Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report a case of glycogen storage disease (GSD) type Ia misdiagnosed as multiple acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) by mass spectrometry. METHODS A 7 months old boy was admitted to our hospital for elevated transaminase levels lasting more than 1 month. His blood biochemistry showed hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, hyperlipidemia, elevated lactate and uric acid, elevated alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transaminase (AST) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Mass spectrometry analysis of blood and urine showed elevated blood acylcarnitines and dicarboxylic aciduria, indicating multiple acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency. Sanger sequencing of all exons of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) and electronic transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH) was performed for the patient and his parents. RESULTS Coding and flanking sequences of the G6Pase gene detected two heterozygous single base substitutions in the boy. One variant was in exon 1 (c.209G > A), Which was also detected in the father. Another was in exon 5 (c.648G > T), which was detected in the mother. Coding and flanking sequences of the ETFDH gene revealed no pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the boy. CONCLUSION GSD Ia can manifest elevated blood acyl carnitines and dicarboxylic aciduria which were the typical clinical manifestations of MADD. So the patient with clinical manifestations similar to MADD is in need of differential diagnosis for GSD Ia. Genetic testing is helpful to confirming the diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase, also called ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF-QO), is a protein localized in the inner membrane of mitochondria, playing a central role in the electron-transfer system. Indeed, ETF-QO mediates electron transport from flavoprotein dehydrogenases to the ubiquinone pool. ETF-QO mutations are often associated with riboflavin-responsive multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (RR-MADD, OMIM#231680), a multisystem genetic disease characterized by various clinical manifestations with different degrees of severity. In this review, we outline the clinical features correlated with ETF-QO deficiency and the benefits obtained from different treatments, such as riboflavin, L-carnitine and/or coenzyme Q10 supplementation, and a diet poor in fat and protein. Moreover, we provide a detailed summary of molecular and bioinformatic investigations, describing the mutations identified in ETFDH gene and highlighting their predicted impact on enzymatic structure and activity. In addition, we report biochemical and functional analysis, performed in HEK293 cells and patient fibroblasts and muscle cells, to show the relationship between the nature of ETFDH mutations, the variable impairment of enzyme function, and the different degrees of RR-MADD severity. Finally, we describe in detail 5 RR-MADD patients carrying different ETFDH mutations and presenting variable degrees of clinical symptom severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic myopathies are a heterogenous group of muscle diseases typically characterized by exercise intolerance, myalgia and progressive muscle weakness. Effective treatments for some of these diseases are available, but while our understanding of the pathogenesis of metabolic myopathies related to glycogen storage, lipid metabolism and β-oxidation is well established, evidence linking treatments with the precise causative genetic defect is lacking. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to collate all published evidence on pharmacological therapies for the aforementioned metabolic myopathies and link this to the genetic mutation in a format amenable to databasing for further computational use in line with the principles of the "treatabolome" project. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted to retrieve all levels of evidence examining the therapeutic efficacy of pharmacological treatments on metabolic myopathies related to glycogen storage and lipid metabolism. A key inclusion criterion was the availability of the genetic variant of the treated patients in order to link treatment outcome with the genetic defect. RESULTS Of the 1,085 articles initially identified, 268 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, of which 87 were carried over into the final data extraction. The most studied metabolic myopathies were Pompe disease (45 articles), multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency related to mutations in the ETFDH gene (15 articles) and systemic primary carnitine deficiency (8 articles). The most studied therapeutic management strategies for these diseases were enzyme replacement therapy, riboflavin, and carnitine supplementation, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides evidence for treatments of metabolic myopathies linked with the genetic defect in a computationally accessible format suitable for databasing in the treatabolome system, which will enable clinicians to acquire evidence on appropriate therapeutic options for their patient at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is a common condition that affects as many as 70% of pregnant women. Although no consensus definition is available for hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), it is typically viewed as the severe form of NVP and has been reported to occur in 0.3-10.8% of pregnant women. HG can be associated with poor maternal, fetal and child outcomes. The majority of women with NVP can be managed with dietary and lifestyle changes, but more than one-third of patients experience clinically relevant symptoms that may require fluid and vitamin supplementation and/or antiemetic therapy such as, for example, combined doxylamine/pyridoxine, which is not teratogenic and may be effective in treating NVP. Ondansetron is commonly used to treat HG, but studies are urgently needed to determine whether it is safer and more effective than using first-line antiemetics. Thiamine (vitamin B1) should be introduced following protocols to prevent refeeding syndrome and Wernicke encephalopathy. Recent advances in the genetic study of NVP and HG suggest a placental component to the aetiology by implicating common variants in genes encoding placental proteins (namely GDF15 and IGFBP7) and hormone receptors (namely GFRAL and PGR). New studies on aetiology, diagnosis, management and treatment are under way. In the next decade, progress in these areas may improve maternal quality of life and limit the adverse outcomes associated with HG.

