摘要:
A 9-year-old boy had recurrent episodes of myoglobinuria and normal urinary organic acid profile. Very-long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency was detected biochemically in cultured skin fibroblasts and confirmed by Western blot analysis. The patient had a distinctive plasma fatty-acid profile, which was present even between attacks. Early diagnosis of this disorder is important because of the apparently protective effect of an appropriate dietary regimen. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
