| Description | X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the ATP-binding cassette subfamily D member 1 gene (ABCD1) that encodes the adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ALDP). Defects in ALDP result in elevated cerotic acid, and lead to C26:0-lysophosphatidylcholine (C26:0-LPC) accumulation, which is the primary biomarker used in newborn screening (NBS) for X-ALD. C26:0-LPC levels were measured in dried blood spot (DBS) NBS specimens using a flow injection analysis (FIA) coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) performed in negative ion mode. The method was validated by assessing and confirming linearity, accuracy, and precision. We have also established C26:0-LPC cutoff values that identify newborns at risk for X-ALD. The mean concentration of C26:0-LPC in 5881 de-identified residual routine NBS specimens was 0.07 ± 0.02 µM (mean + 1 standard deviation (SD)). All tested true X-ALD positive and negative samples were correctly identified based on C26:0-LPC cutoff concentrations for borderline between 0.15 µM and 0.22 µM (mean + 4 SD) and presumptive screening positive at ≥0.23 µM (mean + 8 SD). The presented FIA method shortens analysis run-time to 1.7 min, while maintaining the previously established advantage of utilizing negative mode MS to eliminate isobaric interferences that could lead to screening false positives. |
