Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is a genetic disorder of fatty acid beta oxidation that is caused by a defect in ACADVL, which encodes VLCAD. The clinical presentation of VLCAD deficiency is heterogeneous, and either a delayed diagnosis or a misdiagnosis may sometimes occur. We herein describe a difficult-to-diagnose case of the muscle form of adult-onset VLCAD deficiency with compound heterozygous ACADVL mutations including c.790A>G (p.K264E) and c.1246G>A (p.A416T).
极长链酰基辅酶 A 脱氢酶(VLCAD)缺乏症是一种脂肪酸β氧化的遗传疾病,由编码 VLCAD 的 ACADVL 缺陷引起。VLCAD 缺乏症的临床表现具有异质性,有时可能会出现诊断延迟或误诊。我们在此描述了一例具有 ACADVL 基因突变的杂合子的成年发病的肌肉型 VLCAD 缺乏症的疑难病例,包括 c.790A>G(p.K264E)和 c.1246G>A(p.A416T)。
