BackgroundMost patients with isolated methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) /propionic acidemia (PA) presenting during the neonatal period with acute metabolic distress are at risk for death and significant neurodevelopmental disability. The nationwide newborn screening for MMA/PA has been in place in Taiwan from January, 2000 and data was collected until December, 2016.ResultsDuring the study period, 3,155,263 newborns were screened. The overall incidence of MMA mutase type cases was 1/121,356 (n=26), 1 cobalamin B was detected and that for PA cases (n=4) was 1/788,816. The time of referral is 8.8days for MMA patients, and 7.5days for PA patients. The MMA mutase type patients have higher AST, ALT, and NH3 values as well as a lower pH value (p
