, C18:1OH; C6-C14 dicarboxylic acids on UOA OR fibroblast/molecular analysis)
- If ACP/UOA normal MUST get fibroblast testing to rule out LCHAD/TFP, molecular = confirmatory (E510Q common mutaton)

NBS: Low GAA
Action: Routin e labs, GAA enzyme activity, urine Hex4
Pompe (GAA activity low AND confirmed by GAA genetic testing)
