[PMID: 38516404 PMCID: PMC10955420 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgmr.2024.101070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim It was aimed to identify markers that would indicate which cases presenting with rhabdomyolysis are more likely to be associated with inherited metabolic diseases. Methods We analyzed 327 children who applied to our Hospital Pediatric Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases Clinic with rhabdomyolysis. The diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis was made by measuring the serum creatinine kinase level in cases presenting with muscle pain, weakness and dark urine. Results Metabolic disease was detected in 29 (16/13, M/F) patients from 26 different families. 298 patients (165/133, M/F) had normal metabolic work-up. We detected glutaric aciduria type 2 in 13 patients (44,6%), glycogen storage disease type 5 in three patients (10,3%), MCAD deficiency in three patients(10,3%), mitochondrial disease in three patients (10,3%), glycogen storage disease type 9 in one patient (3,5%), VLCAD deficiency in one patient (3,5%), LCHAD deficiency in one patient (3,5%), CPT2 deficiency in one patient(3,5%), Tango2 deficiency in one patient (3,5%), lipin-1 deficiency in one patient (3,5%) and primary carnitine deficiency in one patient (3,5%). Conclusion In our study, consanguineous marriage, developmental delay, and intellectual disability were found more frequently in patients with metabolic disease. In addition, CK levels above 2610 U/L was found to be significantly correlated with metabolic disease.

Abstract
Diagnosis of pediatric steatohepatitis is a challenging issue due to a vast number of established and novel causes. Here, we report a child with Multiple Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MADD) presenting with an underrated muscle weakness, exercise intolerance and an atypically severe steatotic liver involvement. A systematic literature review of liver involvement in MADD was performed as well. Our patient is a 11-year-old otherwise healthy, non-obese, male child admitted for some weakness/asthenia, vomiting and recurrent severe hypertransaminasemia (aspartate and alanine aminotransferases up to ×20 times upper limit of normal). Hepatic ultrasound showed a bright liver. MRI detected mild lipid storage of thighs muscles. A liver biopsy showed a micro-macrovacuolar steatohepatitis with minimal fibrosis. Main causes of hypertransaminasemia were ruled out. Serum aminoacids (increased proline), acylcarnitines (increased C4-C18) and a large excretion of urinary glutaric acid, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric and isovaleric acids suggested a diagnosis of MADD. Serum acylcarnitines and urinary organic acids fluctuated overtime paralleling serum transaminases during periods of illness/catabolic stress, confirming their recurrent nature. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis [homozygous c.1658A > G (p.Tyr553Cys) in exon 12 of the ETFDH gene]. Lipid-restricted diet and riboflavin treatment rapidly ameliorated symptoms, hepatic ultrasonography/enzymes, and metabolic profiles. Literature review (37 retrieved eligible studies, 283 patients) showed that liver is an extramuscular organ rarely involved in late-onset MADD (70 patients), and that amongst 45 patients who had fatty liver only nine had severe presentation. Conclusion: MADD is a disorder with a clinically heterogeneous phenotype. Our study suggests that MADD warrants consideration in the work-up of obesity-unrelated severe steatohepatitis.

Abstract
Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an inborn error of metabolism in fatty acid oxidation. We described an unusual case of recurrent vomiting and abdominal pain in a child with MADD, presenting with velvet-like changes in the small intestine. Because of prominent gastrointestinal manifestations and small intestine ulcers, the patient was first diagnosed as Crohn's disease. The patient was admitted to our institution because of recurrent symptoms despite treatment. Upper and lower endoscopy, computed tomography and trios exome sequencing were performed. This patient underwent a repeated video endoscopy, which showed velvet-like changes in the small intestine rather than ulcers. Liver steatosis was identified by computed tomography. Serum tandem mass spectrometry showed elevated C8 and C10. Trios exome sequencing revealed compound heterozygous variants of c.250G>A, 524G>T in ETFDH. The diagnosis of MADD was made. Patient responded to oral riboflavin treatment. With this case, we aimed to highlight the importance of tandem mass spectrometry and genetic sequencing, especially when the endoscopic findings are not pathognomonic in pediatric cases with recurrent gastrointestinal complaints. We confirmed the diagnosis with next generation sequencing, and described unusual findings of velvet-like changes mimicking ulcers in the small intestine in this patient with MADD.
