Carnitine palmitoyltransferase type 2 deficiency: novel mutation in a Native South American family with whole-body muscle magnetic resonance imaging findings: two case reports.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The myopathic form of carnitine palmitoyltransferase type II deficiency is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic myopathy usually starting in childhood. Most reports have been on European and Japanese populations, and no Native South American patients have been reported to date. The p.Ser113Leu mutation is the most frequent in the European population. Only lower-leg magnetic resonance imaging...
