Novel mutations in CPT 1A define molecular heterogeneity of hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) deficiency is a rare disorder of hepatic mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation. It characteristically presents with symptoms associated with failure of ketogenesis (hypoketotic hypoglycemia). The disorder is due to mutations in the CPT 1A gene for which few patients have been characterized. We present here four novel mutations in five patients from four...
