| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Incidence of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Endocrine Disorders Among 40965 Newborn Infants at Riyadh Second Health Cluster of the Ministry of Health Saudi Arabia. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) and endocrine disorders are common genetic conditions in the Saudi population with the incidence rate often underestimated. In summary, we provide updated data and our experience on the incidence of various IEM and endocrine disorders among the Saudi population, highlight the role of false positive results of biotinidase activity that can increase the recall rate and lead to overestimation of the incidence data, and recommend multicenter studies to achieve a successful national NBS program.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
