Carnitine transporter OCTN2 mutations in systemic primary carnitine deficiency: a novel Arg169Gln mutation and a recurrent Arg282ter mutation associated with an unconventional splicing abnormality.

Abstract excerpt

Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (CDSP, MIM 212140) is a disorder of fatty acid oxidation manifesting in acute metabolic decompensation or in progressive cardiomyopathy and muscle weakness. Mutations in the plasmalemmal organic cation/carnitine transporter OCTN2 were recently identified in C...
