## Abstract We report on a 6‐year‐old girl who presented at 6 months of age with seizures, delayed psychomotor development and mild facial dysmorphism. A small muscular ventricular septal defect was documented on echocardiogram and brain MRI showed a frontal brain anomaly. Urine organic acid analys
Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is a life-threatening disorder of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation. We identified four novel mutations in three unrelated patients. All patients had the severe childhood form of VLCAD deficiency with early onset and high mortality. Imm
In order to test the hypothesis that longchain L 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency is associated with the lipid myopathy and muscle carnitine deficiency observed in Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), we studied the enzyme activity in cultured skin fibroblasts from thre
