Abstract excerpt
Carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) transports acylcarnitines into mitochondria in exchange for free carnitine, and is therefore an essential component within the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. CACT deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation of the CACT gene. We have identified two novel mutations of the CACT gene in a patient with CACT deficiency. The first, a deletion mutation...
