Rapid determination of C4-acylcarnitine and C5-acylcarnitine isomers in plasma and dried blood spots by UPLC-MS/MS as a second tier test following flow-injection MS/MS acylcarnitine profile analysis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Flow-injection MS/MS methods for elevated acylcarnitines are routinely performed in most newborn screening and biochemical genetics laboratories; however this technique cannot distinguish between isobaric compounds; therefore, chromatographic separation is required to quantitate isomers for differential diagnosis of some inborn errors of metabolism. METHODS:A UPLC-MS/MS method has been developed for the simultaneous quantitation of isobutyrylcarnitine and butyrylcarnitine, and a second UPLC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of isovalerylcarnitine, (S) and (R) 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine, pivaloylcarnitine and valerylcarnitine. Plasma and dried blood spots samples are extracted with methanol and derivatized with butanolic HCl. Deuterium labeled internal standards are used for quantitation. Separation is obtained using a methanol/water gradient with a C18 BEH, 1x100mm, 1.7microm UPLC column, at 60 degrees C; run time is less than 10min. The isomers are detected with a Quattro Premier triple quadrupole, with electrospray ionization in positive ion mode. RESULTS:Intra-day precision in plasma and dried blood spots ranged from 1.4% to 14% and accuracy from 88% to 114% respectively for butyrylcarnitine and isobutyrylcarnitine. Precision for the isomers of C5-acylcarnitine ranged from 1.3% to 15% and accuracy 87% to 119%, respectively in plasma or dried blood spots. Inter-day precision was within 20% at each concentration of isobutyrylcarnitine and butyrylcarnitine. Precision for 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine and isovalerylcarnitine at concentrations above the normal range was within 24%. CONCLUSIONS:Two diagnostic tests based on the separation of C4-acylcarnitine and C5-acylcarnitine isomers by UPLC-MS/MS provide fast differential diagnosis of SCAD deficiency versus IBCD deficiency and IVA versus 2-MBCD deficiency. The separation of C5-acylcarnitines can reveal false elevation due to pivalic acid-containing antibiotics. Abnormal newborn screen results due to pivalate-generating prodrug antibiotics of maternal origin were confirmed. This separation of isomers can resolve multiple diagnostic challenges in both newborn screening and in cases with ambiguous metabolic test results.
