Preferred Label : Malonyl-coa decarboxylase deficiency;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency is an uncommon inherited metabolic disease. The
characteristic phenotype is variable, but may include developmental delay in early
childhood, seizures, hypotonia, diarrhea, vomiting, metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia,
ketosis, abnormal urinary compounds, lactic acidemia, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(Sweetman and Williams, 2001).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the malonyl-CoA decarboxylase gene (MLYCD, 606761.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hypoglycemia; Ketosis; Abnormal urinary compounds; Lactic acidemia; Mitochondrial malonyl-CoA decarboxylase activity in fibroblasts is very low (as low
as 4%);
