Many of the previously described enzymatic assay methods for the diagnosis of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency have been dependent upon the measurement of radioisotope-labeled co-products or reduction of electron acceptors. We have developed a direct assay method to detect 2-enoyl-CoA production using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Crude cell lysate prepared from lymphocytes were incubated with n-octanoyl-CoA and ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate. The detection of 2-octenoyl-CoA was significantly reproducible. We applied the assay to samples from four infants suspected to have MCAD deficiency by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) newborn screening conducted in the Hiroshima area of Japan. Three of them were proved to have pathologically reduced residual enzyme activities, although they were associated with various clinical and biochemical phenotypes. In addition, another symptomatic Japanese patient and her presymptomatic sibling who were detected by MS/MS selective screening were successfully diagnosed by our enzymatic assay. These results indicate that the method can be a useful confirmatory test for MS/MS screening of MCAD deficiency.
