Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders Genetically determined inborn errors of metabolism Myopathy/cardiomyopathy/SIDS Initial presentacion: Hypoketotic hypoglycemia Abnormal response to fasting and/or infectious disease stress Fasting >12 exhaust glycogen and mobilizes FAO Overlapping specificities for chain length dehydrogenases
Medium chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency 1/6,000-10,000 caucasian births Most common/Classic FAO disorder Present as hypoketotic/hypoglycemic (Reye Sx) and/or myo/cardiomyophaty, hypotonia, CHF, arrhythmia, SIDS Episodic illness 6m–2y after 12 h fasting or intercurrent infectious disease (vomiting / lethargy / seizures / coma) Most patients normal between episodes / some hypotonic or poor muscle strength
Acyl CoA Dehydrogenases / Substrate specificities EnzymeSubstrate Chain length Deficiency Disease Short Chain (SCAD)C4-6Rare Medium-chain (MCAD)C6-12Common (1:10,000) Very long-chain (VLCAD)C12-16Rare MCAD is one of three mitochondrial Acyl CoA dehydrogenases The homotetramer enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway MCAD substrates are fatty acyl CoAs with acid chain length of C6-C12 The examination of DBS by MS/MS to establish an Acylcarnitine Profile is the method used by the NYS-NBSP Elevation of octanoylcarnitine (C8) is the main marker C6 and ratio C8:C2 help as discriminators
