A Turkish patient with succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase deficiency mimicking diabetic ketoacidosis
Succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of ketone body utilization that is clinically characterized with intermittent ketoacidosis crises. We report here the second Turkish case with SCOT deficiency. She experienced 3 ketoacidotic episodes: The first ketoacidotic crisis mimicked diabetic ketoacidosis because of the associated hyperglycemia. Among patients with SCOT deficiency, the blood glucose levels at the ... Read more

Beta-ketothiolase deficiency: Resolving challenges in diagnosis
Beta-ketothiolase deficiency is an inherited disorder of ketone body metabolism and isoleucine catabolism. It typically manifests as recurrent ketoacidotic episodes with characteristic abnormalities in the urinary organic acid profile. However, several challenges in the diagnosis of beta-ketothiolase deficiency have been encountered: atypical presentations have been reported and some other disorders, such as succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase and 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies, can ...

Molecular characterization of beta-ketothiolase deficiency in 10 Indians: Discovery of 4 novel mutations in ACAT1 gene
Beta-ketothiolase (T2) deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disease caused by mutations in _ACAT1 _gene. This disease affects isoleucine catabolism and ketone body utilization and characterized clinically by intermittent ketoacidotic episodes. We report 9 Indians with beta-ketothiolase deficiency. They were suspected based on their clinical presentations (ketoacidotic episodes) and increased urinary isoleucine catabolic metabolites. Genomic DNA analysis revealed 6 different ... Read more
