MITOCHONDRIAL TRIFUNCTIONAL PROTEIN DEFICIENCY; MTPD

Alternate names

MITOCHONDRIAL TRIFUNCTIONAL PROTEIN DEFICIENCY; MTPD Is also known as trifunctional protein deficiency

Description

The mitochondrial trifunctional protein, composed of 4 alpha and 4 beta subunits, catalyzes 3 steps in mitochondrial beta-oxidation of fatty acids: long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD), long-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase, and long-chain thiolase activities. Trifunctional protein deficiency is characterized by decreased activity of all 3 enzymes. Clinically, classic trifunctional protein deficiency can be classified into 3 main clinical phenotypes: neonatal onset of a severe, lethal condition resulting in sudden unexplained infant death (SIDS ), infantile onset of a hepatic Reye-like syndrome, and late-adolescent onset of primarily a skeletal myopathy (Spiekerkoetter et al., 2003).Some patients with MTP deficiency show a protracted progressive course associated with myopathy, recurrent rhabdomyolysis, and sensorimotor axonal neuropathy. These patients tend to survive into adolescence and adulthood (den Boer et al., 2003).See also isolated LCHAD deficiency (OMIM ), which is caused by mutation in the HADHA gene.

Most common symptoms of MITOCHONDRIAL TRIFUNCTIONAL PROTEIN DEFICIENCY; MTPD

  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Failure to thrive
  • Muscle weakness
