ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is a disease of rare autosomal recessive disorder. There are three types of MADD. Type I is a neonatal-onset form with congenital anomalies. Type II is a neonatal-onset form without congenital anomalies. Type III is considered to a milder form and usually responds to riboflavin. However, late-onset form could also be fatal and not responsive to treatments. CASESUMMARY:
We report a severe case of a young man with onset type III MADD induced by drugs and strenuous exercise characterized by rhabdomyolysis and liver dysfunction. Urine analysis indicated 12 out of 70 kinds of organic acids like glutaric acid-2 were detected. Serum analysis in genetic metabolic diseases revealed 24 out of 43 tested items were abnormal, revealing the elevation of several acylcarnitines and the reduction of carnitine in the patient. By next generation sequencing technology for gene sequencing related to fatty acid oxidation and carnitine cycle defects, a rare ETFDH gene variant was identified NM_0044534C.1448C>T(p.Pro483 Leu). The patient was diagnosed with late-onset GAII. He was not responsive to riboflavin and progressively worsened into multiple organ failure that finally led to death.CONCLUSION:
Type III MADD can also be fatal and not responsive to treatments.
