Genetic deficiency of short-chain acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenase activity was demonstrated in cultured fibroblasts from a 2-yr-old female whose early postnatal life was complicated by poor feeding, emesis, and failure to thrive. She demonstrated progressive skeletal muscle weakness and
A boy aged 11 years was admitted due to intermittent weakness and difficulty in walking for 6 years, and hepatomegaly, glycopenia and unconsciousness for 4 years. The laboratory examinations showed severe metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, and abnormal liver function. CT scan showed marked liver
This is the case of a 41 year old man, suffering general weakness and elevated liver enzymes, sensitive to a treatment with riboflavin and coenzyme Q(10). Tandem mass spectroscopy and molecular analysis reveal a multiple acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) with two novel heterozygote missense
OBJECTIVE
To determine an underlying genetic defect within the differential diagnosis of congenital multicore myopathy.
BACKGROUND
A 13.5-year-old girl presented with congenital-onset facial and neck weakness, slowly progressive severe limb girdle and axial myopathy, respiratory weakness,
We report a case with late onset riboflavin-responsive multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency (MADD) characterized by decreased acyl-carnitine profile in serum which is consistent with primary systemic carnitine deficiency (CDSP) while just the contrary to a typical MADD. This patient
Background: Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a wide range of clinical features, including muscle weakness, hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and multisystem dysfunctions. Loss-of-function mutations in the electron transfer
Late-onset multiple acyl-coA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder. It is still unclear about the muscle magnetic resonance image (MRI) pattern of the distal lower limb pre- and post-treatment in patients with late-onset MADD. This study A girl of first cousin parents presented in the 1st year of life with a progressive neurological disease with muscle weakness and hypotonia, accompanied later by dystonia. Investigations, including gas chromatography of urine, showed no abnormality. Autopsy showed marked neuronal loss and gliosis in
Late-onset multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) with electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH) gene mutations is the most common lipid storage myopathy (LSM) in China. Its clinical features vary widely and pose a challenge for diagnosis. We presented the significant clinical
Late-onset multiple acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) mainly affects the neck extensor muscle group, which has been confirmed by novel mutations in electron-transferring-flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH). So far, a few cases have been reported with long-term follow-up. BACKGROUND
Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is a rare genetic disease involving fatty acid oxidation. It is due to the deficiency of one of the two electron transporters: electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) or electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone oxydoreductase (ETF-QO).
Crataegus (Hawthorn) fruit extracts (CE) are widely used for the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases (arrhythmias, heart failure, myocardial weakness, etc). Despite the fact that many of these diseases are associated with disturbances of the mitochondria, no data have been found on the
We report a novel mutation in the electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (EFTDH) gene in an adolescent Chinese patient with late-onset riboflavin-responsive multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) characterized by muscle weakness as early symptom. At the age of 9 years, the patient
We reported a male infant with multiple acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, probably due to electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase deficiency. He was noted to have severe muscle weakness, a high serum creatine kinase (CK) level up to 6920 IU/L, lipid storage myopathy and fatty liver at 6 months
The acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ACDs) are mitochondrial enzymes that dehydrogenate acyl-coenzyme A esters of different chain lengths. Inherited deficiencies of these dehydrogenases are commonly associated with muscle weakness and lipid storage. Numerous assays including spectrophotometric,
