Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase Deficiency
Deficiencies of carnitine palmitoyltransferases (CPT) 1 and 2 are inborn errors of carnitine metabolism. CPT1 and CPT2 are integral components of the... -
A novel pathogenic variant in the carnitine transporter gene, SLC22A5, in association with metabolic carnitine deficiency and cardiomyopathy features
BackgroundPrimary carnitine deficiency (PCD) denotes low carnitine levels with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Cardiomyopathy is the...
