[An analysis of clinical characteristics and gene mutation in two patients with medium- and short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency].

Abstract excerpt

Medium- and short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is a disorder of fatty acid β-oxidation. Gene mutation prevents medium- and short-chain fatty acids from entry into mitochondria for oxidation, which leads to multiple organ dysfunction. In this study, serum acylcarnitines and the organic acid profile in urea were analyzed in two children whose clinical symptoms were hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis....
