ICD-11 definition : Carnitine uptake deficiency is a fatty acid disorder due to defective carnitine transporters,
resulting in progressive hypokinetic dilated cardiomyopathy that is generally associated
with muscular weakness. This last sign may be major and result in proximal myopathy
and amyotrophy. Hypoglycemia- and hypoketosis-linked coma or acute hepatic injuries
such as Reye's syndrome may occur after periods of fasting or infections.;
