Clinical description Presentation can be in the newborn period but most cases have an age of onset between 6 and 24 months. [orpha.net]

Our findings indicate that the mutation R503C should be added to the handful of mutations associated with the severe phenotype when present in the homozygous state or combined with another severe mutation. [link.springer.com]

Marked symmetrical weakness of both arms and legs was confirmed during the neurological workup. She was unable to raise her legs and had difficulties abducting her shoulders. [medicalbag.com]

Appropriate blood, urine, and radiographic workups are required to rule out a secondary cause of hyperlipidemia. Lipoprotein profiles are primarily used to assess cardiac risk and to aid in the diagnosis of lipid metabolism disorders. [namrata.co]

Diagnostic workup and expected values for newborns with elevated C3-carnitine ( 1 ). On further review of the history, we learned that the mother was diagnosed with anemia during the pregnancy. [clinchem.aaccjnls.org]

The question remains of whether the male predominance is due to sex-related differences in exercise activities, an X-chromosomal modifier gene, or hormonal factors such as estrogen that seem to be a regulator of CPT. 17, 18 Diagnostic workup of exercise-induced [jamanetwork.com]

Workup of such patients includes measuring plasma amino acids and looking for succinylacetone on urine organic acid analysis. [genico.ch]

Natural history without treatment Severe infantile form is often fatal. Natural history with treatment Even with treatment, the severe infantile form of CPT2 may be fatal. [newbornscreening.info]

Prognosis The severe infantile form may lead to sudden death during infancy due, in general, to paroxysmal cardiac arrhythmias. This is particularly true for undiagnosed cases. [orpha.net]

In some of the more severe infantile forms, there is a very poor prognosis. [idph.state.il.us]

Coma – Muscle pain and weakness – Weak heart muscle – Irregular heart beat – Enlarged liver – Liver failure Myopathic Form – Muscle pain and weakness – Muscle tissue breakdown – Discolored urine (e.g. red/brown) – Kidney issues( e.g. kidney failure) PROGNOSIS [evolvegene.com]

What is the prognosis? If the enzyme is completely lost there is rapid progression of the condition leading to death in infancy. If some enzyme activity remains, little or no progression with normal strength between episodes. [mda.org.au]

Etiology Missense mutations in the CPT2 gene result in the infantile form of CPT II deficiency. Contrary to the adult myopathic form (see this term), no S113L mutations have ever been detected in the infantile form. [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]

Etiology Carnitine (3-hydroxy-4-trimethylaminobuyric acid) is mostly derived from dietary intake, but can also be synthesized from lysine and methionine in the liver and kidney. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Pathophysiologic findings The CPT system mediates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix. [jamanetwork.com]

[…] compared to the adult group. [17] This group concluded that both the type and location of CPT2 mutation in combination with at least one secondary genetic factor modulate the long-chain fatty acid flux and, therefore, the severity of the disease. [17] Pathophysiology [en.wikipedia.org]

The mechanism of this destabilizing effect and its pathophysiologic impact remain enigmatic. Acyl- l -carnitines with more than 10 carbons in the acyl side-chain stabilized the variant S113L against the temperature-induced inactivation. [ng.neurology.org]

The pathophysiology and molecular biology vary among different forms of SCID, however, the lack of T-cell and B-cell function is the common endpoint in all forms of SCID. [genico.ch]
