Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT; EC 2.8.3.5; locus symbol OXCT) is the key enzyme of ketone body utilization. Hereditary SCOT deficiency (MIM 245050) causes episodes of severe ketoacidosis. We developed a transient expression system for mutant SCOT cDNAs, using immortalized SCOT-defici

Succinyl-CoA.3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) deficiency is a rare disorder of ketone body catabolism. In the present study, we prenatally diagnosed SCOT deficiency in a fetus in a family of which the proband was the first patient with SCOT deficiency identified in Japan, by analysis of enzyme acti
Two CT scans have been performed on a child with a biochemically confirmed 3-HMG-CoA-lyase deficiency. Macrocephalus, widespread hypodensity of the white matter with cystic alterations and progressive dilatation of the ventricles were found. The clinical features and CT findings are surprisingly sim
