Reporting Name

Acylglycines, QN, U

Useful For

Biochemical screening of asymptomatic patients affected with 1 of the following inborn errors of metabolism:

-Short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency

-Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency

-Medium-chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (MCKAT) deficiency

-Glutaric acidemia type II

-Ethylmalonic encephalopathy

-2-Methylbutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency

-Isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency

-Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Specimen Type

Urine


Advisory Information


Diagnostic specificity of inborn errors of metabolism via urine acylglycine testing is useful only for the selected inborn errors of metabolism; it is recommended that urine organic acids (OAU / Organic Acids Screen, Urine) be ordered and run simultaneously due to the limited number of metabolites included in this urine acylglycine test.



Necessary Information


1. Patient's age is required.

2. Include family history, clinical condition (asymptomatic or acute episode), diet, and drug therapy information.



Specimen Required


Supplies: Urine Tubes, 10 mL (T068)

Container/Tube: Plastic, 10-mL urine tube (T068)

Specimen Volume: 10 mL

Pediatric: If insufficient collection volume, submit as much specimen as possible in a single container; the laboratory will determine if volume is sufficient for testing.

Collection Instructions:

1. Collect a random urine specimen.

2. No preservative.
