Anemia, edema, and length and weight below the 10th tile were the presenting signs in an infant with cystic fibrosis. She had a peripheral blood smear characterized by poikylocytosis, acanthocytosis and anisocytosis; low serum total proteins, albumin, and tocopherol/total lipid ratio. Following two
The mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) is a multienzyme complex which catalyses three of the four chain-shortening reactions in the beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. Clinically, failure of long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation leads to hypoketotic hypoglycaemia associated with coma,
Patients with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) and long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD)/mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) deficiency, disorders of the mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation, can present with hypoketotic hypoglycemia, rhabdomyolysis, and
During an 18-mo period (May 2002-November 2003), 10 animals in a herd of 19 reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) at the National Animal Disease Center (NADC) experienced episodes of anemia. Affected animals had histories of weight loss, unthriftiness, occasionally edema of dependent parts and moderate
BACKGROUND
The human mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) complex is composed of 4 hydroacyl-CoA dehydrogenase-alpha (HADHA) and 4 hydroacyl-CoA dehydrogenase-beta (HADHB) subunits, which catalyze the last 3 steps in the fatty acid beta-oxidation spiral of long-chain fatty acids. The HADHB gene
