A fatal neonatal case of medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency with homozygous A-->G985 transition
Abstract
A term neonate became lethargic and hypotonic at 46 hours of age and died 10 hours later despite supportive therapy. Urinary organic acids indicated medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency, and DNA studies confirmed this disorder. Neonatal symptoms in this enzyme deficiency have rarely been reported, and recent reviews have ignored or discounted this presentation.
