Recurrent myoglobinuria due to carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency: expression of the molecular phenotype in cultured muscle cells.

Abstract excerpt

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency (CPT II) is an autosomal recessive disorder and the most frequent cause of hereditary myoglobinuria. We report the case of a young man who presented a severe fever-induced episode of rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria resulting in acute renal failure. Cultured skeletal muscle cells have been used for the biochemical and molecular characterization of the defect in this...
