Abstract
A 9-year-old boy had recurrent episodes of myoglobinuria and normal urinary organic acid profile. Very-long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency was detected biochemically in cultured skin fibroblasts and confirmed by Western blot analysis. The patient had a distinctive plasma fatty-acid profile, which was present even between attacks. Early diagnosis of this disorder is important because of the apparently protective effect of an appropriate dietary regimen.Entities:
