متن کاملFenofibrate Therapy in Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase Type 2 Deficiency
Bezafibrate therapy has been shown to improve beta-oxidation of fatty acids and to reduce episodes of rhabdomyolysis in patients with carnitine palmitoyltransferase type-2 (CPT2) deficiency. We report the efficacy of fenofibrate in a patient with CPT2 deficiency, in whom beta-oxidation was improved but an episode of rhabdomyolysis nevertheless occurred. This suggests additional methods to avoid...

We discuss two adult siblings who presented with symptoms of myalgia and rhabdomyolysis following exercise with myoglobinuria; genetic testing confirmed carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency and resulted in institution of appropriate crisis management and dietary advice. We explore the phenotypic variability of this commonest fatty oxidation defect that remains under-diagnosed in the adu...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up of bezafibrate treatment in patients with the myopathic form of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency.
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) deficiency is a rare mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) disorder characterized by myalgia, exercise intolerance, and rhabdomyolysis. We evaluate the efficacy of bezafibrate (BZ), a hypolipidemic drug, as a treatment for this form of CPT2 deficiency. A pilot trial was conducted with BZ in six patients for 6 months. There was a follow-up period of 3 y...

A 48-year-old male patient with underlying CPT II enzyme deficiency is described. Emotional stress appeared to precipitate recurrent myalgias, rhabdomyolysis and reversible renal impairment over a 40-year period. Our search of the English literature indicates this to be the first time that the emotional stress has been documented to precipitate the CPT II syndrome. Although the pathogenesis of ...
