The most common form of carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT II) deficiency occurs in adults and is characterized by muscle pain, stiffness, and myoglobinuria, triggered by exercise, fasting, or other metabolic stress. This study reports the molecular heterogeneity of CPT2 mutations and their bioc

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT II) deficiency is the most common lipid myopathy in adults and is characterized by exerciseinduced pain, stiffness, and myoglobinuria. Retrospective analysis of patients with CPT II deficiency has made it possible to correlate the presence of disease-causing mu
## Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT II) deficiency manifests as two different clinical phenotypes: a muscular form and a hepatic form. We have investigated three nonconsanguineous Japanese patients with CPT II deficiency. Molecular analysis revealed two missense mutations, a glutamate (174)to
