Summary

Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD) is a rare genetic disorder. Early diagnosis is crucial, especially in children presenting with hypoketotic hypoglycemia and vomiting, to prevent severe complications.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder.
  • Clinical presentations are variable, including hypoglycemia, cardiomyopathy, and neuromyopathy.

Observation:

  • A 3-year-old male presented with vomiting, hypotonia, and prostration post-respiratory infection.
  • Initial findings included hypoketotic hypoglycemia and elevated liver enzymes.

Findings:

  • Metabolic studies revealed a low lactate/pyruvate ratio, decreased serum carnitine, and dicarboxylic aciduria.
  • Molecular analysis identified homozygosity for the HADHA gene G1528C mutation.

Implications:

  • Consider fatty acid oxidation disorders in children with vomiting, prostration, and hypoketotic hypoglycemia.
