Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) represent an important public health problem due to current diagnosis and treatment limitations, poor life quality of affected patients, and consequent untimely child death. In contrast to classical methods, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has allowed simultaneous evaluation of multiple metabolites associated with IEM offering higher sensitivity, low false positive rates and high throughput. AIMS: Determine concentration levels for amino acids and acylcarnitines in blood of newborns from Colombia, to establish reference values for further use in diagnosis of IEM.Entities:

*IQR es el rango entre el percentil 25 y 75
Figura 1Diagramas de dispersión para algunos AAs. A. Aminoácidos (fenilalanina, metionina y leucina) y B. carnitina de cadena corta (carnitina libre e isovalerilcarnitina) y carnitina de cadena larga (palmitoilcarnitina) por edad. Se resaltan la media, mediana, los percentiles 1º y 99º y la regresión lineal. Cada analito tiene una escala diferente, todos ellos medidos en µmol/L.
Figura 2Diagramas de caja y bigotes por sexo para la arginina, la carnitina libre y la miristoilcarnitina. Las cajas corresponden al percentil 25 y 75 y la línea horizontal es la concentración media del analito.
