The selenium content of serum, whole blood and hair was measured by neutron activation analysis in dietetically treated patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) and maple-syrup-urine disease (MSUD). Follow-up studies showed a decrease of the serum selenium content and the glutathione peroxidase activity

The selenium concentration of serum is age-dependent. The median value at birth (Yc = 50 X 10-9g/ml) amounts to half of the median value of adults (2= 102X 10-9g/m1). After a decrease in early infancy to 2=34 X 10-9g/ml it steadily increases to 2= 58 >( 10-gg/ml in the second half of the first year,
We reviewed all referrals for prenatal diagnosis for inborn errors of metabolism and haemoglobinopathies performed at the Montreal Children's Hospital Prenatal Diagnosis Centre/McGill University during the period 1990-1995; 92 procedures were performed for these indications (less than 1 per cent of
To provide data about the frequency of prenatal misdiagnosis in achondroplasia (Ach), we retrospectively abstracted data from 37 consecutive referrals of infants with Ach where ultrasound was performed prenatally. Nine of 37 (24 per cent) had a positive family history of Ach; all nine were correctly
