Neonatal carnitine palmitoyltransferase-2 deficiency: a case presenting with myopathy.

Mitochondria were isolated from liver, heart and skeletal muscle of a 34-day-old female infant who died from a myopathic illness. Muscle biopsy showed lipid accumulation and no obvious pathology in any other organ. Enzymatic analysis of skeletal muscle extracts revealed normal activities of the markers pyruvate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase. Malonyl-CoA-sensitive carnitine palmitoyltransferase ( CPT1) was detected but malonyl-CoA-insensitive carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT2) appeared to be absent. Quantitative immunoblotting revealed the presence of a normal abundance of CPT2 protein in the patient's muscle. It is concluded that enzymically inactive CPT2 protein was present.[1]
