Abstract excerpt
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT II) deficiency manifests as two different clinical phenotypes: a muscular form and a hepatic form. We have investigated three nonconsanguineous Japanese patients with CPT II deficiency. Molecular analysis revealed two missense mutations, a glutamate (174)-to-lysine substitution (E174K) and a phenylalanine (383)-to-tyrosine substitution (F383Y) in the CPT II cDNA....