Abstract
Background: Late-onset multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is the most common type of lipid storage myopathies in China. Most patients with late-onset MADD are well responsive to riboflavin. Up to now, these patients are often treated with glucocorticoids as the first-line drug because they are misdiagnosed as polymyositis without muscle biopsy or gene analysis. Although glucocorticoids seem to improve the fatty acid metabolism of late-onset MADD, the objective evaluation of their rationalization on this disorder and comparison with riboflavin treatment are unknown. Methods: We performed a historical cohort study on the efficacy of the two drugs among 45 patients with late-onset MADD, who were divided into glucocorticoids group and riboflavin group. Detailed clinical information of baseline and 1-month follow-up were collected. Results: After 1-month treatment, a dramatic improvement of muscle strength was found in riboflavin group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in muscle enzymes between the two groups. Significantly, the number of patients with full recovery in glucocorticoids group was less than the number in riboflavin group (P < 0.05). On the other hand, almost half of the patients in riboflavin group still presented high-level muscle enzymes and weak muscle strength after 1-month riboflavin treatment, meaning that 1-month treatment duration maybe insufficient and patients should keep on riboflavin supplement for a longer time. Conclusions: Our results provide credible evidences that the overall efficacy of riboflavin is superior to glucocorticoids, and a longer duration of riboflavin treatment is necessary for patients with late-onset MADD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Late-onset multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is a rare, treatable, beta-oxidation disorder responsible for neuromuscular symptoms in adults. This case series describes the clinical and biochemical features of 13 French patients with late-onset MADD. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirteen ambulant patients (eight women, five men), with a median age at onset of 27 years, initially experienced exercise intolerance (n=9), isolated muscle weakness (n=1) and a multisystemic pattern with either central nervous system or hepatic dysfunction (n=3). During the worsening period, moderate rhabdomyolysis (n=5), a pseudomyasthenic pattern (n=5) and acute respiratory failure (n=1) have been observed. Weakness typically affected the proximal limbs and axial muscles, and there was sometimes facial asymmetry (n=3). Moderate respiratory insufficiency was noted in one case. Median baseline creatine kinase was 190IU/L. Lactacidemia was sometimes moderately increased at rest (3/10) and after exercise (1/3). The acylcarnitine profile was characteristic, with increases in all chain-length acylcarnitine species. Electromyography revealed a myogenic pattern, while muscle biopsy showed lipidosis, sometimes with COX-negative fibers (n=2). The mitochondrial respiratory chain was impaired in five cases, with coenzyme Q10 decreased in two cases. All patients harbored mutations in the ETFDH gene (four homozygous, seven compound heterozygous, two single heterozygous), with nine previously unidentified mutations. All patients were good responders to medical treatment, but exercise intolerance and/or muscular weakness persisted in 11 of them. CONCLUSION Late-onset forms of MADD may present as atypical beta-oxidation disorders. Acylcarnitine profiling and muscle biopsy remain the most decisive investigations for assessing the diagnosis. These tests should thus probably be performed more widely, particularly in unexplained cases of neuromuscular and multisystemic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of electron transfer flavoprotein or electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase. The clinical picture of late-onset forms is highly variable with symptoms ranging from acute metabolic decompensations to chronic, mainly muscular problems or even asymptomatic cases. METHODS All 350 cases of late-onset MADD reported in the literature to date have been analyzed and evaluated with respect to age at presentation, diagnostic delay, biochemical features and diagnostic parameters as well as response to treatment. RESULTS Mean age at onset was 19.2 years. The mean delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 3.9 years. Chronic muscular symptoms were more than twice as common as acute metabolic decompensations (85% versus 33% of patients, respectively). 20% had both acute and chronic symptoms. 5% of patients had died at a mean age of 5.8 years, while 3% of patients have remained asymptomatic until a maximum age of 14 years. Diagnosis may be difficult as a relevant number of patients do not display typical biochemical patterns of urine organic acids and blood acylcarnitines during times of wellbeing. The vast majority of patients carry mutations in the ETFDH gene (93%), while mutations in the ETFA (5%) and ETFB (2%) genes are the exceptions. Almost all patients with late-onset MADD (98%) are clearly responsive to riboflavin. CONCLUSIONS Late-onset MADD is probably an underdiagnosed disease and should be considered in all patients with acute or chronic muscular symptoms or acute metabolic decompensation with hypoglycemia, acidosis, encephalopathy and hepatopathy. This may not only prevent patients from invasive diagnostic procedures such as muscle biopsies, but also help to avoid fatal metabolic decompensations.

Abstract
Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency (MADD; also known as glutaric aciduria type II) is a human autosomal recessive disease classified as one of the mitochondrial fatty-acid oxidation disorders. MADD is caused by a defect in the electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) or ETF dehydrogenase (ETFDH) molecule, but as yet, inherited MADD has not been reported in animals. Here we present the first report of MADD in a cat. The affected animal presented with symptoms characteristic of MADD including hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia, vomiting, diagnostic organic aciduria, and accumulation of medium- and long-chain fatty acids in plasma. Treatment with riboflavin and L-carnitine ameliorated the symptoms. To detect the gene mutation responsible for MADD in this case, we determined the complete cDNA sequences of feline ETFα, ETFβ, and ETFDH. Finally, we identified the feline patient-specific mutation, c.692T>G (p.F231C) in ETFDH. The affected animal only carries mutant alleles of ETFDH. p.F231 in feline ETFDH is completely conserved in eukaryotes, and is located on the apical surface of ETFDH, receiving electrons from ETF. This study thus identified the mutation strongly suspected to have been the cause of MADD in this cat.

Abstract
We describe the pregnancy of a patient of French-Canadian descent with multiple Acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency (MADD). The proband was found to harbor a previously reported homozygous missense mutation on EFTDH gene (p.Pro534Leu:c.1601C>T) confirming the biochemical diagnosis of MADD. This mutation was not found in 50 controls from the same ethnic background. The clinical and molecular information of all patients with ETFDH mutations reported in the literature up-to-date are summarized.
