In this case, the work-up should include a
metabolic screen for lactic acid, ammonia, serum amino acids, and carnitine as well as urinary ketones and organic acids.
Bennett recommended that all children with developmental delay get a high-resolution banded karyotype, a DNA test for fragile X syndrome, and a urine
