Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is a newly characterised enzyme in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. A girl who presented on the second day of life with a sudden and severe illness due to deficiency of this enzyme is reported. There is evidence that some children (and perhaps all) originally diagnosed with a deficiency of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, in fact, have a defect involving very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.
极长链酰基辅酶A脱氢酶是线粒体脂肪酸氧化中一种新发现的酶。本文报道了一名因该酶缺乏在出生第二天就突然罹患重病的女孩。有证据表明,一些最初被诊断为长链酰基辅酶A脱氢酶缺乏的儿童(或许所有此类儿童),实际上存在涉及极长链酰基辅酶A脱氢酶的缺陷。
