The first line of treatment concentrates on providing a high carbohydrate and low fat diet, and methods to convert the toxic long chain fatty acids to harmless acylcarnitines.[cags.org.ae]
Treatment is primarily conservative for the infantile and the myopathic forms with high carbohydrate (70%) and low fat ( 2, 6, 8 ].[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis for the neonatal form is extremely poor. Survival does not exceed more than a few months at most. Bahrain Al-Arrayed (2006) indicated that CPTII occurs in Bahrain at an approximate incidence of 1/10,000 births.[cags.org.ae]
Prognosis The myopathic form of CPT II has a good prognosis. The severe infantile form may lead to sudden death during infancy due, in general, to paroxysmal cardiac arrhythmias.[orpha.net]
PrognosisPrognosis is poor. The neonatal form is almost always lethal during the first months of life. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only.[orpha.net]
When diagnosed and treated AT BIRTH the prognosis for most of the FODs (i.e., MCAD etc) is excellent. Most can make adjustments to diet/meds when necessary during times of extra activity and illness and lead a full life.[fodsupport.org]
Even with treatment, the prognosis is very poor in these patients. Patients with the severe infantile form of CPT2 typically present within the first year of life.[invitae.com]
Etiology The severe neonatal CPT II deficiency is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous CPT2 mutations that typically result in complete loss of activity of the CPT II enzyme.[orpha.net]
Etiology More than 60 mutations in the CPT2 gene, resulting in general in amino acid substitutions or small deletions, cause the CPT II deficiency.[orpha.net]

Presence or absence of an anion gap (AG) can help to distinguish the underlying etiology. In general, with a pure or uncompensated metabolic acidosis, every 10 mEq/L fall in bicarbonate (HCO 3 ) results in an average pH fall of 0.15.[mhmedical.com]
The molecular etiologies of these syndromes have not been determined. In this investigation, we considered the hypothesis that these syndromes result from defective transport of carnitine into tissues, particularly skeletal muscle.[osti.gov]
