Development and implementation of a novel assay for l-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (l-2-HGDH) in cell lysates: l-2-HGDH deficiency in 15 patients with l-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria
l-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (l-2-HGA) is a rare inherited autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding l-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase. An assay to evaluate l-2-hydrox...

Persistent increase of plasma butyryl/isobutyrylcarnitine concentrations as marker of SCAD defect and ethylmalonic encephalopathy
High concentrations of butyryl/isobutyrylcarnitine (C4-carnitine) in plasma with increase of ethylmalonic acid (EMA) in urine point to different genetic entities, and further investigations are required to differ...

CDG IIx with unusual phenotype
Summary: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of genetic diseases characterized by defective protein glycosylation. N-glycosylation defects are divided into two groups (I and II). CDG group II...

Respiratory complex II defect in siblings associated with a symptomatic secondary block in fatty acid oxidation
Summary: The mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid oxidation pathways have traditionally been considered independent major sources of cellular energy production; however,...

Recurrent vomiting and ethylmalonic aciduria associated with rare mutations of the short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene
Summary: We report identification of short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency in a 12-year-old boy who suffered from recurrent attacks of vomiting once or twice a year from infancy. Growth and develo...

Adolescent myopathic presentation in two sisters with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Two sisters were investigated at the ages of 20 and 13 years owing to persistently increased serum creatine kinase and recurrent episodes of rhabdomyolysis after emotional stress in the older and myalgias in t...

Recognition and management of fatty acid oxidation defects: A series of 107 patients
In a personal series of 107 patients, we describe clinical presentations, methods of recognition and therapeutic management of inherited fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defects. As a whole, FAO disorders appear ver...

Stable-isotope selected-ion monitoring quantification of methylmalonic acid in dried filter-paper urine samples
Urea and creatinine were measured by Kodak Ektachem methods and methylmalonic acid by stable-isotope gas chromatography—mass spectrometry in 24 urine samples from patients with methylmalonic acidaemia. For eac...

The mutational spectrum in very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
We have shown that all of seven unrelated patients with defective palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenation have mutations in VLCAD, indicating that they suffer from VLCAD deficiency.
