A novel ETFDH mutation in an adult patient with late-onset riboflavin-responsive multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency

Abstract

ABSTRACTAim of the study: To report a novel mutation in the electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH) gene in an adult patient with late-onset riboflavin-responsive multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.Materials and methods: The genomic DNAs from a patient whose main clinical presentations are muscles weakness and hypoglycemia was analysed.Results: The patient was identified to carry compound heterozygous mutations in ETFDH gene. Two missense mutations c.814 G > A and c.389 A > T were found.Conclusion: This is the first report of c.814G > A mutation in ETFDH in adult patient with MADD.
