Long Chain Acyl-coa Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Description

A genetic disorder characterized by deficiency of the enzyme long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase that metabolizes long-chain fatty acids. Signs and symptoms appear in infancy or childhood and may be triggered during fasting, illness or exercise. They include hypoglycemia, muscle weakness and lethargy.
