A member asked:
Is there any fatty acid oxidation disorders that arent screened in newborns that can have symptoms show up in adulthood or brought on by dietary changes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early newborn screening programs in all of the US varied by stares and only included most fatty acid oxidation disorders by the late 2000s. You may have never been screened. That said, I know of no such disorders that do not emerge during the rapid growth of infancy/childhood or the common illnesses that would emerge in that timeframe. Please consult with an internist for any related issue
