MTP deficiency caused by HADHB mutations: Pathophysiology and clinical manifestations.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the HADHB gene lead to Mitochondrial Trifunctional Protein (MTP) deficiency. MTP deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting long-chain fatty acid oxidation. Patients affected by MTP deficiency are unable to metabolize long-chain fatty-acids and suffer a variety of symptoms exacerbated during fasting. The three phenotypes associated with complete MTP deficiency are an early-onset...
