Preferred Label : Acyl-coa dehydrogenase, medium-chain, deficiency of;
Symbol : ACADMD;
CISMeF acronym : ACADMD;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Mcad deficiency; Acadm deficiency; Mcadh deficiency; Carnitine deficiency secondary to medium-chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency;
Description : Inherited deficiency of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is characterized by intolerance
to prolonged fasting, recurrent episodes of hypoglycemic coma with medium-chain dicarboxylic
aciduria, impaired ketogenesis, and low plasma and tissue carnitine levels. The disorder
may be severe, and even fatal, in young patients (Matsubara et al., 1986).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) gene (ACADM,
607008.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Mildly elevated blood ammonia; Increased liver enzymes; Medium chain dicarboxylic aciduria; Decreased plasma carnitine; Acylglycinuria; Deficiency of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase;
