Alternative titles and symbols : SBCADD; 2-methylbutyryl glycinuria; Short/branched-chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency;
Description : 2-Methylbutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (MBD) deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic
disorder of impaired isoleucine degradation. It is most often ascertained via newborn
screening and is usually clinically asymptomatic, although some patients have been
reported to have delayed development and neurologic signs. Therefore, the clinical
relevance of the deficiency is unclear (Sass et al.., 2008).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the short/branched-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene (ACADSB,
600301.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Increased urinary 2-methylbutyrylglycine; Increased plasma 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine; Decreased short/branched-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase protein levels and enzyme activity;
