Abstract
Public health newborn screening (NBS) programs provide population-scale ascertainment of rare, treatable conditions that require urgent intervention. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is currently used to screen newborns for a panel of rare inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs)1,2,3,4. The NBSeq project evaluated whole-exome sequencing (WES) as an innovative methodology for NBS. We obtained archived residual dried blood spots and data for nearly all IEM cases from the 4.5 million infants born in California between mid-2005 and 2013 and from some infants who screened positive by MS/MS, but were unaffected upon follow-up testing. WES had an overall sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 98.4%, compared to 99.0% and 99.8%, respectively for MS/MS, although effectiveness varied among individual IEMs. Thus, WES alone was insufficiently sensitive or specific to be a primary screen for most NBS IEMs. However, as a secondary test for infants with abnormal MS/MS screens, WES could reduce false-positive results, facilitate timely case resolution and in some instances even suggest more appropriate or specific diagnosis than that initially obtained. This study represents the largest, to date, sequencing effort of an entire population of IEM-affected cases, allowing unbiased assessment of current capabilities of WES as a tool for population screening.

Data availability
The de-identified residual DBS from the California Biobank for this project (SIS request number 496) were obtained with a waiver of consent from the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects of the State of California, under project no. 14-07-1650 and in compliance with CDPH Biospecimen/Data Use and Confidentiality Agreement. California blood specimens and any data derived from the newborn screening program are confidential and subject to strict administrative, physical and technical protections. California law precludes any researcher from sharing blood specimens or uploading individual data derived from these blood specimens into any genomic data repository. Researchers desiring access to these data would need to make a separate application to the CPDH. Data in Fig. 2b,c and Extended Data Figs. 6, 9 and 10 can be found in Supplementary Table 3.
Code availability
Variant calling and annotation for the exome sequences were performed using previously published methods as described above. The code used for the screening analysis of exome data and subsequent assessments are deposited in GitHub (https://github.com/nbseq1200/NBSeq1200paper).

Extended Data Fig. 4 Example showing variability of gene coverage in two IEM genes in the study across 1,216 samples.
MCCC2, top, has poor coverage in the first exon across all samples. In contrast, ACADM, bottom, has good coverage across the gene. The blue vertical lines indicate positions with known pathogenic variants in HGMD and ClinVar. Plot of log10 of the median, 20th percentile and minimum coverage for each coding exon across all samples for a given sample set. Dark grey: Median coverage, medium grey: 20th percentile coverage, light grey: minimum coverage for each position. Coverage quality of each exon is indicated by colored blocks beneath the exon. Coverage quality of each exon is indicated by colored blocks beneath the coverage plot. Red: Greater than 15% of exon has less than 10x median coverage; green: 95% of the exon has minimum 20x coverage. UTRs that are part of the coding exons have a smaller indicator thickness. Regions of the exon that overlap with the capture array are indicated in blue just below the coverage plot. Exon scale in bases is shown in each plot.
Extended Data Fig. 5 Alternative pipelines derived from the final exome analysis pipeline to explore sensitivity-specificity tradeoffs.
We created several alternate pipelines, altering or truncating different parts of the final exome analysis pipeline to probe contributions to overall sensitivity and specificity from various components of the pipeline. For each pipeline, the overall sensitivity and specificity on the NBSeq test set are shown. a, Final exome analysis pipeline b-i) Alternatives: b) Altering final pipeline by considering every CNV call homozygous c-e) Truncating the CNV arm, curation arm and predicted impact arm, respectively. f-g, Retaining the predicted impact arm or curation arm only, respectively h) Retaining only the rare pathogenic HGMD & ClinVar databases i) Allowing multiple gene calls for each sample if more than one gene predicted.
Extended Data Fig. 6 Distribution of variants reported by the exome analysis pipeline in the NBSeq test set.
a, Number of different variant types reported by the pipeline in IEM-affected individuals in genes associated with their IEMs the NBSeq test set (n = 674 individuals). b, Distribution of the types of variants responsible for the predictions of disease status in the 571 affected individuals correctly identified by the exome analysis pipeline.
Extended Data Fig. 7 Whole genome sequencing confirms potential IVD deletions in two individuals diagnosed with isovaleric acidemia initially missed in exome.
In two cases where we performed WGS upon follow up of an exome false negative, we identified large deletions in the associated IVD gene. The WGS read alignments in the genomic region spanning the IVD is shown on the right for the two cases. The first case had almost no coverage in the region spanning the first three exons of IVD. The second case had almost no coverage of exon 12 of IVD along with low coverage across the whole gene. The first case had 11 split reads spanning the deleted region confirming the deletion event of the first three exons.
Extended Data Fig. 8 Experimental splicing assay of a potentially pathogenic intronic variant in an exome false negative case.
a, In an individual affected with MCADD, the exome analysis pipeline reported only a single rare nonsynonymous variant. A second rare intronic variant 14 bases from the splice site (NM_000016.4:c.388-14A>G) was a suspected pathogenic modification of the branchpoint A nucleotide. b, Diagram of the heterologous HBB splicing reporter construct containing the wild type ACADM sequence or the c.388-14A>G variant. c, RT-PCR analysis of reporter transcripts from wild type or mutant (lanes 1 and 2, respectively) reporter plasmids expressed in HEK293T cells (amplicons resolved by 12% PAGE and stained with SYBR Gold). The two spliced products are shown to the right of the gel image. The experiments were performed three times independently with similar results. d, Chromatograms corresponding to the sequence spliced junctions between HBB exon 1 and the wild type or mutant ACADM exon 6 constructs (left and right panel, respectively). e, Open reading frame of aberrant ACADM mRNA containing a 13 nt extension of exon 6 (red), resulting in a premature termination codon (PTC, *).

Extended Data Fig. 9 Stratification of IEM-affected and MS/MS false positives by alleles reported by the exome analysis pipeline for NPV estimation of NPV of exome as a follow-up test after a positive MS/MS screen.
For six MS/MS screens (VLCADD, PKU, LCHADD/TFP, IVA, MSUD, and GA-II), IEM-affected and MS/MS false positive cases in the NBSeq test set are stratified by the number of alleles reported by the exome analysis pipeline in the genes associated with those screens.
Extended Data Fig. 10 Zygosity distribution of variants reported by the pipeline in relevant gene(s).
For each IEM, bars show the zygosity distribution of the variants in relevant genes reported by the exome pipeline for the 674 IEM-affected cases from the test set. The numbers of cases correctly identified by the pipeline are broken down into those that had homozygous variants in relevant gene(s) (dark blue) and those that had two heterozygous variants in relevant genes(s) (orange). The number of cases that failed to be identified by the pipeline are broken down into those that had one heterozygous variant in relevant gene(s) (light blue) and those that had no reported variants in the relevant gene(s) (dark red). Left, core IEMs screened by California; right, secondary/add-on IEMs. IEMs sharing a common causative gene were not distinguished by the exome predictions alone. These included TFP and LCHADD (blue shading), PKU and hyperphenylalaninemia (pink shading), and the various MMA subtypes (yellow shading).
