Abstract excerpt
Two families with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency due to compound heterozygosity are described. All patients have a 13 bp insertion in exon 11 of one allele at the MCAD gene locus. In the other allele patients in one of the families harbour the prevalent G985 mutation, and the other family possess an unidentified mutation causing reduced levels of MCAD mRNA. We demonstrate that the disease...
