Neonatal screening for medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

Neonatal screening for medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency has not yet been introduced in the UK, primarily because of uncertainty about the natural history of the disorder and concerns about the specificity of the screening test. To obtain data on these issues, we did a retrospective study in which we analysed the concentrations of acylcarnitines in stored neonatal blood spot...

[Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency].

common disorder of fatty acid oxidation affecting 1 in 13,000 newborns and is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder. This enzyme deficiency results in the inability to catabolize medium-chain (6-12 carbon molecules) fatty acids for energy utilization. MCAD deficiency often presents in the first two years of life after viral illness or fasting. This inability to break down medium-chain li...

[Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency].

From 65 reported cases of medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, we found an average presenting age of 13.5 months and a mean age at death of 18.5 months. One quarter of patients died of a Reye-like syndrome and/or sudden infant death. In half the cases there had been at least one sibling death. Asymptomatic cases were not uncommon (12% of cases). The crises were generally induced by a...

anesthetic considerations in medium-chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency

in the 1980’s, medium-chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency (mcadd) was first described in the literature as three children who presented with coma, hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia, and fatty liver while fasting. these symptoms while similar to reye’s syndrome, were found to be due to an inability to metabolize medium chain fatty acids during fasting periods. fatty acids are utilized by the body...
