Identification of 16 new disease-causing mutations in the CPT2 gene resulting in carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

The exonic regions of the carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) gene were characterized from 101 patients with defined clinical and biochemical evidence for the adult onset form of CPT II deficiency and in 2 patients detected as newborns with abnormal acylcarnitine profiles. Twenty-seven disease-causing mutations within the CPT2 gene were identified in this cohort, 16 of which were novel. A total of 60...
