Abstract

Carnitine palmitoyl transferase I{cyrillic, ukrainian} (CPT I{cyrillic, ukrainian}) deficiency is a rare disorder of long-chain fatty acid oxidation. It is one of the metabolic diseases detectable by tandem mass spectrometry. We report herein a presymptomatic CPT I{cyrillic, ukrainian} deficiency detected in a Japanese female newborn by tandem mass spectrometry newborn screening. A mutation analysis of the CPT1A gene revealed two novel mutations, p.R446X and p.G719D.
