Identification of a novel mutation in patients with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

Kimberly H. Courtwright & Joseph W. Summers Institute of Metabolic Disease, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75226, USA.

A novel mutation was identified in two unrelated patients with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. First, a 19-year-old Caucasian female presented with a devastating illness, resulting in sudden death in adulthood which is unusual. The second patient, now a 3.5-year-old male, presented at 17 months of age with a hypoglycemic seizure and dehydration. Sequence analysis revealed a novel mutation G617T in exon 8 resulting in an arginine to leucine substitution at codon 206 (R206L). Both patients were compound heterozygous for this G617T and the common mutation A985G. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
