  • Title: Neonatal vitamin B12 deficiency secondary to maternal subclinical pernicious anemia: identification by expanded newborn screening.
    Author: Marble M, Copeland S, Khanfar N, Rosenblatt DS.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2008 May; 152(5):731-3. PubMed ID: 18410783.
    Abstract:
    A neonate with elevated propionylcarnitine on the newborn screen was found to have methylmalonic acidemia due to vitamin B(12) deficiency. The mother was also vitamin B(12)-deficient. This case illustrates the utility of expanded newborn screening for detection of vitamin B(12) deficiency, allowing prompt treatment and prevention of potential sequelae.
